Gun buying humor

From a friend:

Got my concealed carry permit yesterday. In the afternoon, I went over to the local Bass Pro Shop to get a small 9mm handgun for home/personal protection. When I was ready to pay for the pistol and ammo, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me." Making a mental note to complain to the NRA about the gun control wackos running amok, I did just as she had instructed.

When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out she was referring to how I should place my credit card in the card reader!!!

As an intelligent senior citizen, I do not get flustered often. But this time, it took me a while to get my pants back on. I've been asked to shop elsewhere in the future. They need to make their instructions to seniors a little more clear. I still don't think I looked that bad.

    No offense, but if you really made that obvious a mistake, I'm not sure I want you out there with a gun.

    That was a good one. I'll have to remember not to take everything at face value.

    I've seen enough "man on the street" interviews like "Watters' World" to be convinced that the USA has way too many "low information voters" walking the sidewalks without much of a clue.

    Good story! It's sad that the state of gun ownership in America is so bad that this seems like a possible requirement to buy one!

    Ocho Dedos in Spanish. At one time I was on Recon Team Sherman an in house code. So I became Peabody... currently it is Miguelito Ratoncito the fastest Soltero Profecional en tohhhhhhdohhhhh Mexico. I went from Tai Kwon Do to Glock Do. since we're doing humor. However Speedy is my primo.

    Ever hear of the dyslectic who wrote out everything to say during a stick up first? All Right Mother stickers this is a .......up. Do not fill in the blanks this is a family forum.

    +1 +1 !!!!!!

    I always wonder about where in "shall not be infringed" somehow refers to requiring a permit, waiting period, background check or prohibitions on certain characteristics and features...

    I guess it's the same as calling IOU's from a banking cartel, rather than gold and silver "real money"...

    Guess we've been sheeple so long we've forgotten our history... or what America stands for... One thing is for certain - We The People certainly learned how to become Pavlov's dog to the Master's Voice quite well...

    Grrrrr.....

    It's gravity. Does it to you when you're not looking. I hope you left your tidy whities on. Covers a multitude of sins.

    er, um, I was going for the double entendre about his "gun" when he stripped down. At least I didn't call it a schlong :)

    I'm in the middle of a rough emotional stretch (probably wouldn't be able to get a CC right now), but I had to laugh. Thanks for brightening up my day just a bit.
