That's not to mention any legitimate customers. Wasn't there a robbery attempt that failed because one or more of the gun shop customers were armed, maybe half a dozen years ago?
Actually, most of the ones I’ve been in here in Georgia, they ask that customers have the weapons checked at the counter as a precaution.
This reminds me of a funny story. I was at a Cobb County gun show years ago and they had police at the door that zip-tied all the customer guns to make sure there weren’t any accidents waiting to happen. I was standing at a table with a younger man and his wife and they were admiring a gun and she grabs in her little bitty purse and pulls out this big damn revolver and says, “baby, is that one bigger than mine?”........ I had to laugh as he was trying to get her to cram that back into her little clutch....... :0)
