So, Im helping my 18 year old son in law with his first AR build. We go to the store to get the lower receiver, and the guy grabbed the wrong one from behind the counter. It was more money than we had, so I said "No, thats the wrong one, the lady we talked to on the phone said you had two in stock for 70 bucks." The salesman said to me, are you the buyer of the firearm. I said, "No, he is", pointed to my son in law. I said, "He did some work for me and all he has is the 80 bucks I gave him". The salesman said that he couldnt sell him the lower.. I asked "Why not, Im not buying it, and neither of us are prohibited persons." He told me that if I wanted to leave and come back tomorrow, he could sell it to me, since he knew that I hand the money, and then I could gift it to him in the parking lot if I wanted to. Then it hit me. I told my son in law, "Ok you heard the guy, I can give you a GUN, but I cannot give you MONEY?!? WTF is that stupid **** all about!?!"
Just wanted to share the ridiculousness and the ineffectiveness of the NICS check and the laws that go with it, but not against any criminals.
Enjoy the stupidity fellas.
