[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1461246, member: 99718"] Again I agree totally: that's why I said a gun shop or a gunsmith should be asked I guess I forgot to also add a person that they know has been around firearms for a while. The big chain stores on the most part will only sell, and not take the time to give you some much needed safety information. The buyer may luck out and have a person that has handled guns and knows what he is doing, give them some initial safety tips and pointers. Also a new gun bought will usually have a booklet with the basic things in it that we are talking about, if they can't read they should have a family member read it to them. But what if the buyer buys from a private individual ? There will be no booklet and perhaps the firearm may not even be safe. That's a mistake right there, they should have somebody that knows guns go with them if they are buying from a private party and that will kill two birds with one stone because they will already have a person looking out for their safety by looking at the gun before they buy it. I'm sorry but if they want to own a gun they have to be responsible enough to get the basic knowledge it takes to be safe. Their family members may know that they are not familiar with firearms but how would anybody else know ? It is the buyers responsibility to find this information, or pay the consequence. [/QUOTE]
