Am I too uptight about this?

Unacceptable. People who are blatantly blase about firearm safety like that should not be around firearms. I probably would've calmly confronted him that it was inappropriate and unsafe.

Not gonna read every reply but by not outing the store is putting future customers at risk of negligence.

Took some time today to visit a few gun stores and check inventory for kicks.

Went into a local, non-chain gun shop and watched a counter person do something I found pretty stupid and walked out without talking to them or saying anything. Probably the most stupid thing I have ever seen in a gun shop.

The customer in front of me brought in what looked like a Beretta 92 9mm (or clone), could not tell. He wanted to sell or trade it, and told the counter person it was loaded. The customer was holding the gun in a non-threatening manner, kind of like he did not know a lot about guns.

The young man (early 20's) behind the counter took the gun from him and started racking the live rounds from the gun into the air and catching each one (showing off). No, he did not remove the magazine and launch just the chambered one, he wanted to try and catch the entire magazine full as he extracted them into the air over his head, lining them up on the counter after he caught each one in sort of a victory celebration. All the while pointing the gun down the length of the counter where the other employees were working and ambivalent to his behavior. He was smart enough to index his finger, however I could not tell if the pistol had been placed on safe or not (not that I would find that an acceptable excuse for the behavior).

I turned and walked out disgusted at his behavior and the fact that the other adults working in the store said nothing.

Probably should have stayed and chewed his ass out in front of everyone, instead just left............

I don't think I am a prude when it comes to this stuff, but damn!

Someone should have taken pictures or video and sent the film to the local newspaper!
