That’s an amazing account. I’ve been in a lot of gun shops and never been in one that allowed a customer to have possession of a weapon without a clerk watching his every move. When it gets crowded people simply have to wait their turn because no clerks divide their attention to more than a single customer at a time.
Allowing an environment where there is such an ability to shoplift weapons - especially rifles - shows criminal negligence IMO.

When purchasing my last rifle, I could have swung it like a battle axe on the gun clerk helping me.
Maybe we should create a law prohibiting citizens from even touching a weapon before a background check and ten day waiting period is completed? /s
I agree with you rockrr. The times I’ve been in there the owner is off to the side, at his desk, BS’n with someone or
on the phone or messin’ with his dog. Not paying a lick of attention to the clientele. Based on what I’ve read and heard from others who frequent the shop ...his *style* of indifference, call it nonchalance, is what did him in.
