I don't put with a store that treats me that way. When I go into a store and ask to see a .45, DO NOT offer me a .22 instead!
I am not a feminazi but PUH-LEEZ! Why don't you call me "Little Lady" and pat me on the head while you are at it? 
I went into that same "well-known" pawn/gunshop in the Beaumont area and while I was checking out a gun, this guy tells me..."Does my heart good to see a pretty little gal that knows her way around a firearm!" I was not really offended by this, but I gotta ask, "Why?" Do you assume that most women don't know squat about guns? I may not know everything, but I have seen many a man in a gun store with absolutely NO muzzle awareness and completely clueless as to why I am dodging when he swings it my way. One guy laughed and said, "It's ok, it empty." When I asked how he KNEW he said, "Well, it's new and never been fired." Guess he missed Gun safety rule #1. Ok, stepping down from the soap box now!
