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.

    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.

    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!
