I was picking up a pistol I purchased a little while ago (stupid waiting periods). Next to me at the counter was a guy filling out the yellow form. It appeared from his speech, his posture and his unsteadiness that he has some sort of handicap. He also had a guy watching standing with him, seemed to me like a caretaker of sorts. They guy has taken 2 attempts to fill out the yellow form and made mistakes. At which point the caretaker ask if he could fill out the form from him. The sales person then said, “I just want you to know that I don’t feel comfortable selling you the gunâ€.
I don’t understand why the sales person didn’t/couldn’t just say “Sorry, I can’t sell you a gun†if he didn’t feel right about it.
As I was driving back to work I was hit with conflicting feeling of 1) I don’t know what this guys deal is so it should be fine for him to own guns if he passes the background check and 2) He can barely hold that pen steady I really don’t want this guy shooting anything in the same county as me.
