I would look at it different if the guy selling the rifle had walked OUT of the store.
Regaurdless, I would ask the buyer not to do business at my store anymore but calling him a thief is stretching it a little. Bad form on the buyer parts, YES. I wouldnt call him dead meat on a public forum for damn sure. The LGS is in business to make money, what they would have offered the guy some word consider that Thievery . The guy may have been selling to but crack or may have been put out of work by the Rona. Maybe he needed every pennie he could get.
The LGS sounds like he more into money than he is the 2a. I wouldn’t do business with them because of his ridiculous outburst.
Buyer should have had the Decency to make the transaction off the LGS Premises
Except the free market in this case allowed for *illegal activity to take place on his property, assuming the “TN tags” comment is true.Suck it up buttercup. Free market at work.

Just because someone is driving a car with out of state tags doesn't mean that they're out of state. It could be a rental car, belong to a relative, or even be registered to a non primary address. Regardless, even if it was an "illegal" sale it is on the buyer and probably this side of impossible to catch anyway (not that I think the "law" against it is valid).Except the free market in this case allowed for illegal activity to take place on his property, assuming the “TN tags” comment is true.

It really doesn't even matter if the offer was made and accepted. did money change hands?Awful pretentious of the store owner thinking the seller would accept his (lowball) offer... I've never thought any gun store offer was good and I've had and heard a lot of them.
Did the seller talk to the store owner beforehand and a "buy" offer or deal made?
If not, then too bad.

that's what matters. and even then, it's not the kid's fault.
4. If you agree to a price, time and location, your word is your bond. Almost without exception, people acting in good faith are able to reach accommodation and achieve a positive transaction even if someone's car breaks down. HOWEVER - staff will not hesitate to take punitive measures (including temporary or permanent site ban) for not honoring your word. If you don't know what it means to keep your word, do not post in the classifieds.
Penhooking is frowned upon.
Is it stealing, I don’t think you can call it that.
And he never actually made it into the store, now that would have been bad for sure.
Leaving the store that gun is fair game.
Still, you always give the owner first refusal.What if the pen hooker had been an employee of the gunstore?
Just telling you from experience working in a gun shop, its bad juju.Awful pretentious of the store owner thinking the seller would accept his (lowball) offer... I've never thought any gun store offer was good and I've had and heard a lot of them.

Every LGS owner gets upset when someone stops people heading into the store to sell a gun, and buys that gun in the parking lot. You are supposed to wait until the store owner fails to make a deal, and talk to the fellow after he leaves. Even then, you shouldn't do it in the store parking lot. Goto WalMart, sheesh!
But tattling to the BATFU... tha's bad juju too... jus' sayin!
Yup they delisted it after the backlash started. Clearly this wasn’t worth the $40 profit he thought he was cheated out of.Just went to check on the store Facebook page, it appears to be gone.
