Okay, I don't want to be the subject of someone's rant about idiots here, so what is the proper protocol when shopping ?
The clerk will give you the weapon with the action open (right?), and what is the customer allowed to do:
- work the action ?
- rack the slide ?
- pump the pump ?
- dry fire ?
- test the sights ? how ? pointing where ? with the action open or closed ?
- how about if you want to test for mount & swing on a shotgun ?
I'm always very timid when shopping knives or guns - gingerly handling them, placing them on the counter the way I received them. I'm always worried about doing the wrong thing.
