He's an anti and supposedly out of business now... so he won't be doing much negotiating.

Can I get a couple boxes of the 9mm Winchester JHP?
"why do you need JHP?"
so I can put it in my gun and shoot with it.
"but that's a police round."
do you know anything about guns?
"I just don't know why you need it."
For shooting.
"but its a police round."
This back and forth went on for one more round until his manager came over and gave me the JHPs.
Hmm, maybe the bastard survived the audit then? Who knows. For awhile his shop was closed or something recently, and the report here was because of fed issues.

Yes in some cases. I have 5 round mags for hunting for my AR in 6.8 SPC. If I have a round in the chamber, the loaded mag won't latch in. That would make it 6 rounds in the gun, and Fish and Game in NH and Maine would frown on this. The alternative would be to insert the mag with 4 rounds, chamber one, remove the mag and add another round to it to make it a total of 5 in the gun.

Oh, had a good one the other week: was having a conversation about licensing in MA, and I explained the steps I went through to get my machine gun license:
Clerk: "Those aren't real"
Me: "..... What?"
Clerk: "Machine gun licenses, they're not real. Just a myth. Mass would NEVER give out something like that"
Me: *take out MGL, slap it on counter*
"Here ya go"
Clerk: *inspects card closely*
"What kind of ****ty printer did you make THIS THING on?? The photo is blurry, the Commonwealth logo looks like crap, the fingerprint is a blob. Maybe this'll fool amateurs, but don't peddle this BS in here. No one has machine guns in MA, they're illegal"
Doesn't EVERYONE'S FID/LTC look like crap? You really, honestly can't fix stupid.
Funny thing is I was told the same thing. Just said thank you, walked out and found a nice Glock 19 Gen 2 with pre ban mags somewhere else.Talking about newer gen 3+ glocks with a clerk.
clerk "You have the 10 round mags"
me "Yes but my prebans will work just fine in it"
clerk "You cannot use prebans in that. You cannot use preban magazines in a postban gun. You will then have an illegal firearm."
Me "Oh really..."
Some times you just don't want to hurt peoples feelings, especially when you are working on a negotiation.
The other day I had a clerk tell me most people on NES don't know what they are talking about. Then I asked him if he ever comes across pre ban P226 mags and he says "there are pre bans for that? I didn't know it was that old"
Where to start?
My two favorites are:
Me: Do you have an 16ga ammo?
Clerk: No, they're illegal.
Me: What?
Clerk: You can't hunt with anything bigger than 12ga.
Me: What about 20ga.
Clerk: That's different, because its smaller.
Me: Same with 16ga.
Clerk: I think it's metric.
My all time favorite - I actually managed to find 16ga slugs in a small gunstore in Maine. As I get up to the counter with my arms full, I had a Massachusetts moment...
Me: Here is a copy of my Mass LTC, and a copy of my NH LTC - can I buy ammo here with these?
Clerk: Nope - I need a credit card or cash
Me: (after a five second pause to comprehend the info) Oh - sorry, I forgot I was in Free America
Clerk: (Ringing up my purchase) Yes sir, and the chair is against the wall.
Went to a well known LGS, looking to buy a Ruger SR45 in black.
They have the gun with the stainless slide.
I ask "Can you get this gun in all black?"
Clerk: "No, the black one is illegal in Mass."
I left and bought it at their competitors store.
Me: (after a five second pause to comprehend the info) Oh - sorry, I forgot I was in Free America
Clerk: (Ringing up my purchase) Yes sir, and the chair is against the wall.
In other words, it passed all Commonwealth security features.The photo is blurry, the Commonwealth logo looks like crap, the fingerprint is a blob.
My latest conversation, I was buying a gun and just filled out the 4473
Me: Ok, I filled it all out.
Clerk: You didn't put your SSN down.
Me: I don't need to put that down.
Clerk: Yes you do it is required. I can't complete the process without it.
Me: I never put it down and it even states it is optional on the form.
Clerk: You still need it. everybody puts it down.
Me: I have filled out plenty of forms without it and have never been rejected.
Clerk: OK I will call but have it handy when they tell me they can't process it without.
Clerk: Box 8, he left it blank. What he doesn't need it? It will still go through? .... proceed.
