You know what the man meant.
As to the ethics of the matter. The guys have stated it well.
We all have seen guns that we thought were such a good deal that we spent that last available dollar only to run up on another that screams to be taken home. Better to make a sounder friendship with that dealer than to risk losing a good relationship.
I long ago decided that i would trade all the good guns that I own for one good friend that was there when I needed him. Even if I kept quiet concerning my need.:}
Best,
John
