 Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in. I'm making this video called 10 mistakes that people make at a gun store We are seeing record numbers of firearms purchases right now in the US. We see packed gun stores We see low inventory lines out the door a lot of people are buying firearms many for the first time and just about every Time I go into a gun store one of these mistakes are violated at least one and I'm making this video I think it's well warranted now before you say what about the gun store worker? You know those guys have attitudes. I already made a video about that I'll link it up top right now. You can check that out and let me know your thoughts But let's get into the 10 mistakes first off It is a mistake to expect the gun store worker to give you a gun review with every firearm that you acquire about These guys are not experts at every single one. You know, they get shipments that come in new products They have to learn them as well or they can make an attempt to Part of being a good buyer is having an idea of what you want Prior to going in, you know, there are so many resources you you can watch YouTube videos You can read written reviews or so forth I remember once I was at a gun store the guy right next to me was watching my video and I said hey What are you doing here? He goes on I'm watching video this guy seems to know what he's talking about I was so flattered. I said Well, that's actually me. So which one are you interested in and we had a conversation and it was cool You know the guy actually subscribed right there and he bought that gun. So, you know, don't expect a gun review from a gun store worker It's unrealistic It's also very rude and disrespect The disrespectful the little ball based on a price that you saw online They say well, you know, I can get this for a better price online. They're gonna say go get out of here Go buy it online. I don't care, you know You have to take into account that when you buy online, all right, you're probably going to get a good price But there's shipping fees. There's transfer fees or Potential taxes that you have to pay and you have to wait for it as we're with the gun store Most of the time you can walk out with the gun. It's certainly like that in Michigan So to to say why can get a better price? You're low balling to get that price without the additional fees and that's just not how this market works So, you know be respectful try to get the best deal I'm not saying don't but your low ball offers will often get ignored and they'll move on to other people in that same type of situation it is unrealistic to expect a great deal on a trade you are Kind of expecting to get ripped off if you're gonna go trade with a gun store, all right You're better off selling or trading privately but to go in there and say well I paid this for this gun even at this store. This is what I paid So certainly you should be trading it back in for this price. It doesn't work that way They are a for-profit business. All right, they are the sellers. You are the buyer See the difference there so to go in and expect a great trade just isn't going to happen if they can't make a good amount of Money on that trade whatever they're taking in they're not gonna do it They may offer you a horrible price and then you're gonna walk out mad saying they tried to rip me off Well, they didn't try to rip you off. They're trying to sustain their business Which is the reason they're there to begin with one of the things that Extremely irritates me is when people butt in to other people's conversations. They interrupt sales They want to share how smart they are share all the information that they know and in many times They don't know much and so they may say something like, you know, why are you looking at that one get this one over here? I got this one and that may be the only gun they have and they're gonna tell you everything that's great about that gun and They're disrupting a potential sale. They're upsetting the worker. They're probably upsetting the buyer And they were never invited into that conversation to begin with in my opinion that goes across the board and anything But it's so prevalent in a gun store and it's very irritating Another thing that will make Many people in the gun store and jump up and they may even yell at you as if you unholster a gun and say Hey, you know, I just want to see they're gonna be like, hey, what are you doing? Put that away, man What do you say? What what my fingers off the trigger the safety's on it's unloaded. They don't know that nobody knows that Only you do and many times they don't trust you. They don't trust your gun handling skills So give them a reason to trust your gun handling skills, you know if you want to show your gun bring it in a case keep the Slide locked open. Okay, where they can verify and then have a discussion but to unholster it is Really something that's going to make people jump up and be alerted another thing is walking around the store with a gun so Worker shows me the gun my buddy's over here. I go, hang on one second. Hey, dude. Check this out and they They may say something like whoa, whoa, whoa get back here. Nobody told you to do that. What what what? I just want to show my buddy. He's interested in two. Don't you want two sales? Well, first off, it would be best to have your buddy come over to where you are but that's not your property so to treat it as if it is your property in that you're taking control of the situation because you Want your buddy to see is completely rude and disrespectful and you shouldn't you just shouldn't do that Another thing is to dry fire a gun. I see this all the time people will you know, they'll get the gun and they'll go Oh, that's a cool gun. Oh, that's cool. Hey, I want to check out that trigger Wow, that's nice. Let me check out the single action. Yeah It's best to ask Taylor's I'm interested in that gun. I've had my eye on it I know a lot about it. I want to pull the trigger before I make that purchase. They will say sure I Would too and you pull the trigger and you can check it out You know, we do our research online many times We need to handle the gun everybody understands that but when you just start pulling the trigger it's uh, it's not a good way to go and every gun needs to be safety checked Even if it was already verified prior to Handling it, you know the safety check hand at you safety check hand it back to you safety check It's just a safe way to go and some people say that's overkill, but why it takes less than a second in the same kind of idea If you're serious about buying a gun and you research the gun I think you should take it apart to see if there are any flaws But just to say yeah, I like this and just take it apart without any Discussion with the worker. I find that to be pretty disrespectful. Just ask hey, I'm extra in the gun I want a bite. I want to take it apart though to make sure there are no flaws within the Machining or that everything checks out. Well, they'll say yes I've never had anybody tell me no and they completely understand because they bought guns too This one should not have to be said But I'm going to say it anyways to muzzle flash people is a huge Alert signal to everybody around. I don't care if you have the best gun handling skills You know to you only point the gun in a safe direction. Okay, so play it downward Play it downward. Look at the sights. Okay, check out the trigger once you already have that discussion But to point it around at people that gets violated so often I'll have somebody tell me well That's just common sense. Well, of course it's common sense But it is a mistake that people make at gun stores more often than you think it if you don't think I'm right and Just talk to a gun store worker or if you're a gun store worker Let me know in the comments how many people actually do that the last thing. This is number 10. It is not right To expect legal advice from the gun store worker. They are There to sell guns sell ammo holsters gear optics, you know cases, whatever They are not there to give legal advice. There are many resources to get legal advice. You should have a lawyer But in the case you don't you know, and I'm not talking just general little questions If you want legal advice, don't expect to get it from a gun store. That's a mistake You're holding up their attention their time For you know for potential sales that they could make because you have legal questions So those are my ten mistakes that people make at gun stores Let me know if you agree. Let me know if you don't agree and also let me know What else you come up with and perhaps will make a part two if you like videos like this place subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button.
