    Can’t tell if it’s satire or not, so I’m vascilating between hilarious and terrifying. Hilarifying, if you will. Terrarious if you’re adventurous.

        That’s what I’d expect to happen. Why does he think it’s significant enough to commemorate on social media?

          Why would you expect that? I understand if he was being weird, but just being dressed a certain way shouldn’t impact whether you can buy something.

          I highly doubt he was refused service, he probably just took the picture and left.

            as long as it’s not a protected class businesses can refuse service for arbitrary reasons. I don’t think many gun stores would sell to someone dressed like a weird clown because it looks like they may be having a mental health episode. that said i agree with you he probably just took the picture and didn’t even try.

              They sure can, I just don’t think they would, unless the person was acting oddly. They probably were though, because I assume that’s their shtick, but just dressing up in cosplay but otherwise acting normally probably wouldn’t bother most people behind the counter.

                i respectfully disagree, I own a fair amount of firearms and I don’t think any of the shops I go in would sell to someone dressed like that. They don’t want the publicity of having sold someone a firearm who was obviously not in their right mind that went and did something awful and i think that well qualifies. They are always very professional and don’t tolerate jokes or funny business around the weapons.

                I’m talking a concealed carry class saturday at a shop and i’ll ask because i’m curious now!

    Real talk, you can go buy a gun today and you probably should (maybe not and maybe not today). It’s twenty minutes. Then sign up for some how tos, probably at the place you bought it from and take a few classes. Shoot until you get a good feel for it, then plan to shoot every now and then or as often as you want.

    Yes, it’s a terrible industry run my terrible people. No you’re not John Wick, but fascist need speed bumps, and the police don’t care about you at best.
