And every time you buy a firearm, you ought to hear them again. Our range is explicit about them on the sallyport to the firing lines and every year when we rejoin the club.

I also think that as a matter of friendship and good citizenship and maybe an extra sale, new gun customers to a shop ought to get asked, "hey, so where have you been thinking about storing your new All American Lead Slinger?" "Do you have a nightstand safe, or a gun safe or a lockable enclosure?" We know that most guns come with those ridiculous bike lock devices, that get thrown out as soon as the firearm leaves the shop. . .

Never miss the opportunity for a teachable moment. After my ND last year I've become much more thoughtful about things like this.

No, thank you. I imagine I'd never return to a gun store that got into my business like that every time I purchased a firearm.

Curious if this was another case of a Glock owner pulling the trigger on a loaded chamber while following the disassembly process?
