    Wow - just wow.
    If this is true wouldnt the gunshop owner report these idiots? Sure they might not come back and spend their money but you reduce your risk of getting shot over the counter.

    There is really no excuse for it.

    Several incidents are claimed in the last week.

    Gunworks has a sign at the door stating any bolt actions must have the bolts removed and semis and lever actions must have the actions opened. I expect they have the sign for a reason.

    The article quotes police saying the FAL holders in question can expect to lose their FAL. So they should, as they've also transported a loaded firearm. Idiots.

    Maybe the gun shop should be taking the same measures as Robbie T - force the gun owner to demonstrate the firearm is safe b4 handing it over. No more or less than I expect when someone hands me a firearm.

    I used to hang out in a gun shop for my lunch hour as I was mates with the owner. In that hour I used to witness some dumb shit done by customers and firearms. Marching in off the street, bolt in & action closed waving it around carelessly etc etc. Needless to say they got an abrupt telling off. Hate to say it but cockies were some of the worst

    What happened to opening the bolt so all can see it is unloaded before passing a firearm to someone.
    And wouldn't you remove the bolt before taking the rifle into a shop.
    I think by law you are meant to remove the bolt and mag well transporting a firearm.
    What dumb F------.

    I was in a shop recently and some pig hunter brings in a lever Rossi saying it's malfunctioning, locked partway open. Staff member starts twiddling with it, trying to free it up. Has a good play for a few minutes before the dude casually mentions that the mag is full and it may have one chambered. FFS wouldn't you mention that first off?!

    Nothing in that article indicates that the dipshits implicated in the stupidity were discerning drinkers of the King of beers. It merely indicated that they were from the region that shares the name of the greatest of drinks.
    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
