The other day when I was at Academy getting a new shotgun there was an old lady getting a little .380 and she pointed at one of the Remington R1s with a threaded barrel and asked why that one had a weird barrel. The guy behind the counter explained it was threaded so you could put a silencer on it. When she said they were illegal he told her that you just had to fill out some paperwork and pay a tax stamp. She threw up her hands and said, "Next thing you know machine guns will be legal too!"
Ok, so this was at a range - I never hang out in the clubhouse but there always seems to be some goofy discussion going on when I go in to use the bathroom:
<very serious conversation in progress>
"....but it's impossible. You CAN NOT hit a monkey with a bow and arrow. They just dodge all the arrows!"

Overhead an employee at a gun store explaining to a customer what the forward assist on an AR15 was for. He said "See if I let the bolt down slowly I can force it into battery with the charging handle." Customer said "Oh this gun has to have batteries?"
Customer looking at a Ruger SP101. "What's the capacity on this?" Employee replied "5 shots." Customer said "Plus one in the chamber right?"

So awesome, I actually fist-pumped!

One thing I have always wanted to go into a gun shop and ask is this...I'm thinking of knocking over a liquor store, what gun would you suggest?
I know it probably wouldn't go over well which is why I have never asked it. I am curious how somebody at a gunshop would react to a question like that, if they would "get" that it was a joke or if I'd be told get out and never come back.
Ok so on to the funniest thing I ever heard was concerning a gun in .40 S&W. Don't get one of those, they are a passing fad, stick with a 9mm or 45.

I wouldn't have assumed it was a joke. Not because I'm Serious Sam, but simply because A) you have to explore, just in case and B) I've had enough people say incredibly stupid things that I believe that some people are really just that dumb.
Case in point, and this was actually said to me:
"OSP* said I can't get a gun because I have a stupid felony domestic thing from when I got drunk and beat up my girlfriend. You can tell them they can let me have it, though. We're still together."
*Oregon State Police
In case there is any confusion:
FELONIES ARE NOT O.K., even if your lady doesn't leave you for beating her!

Just off the top of my head... this would probably go over approximately as well as joking about hijacking a plane while standing in the TSA line at the airport.cryogenic419 said:
Bass Pro Shop - Guy is looking for 45 Auto ammo. They actually had different brands in that caliber on the shelf. BPS employee is opening up various boxes and allowing the customer to examine the ammo. They open up a box of the Hornady ZombieMax. Customer comments on the green plastic plug in the cavity of the hollow point bullet. BPS employee tells the customer "that's to keep air from filling up the hollow point and expanding it when you shoot it."
Customer: "Really. How much air does it take to do that?"
BPS employee: "Not much at all".

LGS in Tx. Good ol' boy is talking to Blimpo the Clerk. Blimpo is trying to sell Cowboy Tough guy a snubby. TG says that it only has 5 shots. Blimpo says " Well, if ya need more than one, you ain't doing your business". Cowboy buys the gun. Both bro bond in a wave of Har, Har, Hars.

Overheard two customers talking about a keltec P3AT. "380 is a useless self defense caliber unless you use Federal Hydrashocks."
The other day I was giving a private training session to a few ladies (appeared to be college aged) that had never fired a gun before. After going over the safety protocols and basic functions of the guns we went to the range.
I then proceeded to load up their magazines so they could shoot. Then one of them asked me....
"is this how all the bullets come?" Pointing to the box of 9mm on the bench. "I thought they already came loaded into that clip thingy. That sucks that you have to load them each time."
I just kinda chuckled to myself.

Hey... ! That young lady's just listening to those who really understand that to be the case:
Questioned on what's to be done with the millions of high-capacity
magazines already in circulation, [CO Democratic Rep. Diana] DeGette
asserted that they'd be discarded once they're used.
"I will tell you these are ammunition -- bullets -- so the people who
have those now they are going to shoot them, and so if you ban
-- if you ban them in the future, the number of these high capacity
magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the
bullets will have been shot and there won't be any more available,"
she said.
April`13, Denver Post Forum
(and we wonder why Colorado's gone off the deep end)
With lawmaker so remarkably astute... who can blame your student?
But many thanks to 10's of thousands of weapons owners like yourself who actually take the time, and have the real knowledge, there's one less citizen who'll listen quite so gullibly to the Kool-Aid now.
