When buying a handgun.
Made the drive to Lakeville Gander Mountain on a hot tip on a used handgun.
I brought my favorite wife along as the fed’s know not to screw with her and the transaction goes through in minutes. With me, it seems like it takes about 6 hours. I didn’t want to make a trip back.
My favorite wife NEEDS bifocals, but refuses to wear them. I had to read the federal form to her and pointed out where to sign. While this was going on the sales clerk was looking at us kind of funny…
Well, you know me. Can’t ever resist clowning around…I told him (without thinking of course) that “it’s too bad I’m a convicted felon and have to have my wife buy all my guns”. With a smile on his face…he thought a moment and said “you know, I should refuse this sale”.
I ended up apologizing, showing him my paper work, explaining why I was having my wife buy it and why I was reading the paperwork to her!
My hat’s off to Ganders Firearms guy! He handle my stupid comment very well.
