"There is no way anybody can fault Steve Barnett in this situation. He is a gun salesman, not a gunsmith and he is as honest as they come."


"Honest as they come"...LOL... that speaks volumes.

Remember - Steve is a dealer. That means when Steve buys a gun, he is an expert. When he sells one, he is just a schlump selling a gun. For all he knows, it might as well be a lawnmower or a lamp.

He probably is a reputable dealer - but I'm sure he uses the Veil of Ignorance to his benefit when it suits.
