Firearms Safety course rip-offs-UPDATE!!
I have to vent on this. A woman and her sister came into the store looking for a pistol. She was recently divorced and although she didn't say so, I think there is a fear factor involved.
Both the women were obviously and totally clueless as I pointed them to a .22 to get started. They didn't know the difference between a wheel gun and a semi-automatic to give you an example. I wound up giving her a firearms 101 lecture, safety, operation, etc. She decided on a P-22 and gave me her Class LTC. At some point in the conversation she volunteered that she had never shot a gun before.
I was incredulous and asked about her safety course and she told me the guy played a video tape, showed them a gun and that was it.
I sold it to her but I have felt guilty ever since and also fearful that she might get hurt. I told her to please not shoot the gun until she joins a club and gets someone there to help or take another course which she said she was going to do.(Smarter than most)
Anyway, this whole thing really pisses me off and hats off to those of you who do it right and a pox on those who just trying to cop a c-note.
