I went by my local gun shop the other day. It happens to be in a strip mall next to a "sex store"- one of those places that sells lingerie, oils, and various "toys" for the kinky. The sex shop had not one, but two signs on the door reading "NO GUNS!".

The guys at the gun store said that some of their customers had been spacing off and wandering into the sex shop carrying rifles or whatever to trade in, and the staff over there was tired of it. Kind of as high level of cluelessness while armed IMHO.

Then there's the fact that the sex shop gets robbed about every six months, and the gun store never does. I guess a clerk with a .45 makes a less tempting target than one with a *****.

Anyway, the whole thing strikes me as funny, and I'm not sure why. What do you guys think?

Would the same result be obtained if the sex shop customers wandered into the gunshop carrying their trades???

:what: :evil: :D
 
Suggest to the gun store that they place a sign banning personal massagers. Take a picture, and report back with it. I have nothing against either business so long as their practices are legal in their respective interests, but the two side by side seem like interesting neighbors.
 
"Excuse me sir I've got this Savage 30-06 and I was wondering joy jelly made a good corrosion preventative"

"I will also need 2 boxes of ultra magnum lubricated to protect the muzzle of my long gun during an upcoming hunting trip with the buddies."
 
There's apparently a sex toy shop in Duluth, MN that has my enlarged pro-gun posters all over its windows. Not everyone in that trade is a hoplophobe.
 
As much as I like your work, Oleg, I think the poster of the blonde in the lacy whatever is going to sell more of their particular product.

Exactly my first thought! :D

Maybe the sex store needs a sign "no robbers allowed inside" or "this store bans robbers"?
 
I would walk over there and ask them why they get robbed so much, but the gun store doesn't. See what their excuse is for that one. "Well, um, um, um, well, um, well..."
 
Hatchet Harry! Justin, you're hilarious.

(The reference is from Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. Hatchet Harry the porn-king/loan shark bludgens some poor welcher to death with a <personal item>. I can hear Jason Statham's voice telling the story, but shouldn't quite quote it in this venue. Too funny.)

I won't ask for a definition of "welcher", either...probably something nasty, like Schumer.

Only nasty if you do not repay your debt.
(n) welcher, welsher (someone who swindles you by not repaying a debt or wager)
 
A welcher is someone who forfeits on a debt or bet.

A derogatory term for the Welsh, like people call Scots miserly.
 
You might tell them they need to change their sign from "Gun" to "Weapons" considering the ""This is my weapon, this is my gun, one is for killing, one is for fun." quote.
 
I believe the quote was "This is my rifle, this is my gun, one is for business the other for fun."
 
The anit-(gun, establishment, government,christ, etc.) attitude seems fairly typical of such places. I went into one a couple years back with a friend who was looking for lingerie for his wife. I noticed all their anti-war, anti conservative stickers, pins, etc. and decided not to go any further. I have no need for their merchandise anyhow.
