If you buy a new gun at Academy in Oklahoma, a store employee has to carry the boxed gun in their hands out the door from the gun bar. If you bring the gun back for any reason, they have to escort you from the door to the gun bar. Walmart used to do the same thing back in the 1990's when I bought two new guns there then. I bought a new Ruger American ranch 5.56 NATO rifle not long ago and I had to bring it to Academy for factory warranty repair shipping and handling last two months and just got it back home tonight. The bolt operation was very sticky. Rounds difficult to chamber and extract. I got the baby escort treatment at Academy.
Big retail corporations have screwy notions about guns and gun owners.
No mom-and-pop gun store I know of escorts people in and out with guns like kids. I generally like dealing with a LGS for firearms transactions anyway. Mom-and-pops are generally more friendly.
