I have read a few posts here and elsewhere that deal with that old cronnie of the gun world who I call "Elmer Fudd"
Elmer is always an old guy who hunts, or used to, and thinks that guns for any other purpose are a waste of time. He thinks that women shouldn't own guns, or at least nothing more powerful than a .38 special. He sits behind the counter/table and balks at your wife when she asks to see the .44 magnum. He grumbles at you when you ask if he sells 7.62X39mm and he thinks that any gun with black plastic on it has no merit.
I've met several of these guys in my lifetime and am always amazed when I meet another...
Not long ago, my wife and I went to a large retail gunshop in upstate VT fully intent on purchasing a firearm.
We walked out less than a minute later, sans guns, due to the Elmer behind the counter who actually huffed at my wife when she asked to see a .44 revolver in the cabinet... "What's a woman want with a gun like that?" was all he needed to say to make my wife and I leave, never to do business there ever again...
Ever had a situation like this happen to you?
