    He pointed an unloaded rifle at you.................pretend you thought it was loaded grab barrel pull it past your head becuase you stated it was aiming at you r mellon then as his face is close enough fucken hit the cunt right in the kisser pull said rifle out of his hands take out bolt and ask to talk to the boss.the shop dosnt have a leg to stand on as you felt threatened with a potential loaded wepon they will say sorry job done.
    find other shit to winge about like.................................well I dint know because I dint winge much I have a wife shes dose it all for me.
    The main reason for bringing up a subject like this is to get opinions and options on how to deal with the situation.

    Myself:

    1. If I was within reach I would push the barrel away to a safe direction else move to 2.
    2. In a very loud, calm, clear, authoritative voice, so as many in the place can hear including other customers and staff, make it clear that I was uncomfortable having a firearm pointed at me and that both the customer and sales staff must ensure that it never happens again and that they are both responsible for the situation. Basically make them feel very uncomfortable.
    3. If I felt the response to the above was inadequate proceed to ask for both their details for a formal complaint to the Police.

    Admittedly I am a very quiet person but I have been in similar situations before and made plenty of noise about it. The trick is to be calm and authoritative and not resort to being abusive and antagonistic. The arms officers that vetted both TimeRider and myself said that we must take firm action if required.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    There were quite a few that didn't unfortunately.
