It was obvious from the way I handled the gun that I knew nothing about firearms. Tony sold it to me anyway. The whole thing took 7 minutes. As a gratified consumer, I thought, “Well, that was easy.” Then the terrifying reality hit me, “Holy hell, that was EASY.” Too easy. I still knew nothing about firearms.
[I]OK, so maybe Colorado Rep. Joe Salazar was talking about THIS lady when he said that women were too stupid to own guns.[/I]
Tony told me a Glock doesn’t have an external safety feature, so when I got home and opened the box and saw the magazine in the gun I freaked. I was too scared to try and eject it as thoughts flooded my mind of me accidentally shooting the gun and a bullet hitting my son in the house or rupturing the gas tank of my car, followed by an earth-shaking explosion. This was the first time my hands shook from the adrenaline surge and the first time I questioned the wisdom of this 30-day experiment.
I wonder, is this lady advocating that lawmakers draft a Bill that would encourage Clerks of gun shops to use discretion in deciding who is too stupid to own a gun based on how they act when they are at the counter during a sale?
Oregon has a law like this for establishments that sell liquor. Only it's based on apparent drunkenness instead of stupidity.
