Yep. Not much point to this, but I figured I'd share something I saw this afternoon.
Went into my LGS to pick up some primers and while waiting around for counter help, I stumbled across a guy putting two .500 S&W Mags on layaway. I didn't really think much of it, just that's cool, he's getting one for himself and the other as a gift or something... He was a biker guy in his mid to late 30s, bandana on his head, leathers, the full nine yards. Not that it matters, as him being a biker has nothing to do with it, I just want to describe what I'm seeing. Anyways, the clerk is filling out the paperwork, and the biker picks up both revolvers, one in each hand and starts dry-firing them, arms extended, guns akimbo style. Then proceeds to tell the clerk how he's going to get a holster rig for both so he can "dual wield" them. He wasn't joking. The clerk gave me *that* look, probably because he noticed my astonished look, and the guy continued to sight down both barrels and snap away, sometimes pointing them both at the same target on the wall or sometimes pointing them at two separate targets. The guy was dead serious. He had bought the long barreled versions, and you could tell he was having to struggle with the left hand, especially with the trigger. I picked up my primers and left the biker-ninja to do his thing.
It doesn't matter. It's his money and he wasn't being unsafe about what he was doing - so for all I care he can do whatever he wants. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to be a fly on the wall when he tries that nonsense.
Sometimes I just wonder what is going through people's heads when I see them in gun stores.
