That is an unusual policy, and it will be interesting to hear if all Bass Pro Shops are adhering to the same rules.

I can almost understand it from the standpoint of having endless tire-kickers coming in and repeatedly dry firing and slamming guns closed, etc. Not everyone handles a gun with care, or knows what they are doing, and more so if they don't own it. I suppose if the gun really interested me and we arrived at an agreeable price, we could also agree that I had the right of refusal if it didn't meet any of the usual function tests. Under the circumstances, I might ask for that guarantee in writing. For a gun like a DHE that would likely sell for several thou at a retail store if in nice condition, I'd ask for a 3 Day FIRING Function return policy. All they could do is say no, and I could then take my money elsewhere.

Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug
