So I want to purchase my first handgun and I call the local gun shop here and ask if they offer lessons. I asked if they rent out fire-arms so that my wife and I can become familiar before we make a purchase. They said that yes they have a range, and they will teach me. No real reply to my asking about renting guns other than “We’ll work with yaâ€. So not being stupid and understanding that this guy wants to sell me a gun I tell him my situation, that I have a place that I can get firearms at a great deal but I still need to buy ammunition and have a range to go to, and I will pay for these as well as lessons and hope to find a local place that I can get this done at. He starts going off “Well get your training from them then, you scratch my back I scratch yours, You sh#t on me I sh#t on you!!! That is just the way it is! Cant give ya stuff for free†I have been talking with this guy for less than 60 seconds, the owner of the shop, I never asked for free stuff. So I say okay, do you have a certified instructor and offer lessons, I will pay for lessons. “Been certified since I was born….†was the reply. So I ask again, no real answer to my question. I restated my intention to pay. Is this someone you would work with? Is this what I should expect from gun dealers, fulfillment of what every anti-gun person in this country wants America to see the gun owner as, a hot head, cursing, don’t mess with me mentality?
