Gun Counter Employee of the Month

[Carry-a-Kimber]

I was at the local sporting goods store yesterday returning a pair of boots and decided to check out the hunting goods section and over heard a neat conversation. The older man was looking at the guns behind the counter when the young lady working there asked if he needed help, this is a reproduction of what was said.

Employee, "Sir, is there something I could help you with?"

Man, "Oh, just looking at what ya'll have. Do ya'll have a store policy against selling guns to ex-cons?"

Employee, "We don't have a policy against it, but all firearm purchases require an FBI check. If you have any felonies, you can't buy a gun."

Man, "Oh, thats what I thought, I've got a felony on my record so I guess I will just have to look. I really like the Mini-14, but I don't see any, do ya'll carry those?"

Employee, "No, but we have AR-15s, would you like to see one?"

Man, "Sure."

Employee ,"Here ya go." [hands confessed felon the firearm]

Of course this isn't verbatim but pretty close. Isn't it a bad idea, and maybe even illegal to hand someone you know is a felon a firearm, even if you are a dealer within the store? I know that often a person has handled a firearm at the store and then the NCIS comes back with a felony, but if you already know they are a felon?

It's against the law for a felon to have a weapon. An exception in Texas is after 5 years from completion of sentence a felon can have a firearm in their home, but Federal law prohibits that. Maybe it was a test. She failed.
