I'm refering to how many people in the forum answered the question.
To clarify the question, Does everyone check the weapon each time it changes hands, whether in a store, with friends, when its unpacked from the factory, or anywhere else?
Example-
Salesperson checked the weapon, customer may have checked the weapon, salesperson gets weapon back from customer. Does the salesperson immediately check the weapon again?
Reason I ask.. When I was about 12 yrs old, I was in a store where the salesperson checked the weapon, customer may have checked it, handed it back to the salesperson, within seconds the customer asked to see it again, salesperson didn't check the weapon since he just checked. Customer slipped a cartridge in the firearm the first time he had it. Customer held up the store using the weapon. Salesman didn't believe the weapon was loaded. Customer fired a round from the same weapon. Salesperson fortunately wasn't fatally wounded. Only the customer knew the firearm only had one cartridge in it until he was confronted by LEO's outside the door who were summoned by a silent alarm. This was back when police responded and appeared within minutes and only carried .38 S&W's..
At 12 yrs old it was a lesson of a lifetime for me, one I'll never forget.
Since then I feel some sales people I've come across had a look of disgust, thinking I didn't trust them when they checked it before handing it to me and I checked it again. One salesperson even confronted me asking if I didn't trust him. My reply was no! I left the store and have never been back. It never happened at RDA. The shooting and attempted robbery happened in my families old business. The confrontation with the salespersons trust happen in a mass merchant.
