I am sure if you posted this on THR, you’d get a lot of posters saying you should have minded your own business.
or how about just treating the like a person and then doing what your supposed to do and run the background check
this is a $650 gun and the customer wants what? he's very loud and angry about the situation. i then said to him that this was unfair treatment and the price should stand: i merely asked if the fee could be wiaved? i was so mad i walked out to avoid a confrontation. long story short is this guy was an a-hole and treated me like a child!
If you slam your mags like I do mine, I would say the store owner under-reacted.I'd say I slammed it as hard as I would slam magazines into a semi-auto pistol.
Two sides to every story. At the very least you have learned how to better handle revolvers....am I in the wrong here? Or should I have known better and worn long sleeves and pants before going into an old timey mom n pop gun shop?
... on the other hand, if the stereotype fits, then ... wear it.at 52 i'm still amazed at the varying views of people, their opinions and certainly where they come from... forget about the damn gun; it can be replaced. this is about humanity and doing the right thing and treating others respectfully. i have tatts and i'm harley biker who happens to be a white collar worker. if this shop owner didn't want his gun handled and was afraid of some marginal rough handling that's just stupid. we're talking about a gun here that is made to shoot high pressure loads and last a life time for god's sake. as for my issue involving a mis-priced gun or anything else for that matter, this is NOT the customer's problem and has nothing to do about morality. it has to do with owning up to mistakes and treating customers wthe respect; there was no compromise or similar act. we had offer and acceptance here and he simply voided the contract and treated me like crap in the process. this gun shop owner is located in greenbrier, tn and has a shooting range; i'll leave it at that.
In the gun world there is allways someone who dosent like how you do something.
Ugh... to clear up misconceptions... I didn't flip the cylinder shut. I used my left hand to press it into the frame of the revolver.
Well, what is it? Did you press the cylinder closed, or smack it as hard as you smack a mag into a semiauto pistol under the mistaken belief you needed to do so to put it in battery?
Look, the shop owner may have been rude, or over reacted. Certainly possible. But my question is why do you have tattoos? Or the above poster a Mohawk? Be honest.
Quite likely you want to project an image of looking rebellious, of looking badass, thumbing a nose at stuffy squares. And even if you don't want that, that is what it projects. _Own it_. If you project an image of being a badass, people will take you up on it.
Sure that guy should be polite to you. But you compound your image problem by mishandling his revolver (not your fault, we all learn, and sounds like you were misinformed) and then gave him a smart ass reply.
forget about the damn gun; it can be replaced.

So the OP should have apologized and the shop owner shouldn't have been so rude.
