It sounds like the gun store guy was just trying to save the customer some time (and himself some work) if he'd be denied anyway on the background check. At least they didn't call the cops when the guy went "fing ballistic."
One the time when I was working the gun counter at Shooter's Outpost, the cops came in to arrest a guy the owner had ratted out... no idea for what.
I was paying attention to the interaction of this guy with the cops in case there was gunplay involved, and I'd need to act, and then Jim (the owner) yelled at me in front of everyone for being observant to protect myself and others instead of working... when literally nobody in the store was doing any business right then. All the customers were watching the cops arrest this dude!
Yes, it still pisses me off.![Bang Head [banghead] [banghead]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/045.gif)
