The logical opposite may be even more true. Someone at the store knowingly took in a salt wood gun for pennies on the dollar, to pass the savings on to someone else, as well as earn their usual profit margin to make ends meet. The mentoring concept is huge, but it seems cringe worthy to chase down a stranger in a parking lot, immediately after a purchase that one was eavesdropping on. Maybe, a boy, you don't see those every day, gonna take it to the local skeet range?

Some people get insulted when you suggest their new treasure, purchased, or not, might have some warts.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Best,

Maybe you could follow him home and tell him his spouse is ugly.

For what reasons do you make such offensive posts?

Does it make you feel better?

Very sad commentary.

Who the phuk do you people think you are?

You would only get one reply from me if you came up to me as I was walking out of the store. I would say good for you, now go phuk yourself.

My new firearm purchase is my business, not yours.

If you want to shit on somebody, go play on the Internet.

Now hit the bricks geezer.


How’s that for a clear “What would you do?” Reply.


I don’t even want to know why some of you think you have the right to go up to somebody out of the blue and shit on their new purchase.


Out there doing it best I can.

Really? Butting in and telling a complete stranger that he got hoodwinked on a purchases the same as saying his wife is ugly and just as rude and obnoxious.

If you were at a tag sale and bought a used pc of Stickley furniture and as you were loading it, someone told you that in 62-68, they did not use quarter sawn oak and you got hoodwinked, how would react. Like Clapper I would tell you to MYOB. The OP premise is ridiculous and then he changes the details

Frankly, the saddest thing is your obnoxious, oversized picture. It seems like you are compensating.
Who else does this?

Maybe you should resize it and then look in the mirror to see if you suffer from an Irony deficiency

It doesn’t offend me.
It is the intrusion into someone else’s life that does.

It’s no one else’s business but the buyer’s.

Certainly none of yours.

I have thoughts on why people feel compelled to do such things. That wasn’t the original question however.

The old saw, “if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all”…definitely applies to shotgun purchases at retail gun shops.
