Two tings, first I might not always know ahead of time that I was going to find a gun I wanted until I was in the shop or gun show. "When" I had prior knowledge then of course any talk as to our finances did take place ahead of time.
2nd you have to read something into my post that I "Did Not" say to state I was sharing info with a dealer that was none of his business.
All of us simply do not have unlimited bank accounts. I once had to pass on an AA grade crossbolt "New Lefever" which I considered a bargain at the time simply because it was out of my price range & I made that decision all by myself, no consulting needed. I never bought a gun on credit but there are a couple I wish I had. One was this Lefever & the other a Purdey which I felt at the time was extremely low priced for what it was.
