[QUOTE="Randy Tidwell, post: 1670220, member: 109136"] The bad manners are everywhere. A few years ago at a gun show, I had my expensive XP-100 set up on the table as a display item (amazing how a high end gun attracts people). Doesn't matter if you can shoot or not, they think you can. [ATTACH]140867[/ATTACH] A guy walked up to look at the cleaning products I was offering with is 8-10 yo kid. The kid grabbed the XP and started trying to open the bolt, almost knocked it off the table. I kind of snapped at him with "Hey Buddy, ask before you touch!" Immediately the dad barked at me not to yell at his son, I barked back at him with "Then teach your brat some manners, he should be taught to never touch a gun without permission, especially someone else's gun!" It started to get nasty, so I asked him politely to just walk away from my table, not going to sell you anything. I have never touched someone else's gun with out first asking permission. For some reason that is not being taught these days. I have asked to look at guns at a gun shows and gotten "you don't need to ask, just do it" Not this boy, my dad would raise up out of the grave to smack me. I have zero issue with someone that wants to look at one of my guns, but they need to ask first and it will be on my terms. [/QUOTE]
