It's people like that who do a great job in helping gun control advocates undermine our 2A rights. The husband, the clerk, and that chick are literally everything the Brady Campaign could ever wish for, and then some.
Safety is everyone's business, and if someone does not practice gun safety even when the gun is NOT loaded, that can easily transfer over to live-fire exercises, which is a great way for someone to wind up dead from a ND. That's why we have the treat all guns as loaded rule.
The individual holding the firearm was not practicing gun safety and that is all of our business because it threatens our safety and our gun rights...not to mention there is no way for us to know whether or not a gun is loaded regardless whether this is at a range or a show. Obviously, it's worth being as polite as possible, but someone does need to intervene and I think you did the right thing. The people working at the store have a moral obligation here and the clerk should have spoken up, IMO.
