But that’s just me. There’s more I want to say but the more I think about it the more I want to drive to this store and let them have it myself. Some might think I am over reacting but when it comes to firearm safety I don’t think that’s possible.
I would never sit still for that kind of nonsense. I would definitely get the store manager involved.
I'm sorry, but if anyone pointed a gun at me or my family, unloaded or not, I would have said something.
At least " Hey Ace, don't point that at me or anyone else in here" and would have taken it from there.
Several years ago I got into an argument with a friend. We were at his house and his son was running around with a BB pistol pointing it at anyone and everyone. I told the kid not to play with it or point it at people.
His dad, my friend, said 'it's just a BB gun'. I said 'gun is the key word here'. We ended up leaving. Our friendship has never been the same.
Some people don't get it.
I guess I sound like my dad, "you could put an eye out with that thing".
But he was right, as usual.
I wouldn't buy a gun from Academy anyway, their mark up is way too high.
Although it is a good place to look I guess.
I did look at Benelli shotgun there. The older gentleman that helped me asked me to point the gun towards the rear wall before he ever handed it to me.
I ended up buying a Beretta at my GS for a better price.
Enough of me...................
