I know this goes against popular opinion, but I think much to much is made of NEVER letting the muzzle cover anything. It just isn't doable even with loaded guns and concealed carry.

Ok let me rephrase to make more clear. While handling a firearm in the general pubic at a display counter as mentioned above the muzzle should not be pointed at anything but the ground. That’s what I was meaning. I figured in the context above is where my statement would have applied. Not to everyday carry and storage. Is that more clear now?

One more thing. These teenages should not even have been allowed to look at the guns. They can't buy till 21 anyway. That woud have been awhole nother issue.

I think I would have to have more words with more than the clerk at that point and I would have had words with the customer point the weapon at me. That’s uncalled for. There is no reason that the muzzle of any weapon be point in any direction but the floor. I dont care if you the president of the USA. No one should be able the rules of safety. I dont how many safe guards are in place to keep bad things from happening. Without basic safety you have nothing.

Having a muzzle pointed at me does not leave a good feeling in me. Some others might have reaction take over before active thinking can engage or it could spark a flash back to some other event in some one’s life that they are trying to get over and they just sent them back to square one.

If the clerk blew me off as you said he did you I would have to ask to speak with his manager. He would be lucky to have a job after that. But that’s just me. There’s more I want to say but the more I think about it the more I want to drive to this store and let them have it myself. Some might think I am over reacting but when it comes to firearm safety I don’t think that’s possible.
