i was like that the first or second time i went to get a gun. then i realized that no one fucking cares why you want the gun and if you dont start mumbling about "showing them all". Store employees dont care if you stand there quietly while you are buying your 3rd gun that month.
No because I'm not a worthless aspie. Wear this and people will understand.
Normally the shop I go to has movies playing on the TV and I talk about the movies or ask about the new wall hanger projects they make. Are you so autistic that you can't pigeon talk for 3 minutes?
>"Oh, that's that gun I've been reading about. How is it?"
>"I was thinking about getting an X, what do you think?"
>"How's your day, going?"
Only wheni go in without pants they usually kick me out
My LGS is really chill and fun to be in. The guys who work there are super nice and chill and whenever I go I usually shoot the shit with them and talk about random gun related bullshit.
Last time I went I was just picking up a little bit of ammo and some new earpro and I ended up spending at least half and hour talking about 1911s with the guy there and we joked about the "It's Ma'am" dude but him saying "It's jammed" while holding a 1911. Really great experience
I'm actually more anxious at the gun store that I know the owner at. At big box randos, I'm most likely not even going to talk to the clerk again so I don't give a fuck.
Gun store clerks as a whole are a real swell bunch, always helpful and nice.
do people really wear these.
It's comic ms over an image of a hat. Maybe you should be wearing one.

How the hell are so many of you so fucking socially crippled?

you dont deserve to own a gun then
>local shop has a bunch of fudds in it.
>only keeps fudd guns.
>AR section is the cheapest bare bones AR's possible and they only have two of them.
>everything else is bolt action in rifles
I think you have the ol' 'tism
I simply walk in like I own the place because it's my money that keeps them talking.
>that specific insult

My brother works at a gun store. We laugh about people like you. Don't feel too bad though, because we talk shit and laugh about the large majority of customers. The only ones we actively troll though are fuddy boomers because it's fun to interrupt their screeds about durr ruffles by playing reggae and hip hop on the shop's stereo.
>are you so autistic that you can't pigeon talk for 3 minutes?
...yes?
Once at the zoo a guy with a camera walked past me wearing ear protection and an autism infographic shirt. I only glanced at it quickly, but it said something like "no loud noises".
I have been into two LGS's in my area, and had a good experience with both. The worst that has happened is that some boomer customer teased me for only having full-sized pistols.
>t. have big hands with fat sausage stumps
Fuck. What would happen if I sneezed near him? I have ungodly loud sneezes.
My neighbor sneezes so loud I can hear it from inside my house.
Only had a problem with 2 LGS
1- some dinky hole in the wall LGS / firing range. I ordered a firearm that i purchased online to be delivered to this place as an FFL. Get an email Monday night that my item was delivered. Go Tues afternoon to pick it up. FFL hasnt called , probably busy. Walk in and see a Sharps rifle gun case sitting on the counter. Its got a UPS sticker on it so i assume its mine , but its sitting out on the counter section no one is standing at, right where anyone could—. I notice some random customer open the box. It clearly was opened before , all the packing is thrown about in there. He lifts it up. Man this is neat! The LGS looks down at him walks up and smiles, “yeah neat”. Customer drops my rifle, CLANGGGG. “Damn heavy too”.
“Its allright let me see it. Baaah its fine.” Continues to play with it.
They finally get to me. “Im here to pick up ——“
“Did we CALL you”.
“No- just checkin”
“Let me go check if its in”
He slinks back to the empty area and trys to smoothly swipe the rifle and box. CLANNNNG! he drops it.
He walks back up , forehead beaded with sweat and in his best poker face tells me “uh its in but they havent logged it yet”.
“Can i see it?”
Uh-no its in the back in the safe till we log it.
I ask the manager—same shit—i ask if i can see the box. Its the same box i saw. So i leave. I refuse to accept the FFL transfer and let my seller know why. The LGS calls me with shit fits telling me i need to accept it or theyll sell it.
They finally called the seller. He had already started a new order for me weeks before

OP learn the skill of non verbal communication. Learning to use body language, hand movement, facial expression, and how you tilt your head can make a big difference in how people perceive you. Granted with social anxiety alot of your "mind reading" and what you perceive people to believe, is faulty from the get go and then you tumble it in your head. But yah humans read non verbal more so than verbally whether they know it or not. A great example would be...and don't mean to go Jow Forums here but Hitler. Rather awkward guy, but he practiced and learned early on how to master non verbal, like those photoshoots he did in the 20s. You can even record yourself or practice in the mirror, watch how popular politicians or TV personalities use this skill set. A good one to watch is John Taffer from Bar Rescue. Fake it till you make it

Dude, you realize EVERYONE at a gun store is PRAYING for a chance to tell people what they know, right?
Point to any gun.
Ask, 'what's that part for'?
Let them talk.
Just get the fudds talking, and listen.
>literally me rn
Ain't that the truth
2- bought a Vortex razor scope woth matching precision rings.
Took it to the local “best” gun shop to have it mounted , i didnt have my levels or plumb bob and i was feeling lazy.
Guy tells me, ill mount it but we need you around for eye relief check.
Standard stuff . I tell him ok but level the scope to the action, im gonna add a bubble level. He gives me the most confused look. Then tells me “its leveled to yer eye”.
I should have stopped right here .
But he pretends to go alaong with me and I actually believe he understands.
“You want me to lock tite this?”
“Yes the bottom rings only. these are matched rings so i only want them torched to spec. Heres the sheet and a torque wrench—“
“We got it”
Get eye relief. He comes back. Scope reticule looks off. Looks like humidity or fog in there.
I go to check it but un doing the screws. I cant turn it by hand. This thing is off spec, its even way past what it would be in FOOT pounds and it should be in INCH pounds.
I Ask the guy to take the ring tops off, he calls a kid out whos got this LONG handle ratchet. Kid is breaking the bolts loose like youd break nuts on a car tire.
The fucking scope is CRUSHED.
A 2k scope crushed .
They offer me a 1 free and 1 half off coupon for my next scope mount.
>next mount
Ha . Never came back for gunsmithing
>Normally the shop I go to has movies playing on the TV
West Coast Armory?

Walked into crowded gun store to buy my 1st gun. Fudds, hunters, tacticool guys, girls, etc.
Say, 'CAN I HAVE EVERYONE'S ATTENTION PLEASE!? I'M HERE TO BUY MY 1ST GUN, AND NEED ADVICE!'
Learned immediately how it was important to find what fits my hand, what ammo is cheap = I'll shoot more, and what action is best for me.
Made 3 new friends who knew fun sandpits to shoot at. Get phonecalls to go shooting. Get invited to ranges, turkey shoots, gun clubs.
All from immediately confessing I don't know shit, and asking for help. ALL of us were stupid about guns once, OP. Don't be too proud to ask for help. That's why everybody goes to gun stores.
I don't believe you but
>having a gunsmith mount an optic
fucking kek
>Bought first gun in 1982
Was it the Uzi 9 millimeter or Phase plasma rifle in 40-watt range?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Taurus pt92as. Traded it ages ago for a .45
This is Gladys.
The only time I have trouble striking up a conversation is when there are five people behind the sales counter, maybe two of them are actual employees, and they're already talking about some stupid fudd shit. That's just a retired fudd/cop club that occasionally sells guns to strangers. Every other actual store I've been in is nice.
More of a joke, but amazon.com
I literally look for people like you in any store that sells guns, meander up to you, and start whispering to myself about custard mouthed Arabs because I know you're too awkward to say anything and will be discomfited by it.
hm...
>Not far off from Boomer generation
>Posting his Pony
Checks out lol. Nice looking. I need me a Series 70, I had a Series 80 I traded
Not OP but thanks user.
well, ya got me here.....
Np. You'd be surprised how something small like a slight hand gesture and lifting your eyebrows can ease awkwardness and put the person you're talking to at ease.
>talked about the jews again in the gunshop
>kicked out and banned
One less kiked shop to visit at least, if your going to start talking about niggers and how bad the crime is how can you get mad at me for bringing up the crimes of the jew?
elaborate pls
At a gun store I always get really excited and have to poop.
I get anxious and nervous in gun stores because I respect firearms. The power behind them is very dangerous in anyone's hands. And you never really know what someone is going through so although I am nervous and anxious in a gun store, I still try my best to be friendly and respectful. Also my passion and interest in arms trumps my anxiousness and nervousness so I just try and get used to it as I know I will always be back in the gun stores to learn and purchase firearms related goods.

I get super nervous during the background check for some reason. I’ve never been investigated for anything more than a traffic stop but for some reason I think they are going to deny my purchase for something stupid like masterbating to hentai or something.
>I get super nervous during the background check for some reason
Lol same, When they do mine it goes to a operator too which makes me even more nervous.
I was nervous as fuck during my first background check. I was 18 and very clean but it was the first time jitters I guess.
The guys at my LGS know me by name. It probably helps that I'm a 23 year old manlet with enough rifles to outfit a fireteam.
>EVERYONE
My favorite thing to do on Saturdays when the weather is shitty is go browse my local and just listen to every conversation i can.
I cant remember which one of the stores in my area did this but the guy asked for my fucking id to look at a rifle. This wasnt standard practice because before and after the policy is walk behind the counter and grab what you want to look at, it was just high up on the wall and im short.
>be me
>southern state
>pushing 30
>white guy
>normalish looking
His face when i handed him my cch instead was priceless.
A guy I work with is an ffl so I can just ship guns to his place and pick them up there. It's pretty nice
Son, why are you uncomfortable? In a properlerly led land all wepons are welvcomed. even the ones that spit firewblegh ..... Wait, but them too....
So ALL Weapons are allowed, Because all weapons could be made, The smallest man could make the greaest weapon and then herpblhhhertyhs.
Still , in sane hands ALL should have arms. Regardless of scope or scale.
No gun stores in my area carry decent AKs. They only have Century built shit or IO.
Also I never have a problem talking to people. Grow up. The reason you are this way is because your parents did everything for you as a child and you're still a child in your own mind. Pussy.
my hands are shakyt its a pain in the ass
This i only had annoying experiences at this one LGS thats the biggest one in the area and they basically hire randos who probably only have a slight interest in guns but mainly need a job, and theyre very uninformed and generally shit
>have abyssmal handwriting

Subsidizing education is already why it's so expensive. The government issues zero interest loans that are deferrable and dumb retards still bitch about being poor. Here's an idea, don't go to college retard. The push for everyone to go to college is a real crime because the reality is not everyone needs to be nor is capable of being an academic and we need more trade workers anyway.
I'll add to that and say what a weird meme that it mentions aide to saudi arabia and not the 38 billion we are giving to israel, wow really makes me ponder about whoever made this meme was some socialistic retard but too much a bitch to call out israel.
Jews eroding the connective tissue of society have lead to recent generations being raised in a nightmarish clown world
