Where did they find this guy?

This guy never heard of transfer bars, must have been born in 18??. For some reason the big box hunting/fishing stores have avoided California. There are no Cabelas or Gander Mountain in CA, but we do have two Bass Pro Shops. Though I drool over the abundance of items at Bass, I do much better with suppliers over the internet. For new guns the local gun shops beat Bass on prices any day.

Does California have such a thing as "gun shows" the way we have them in Texas? Or do state laws make them all but impossible?

The irritating thing is that the poor lady absorbed that idiocy as gospel. I'd be hard-pressed deciding whether to stay and argue or just go and never return.

I've been to gun-only stores that were just excellent, with the counters well-manned with retired LEO's. And then there were the stores full-up with young hard-ons lacking everything but opinions, which they presented as fact.

There are a few fields of human endeavor that seem to attract the BS: wines, extreme sports, high-end cars,...
and of course guns.

If she had only taken the LGC gun safety course she would have been able to read this in the course book.

Just sayin.
