Had another one, a guy I knew, and knew to be somewhat of a tool. Handed his .25-06 over the counter to me. Force of habit, I cleared it. It was loaded. I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him halfway over the counter and whispered in his ear" Tod, I should shove this up your ass and unload it..."
Call me Mr. Tact again.
Trust me if you are in the business you learn quickly to clear every weapon you touch, every time you touch it. Period.
