A Christmas (Shopping) Tale
I was at the mall today and while my wife shopped I went for my usual cup of coffee. As I passed a booth a young blonde woman stopped me. The following is the conversation that took place.
Me: Yes?
Salesgirl: Are you shopping for your wife?
Me: No, I’m going to get some coffee.
Salesgirl: Can I interest you in something for your wife?
Me: No, I already have her presents.
Salesgirl: If I may ask, what did you buy her?
Me: I got her some music she had been wanting and a gun.
Salesgirl: A what!?
Me: A gun.
(At this point the salesgirls eyes got so big her eyeballs could have fallen out of her head)
Salesgirl: Why would you buy her a present like that?
Me: Let me ask you a question? What are you trying to sell me?
Salesgirl: Makeup and perfume.
Me: Okay, if someone breaks into your home and wants to rape you, are you going to spray perfume in their eyes, or throw the bottle at them? Or would you rather have a gun and shoot the son of a bitch?
Salesgirl: That’s kind of drastic isn’t it?
Me: No, that’s called being prepared. Have a nice day. (I then continued towards the coffee shop with a contented look on my face)

You do realize that is a REAL UZI that lovely lady is holding. Not a semi auto, but an honest to goodness Machine Gun.
[...] What Is It With This Ridiculous Fear of Guns? Posted by: The Publisher on: December 17 2011 • Categorized in: Neal Ross This past weekend I had an encounter at my local mall with a particularly naïve young salesgirl over my decision to buy my wife a firearm for Christmas. I won’t go into detail the conversation that took place, but if you want to read it you can do so at: http://www.federalobserver.com/2011/12/11/a-christmas-shopping-tale/#comments [...]
You just made my day!! I have had a back spasm all day long and felt horrible but when I read this I broke out laughing and thought. YEAH! Thats what I THOUGHT!
Already taken care of Granny.
Neal,
You now need to get your wife some stocking stuffers – ammo….
Damn Jeff, were can I find me one of them?
Neal, some day I will have to introduce you one of my “leetle Friends.” That would be my FN-G1 .308 Assault Rifle. when I shoot it at the range, it really impresses the folks.
OMG….I thought he was talking about the girl. LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!
