Gun Shop Humor

This really happened. About a year ago, I was in a local gun shop and a customer had just decided on a nice new Browning Hi Power.

The guy behind the counter, a new employee that was eager to learn more about guns and not in the least bit arrogant, asked, "Would you like to get some ammo too?"

The customer asked, "What are my choices?"

The new employee looked him straight in the eye and said, "Yes or no."

Got any funny Gun Shop stories?

Not exactly gun shop, but...

I attended a handgun refresher course at one of the big schools a while back, with a Glock 23. A couple of weeks later, I was back for another course, this time with a Kimber. One of the instructors commented on my change of hardware, and asked about the Kimber, "whose is it?"

Not realizing he meant "what brand is it", I replied, "mine".
 
i was at the Greensboro Gun Show one year looking and drooling at all the hardware. suddenly i heard a loud "BANG" a deadly hush fell over the croud. you could of heard a pin drop. then someone hollared "DID YOU GET HIM?" the whole crowd busted out laughing and the din of a thousand shopping voices started up again.
some numnuts had brought in a loaded .32 pocket pistol and handed it to a dealer for an estimate. the dealer had shot himself thru the hand with it. that was not funny but the response of the crowd was.

sensop, that was pretty funny -- it reminded me of something that happened to me when I was returning from a gun show in a place that I had never been to and we were hopelessly lost trying to find our way back home. We stopped into a butcher shop because it was the only place open and waited out turn to buy sandwiches and ask for directions. The lady in front of us asked the butcher if he had pigfeet and he looked down at the floor and said "no, I have feet like everyone else".

Okay. I know it's not gun shop humor but sensop's story reminded me of it. Sorry.
 
Another one from a gun show:
There was an area set up for a peddler of kevlar vests. At one end of the area was a TV&VCR with a tape of a guy shooting himself with various pistols. The guy would haul out a heater, shoot himself in the chest, then smile for the camera to prove he hadn't just turned his chest into a drive-thru. People gathered to watch the fun, including myself, in a sort of horrified fascination at some guy repeatedly blasing away at himself.
At one point the guy hauled out a HUGE revolver, with his arms stretched out the muzzle was only a couple of inches from his chest, and then blew himself off his feet. One of the venders smiled from behind the table and cheerfuly asked "Well, what do you think about that?"
" Looks like a hard way to make a living." I said.

At gun shows there is the requisite guy selling stun guns, and thos baton stun gun things. I was bored, no more good guns in CA, so I was looking at the stun guns. They vendor had just been telling some people that the they only really work it they touch skin. Most wont work through clothes. One then guy playing the the baton type stun gun carelessly places his hand on the shock portion of the baton and and lost feeling in him arm. I thought it was the funniest thing

Question: why does that M11/9 have a threaded barrel?

Answer: So you can screw on a knurled nut thread protector, of course!

I was killing time in a friend's gun shop, sorta working behind the counter, when one of the local businessmen came in. At the time the shot sold modern guns, only black powder stuff now, and there was a good display of revolvers and pistols.

Businessman, "I want to get a revolver for my wife."

Me, "Bring her in and we'll see if we can work a trade."

Richard Davis, inventor of the modern soft body armor, is the only manufacturer of BA that shoots himself, that I know of. The only thing he puts beneath the vest is a telephone book, he has had too many blunt traumas to his chest from GS's that his doctor demanded he use some padding. The vests in question are the same vests that he sells. No steel inserts, just a Kevlar(tm) vest.
