Hello all – I’m a law student and shooter who still gets out to the range when I get a chance, but right now I’m working on a mock trial that involves a revolver and me wanting a little extra expertise (that’s ya’ll).
In one part of the hypothetical case, a discharged (presumably honorably) Marine (I was going to say “ex-Marine,” but I’ve been told there is no such beast) picks up a .38 revolver at the local gun shop where he says he had his gun cleaned and some maintenance done on the “safety catch” for $6.50 (a short while later, a .38 is used to murder his estranged ex-wife… hmmmm).
I’ve got a couple questions – do folks typically pay to get their guns cleaned? I always just done it myself. Also, I’ve fired a few revolvers, but am not recalling any “safety catches.” And if he was getting it cleaned and worked on, is $6.50 unrealistically inexpensive?
