guns in the grocery store

alinwa

So we've a small grocery/general store just down the way where I've often checked gun weights in the past. A 17lb Light gun is just kindofa' weird weight, too small for the bathroom scale, too big for the postal scale so I used this guy's meat and produce scales...

Was just in there a half hour ago getting my 10 yr-old his hunting tags and found new owners. Indians. "Sikhs" not "Native Americans"..... the soft-spoken people with huge beards and teeny wives in brilliantly colored dresses type Indians.

"Well" I thunk to myself..... "THIS might change the dynamic!" :)

So I went back to the meat dept and discreetly asked one of the guys what they thought. The kid was like 16 or 10yrs old and he's like "WHAT? You mean bring in a real weapon? In The STORE??" I said "like, yeahhh, I like useta' weight my guns here..."

He's like "KEWL!" .... "yeahh!"...."Like, let me go ask!" (I though "maybe he speaks sikhhh...?")

So he asks....

A few minutes later this huge beard-n-turban with a guy under it slides over and asks "so teell me, v'WHAT iss it chu' vant to do?? Stick a gun in my meat scales???"

"yeahh"

"OOOHHhhhhh, NO PROBLEM!! You... ANY TIME!!"

"Make it eassy! Use the big vegetable scale right out in front!"

"Here! Let me tell my wife OK!" "Hello, this is my wife Serah and she will now know that when you walk in with guns NO PROBLEM! She hold the door for you!! :D "

"You just bring in your guns any time!"

And from then on things went rawther smoothly from good to better...... I assured them that I was very discreet, potty-trained and very clean and would have very nice cases and boxes and........he interrupted........ "Ohh NO!! NO PROBLEM!! Just pring da' guns right in!! NO NEED to cover them up!!"

So anyways. It doesn't look as though I've lost my secret access to certified scales :)

I wonder wat kind of Gun Laws those Indians are use to?
 
India[edit]
Guns in India are strictly regulated by law. The Arms Act, 1959 and the Arms Rules 1962 prohibit the sale, manufacture, possession, acquisition, import, export, and transport of firearms and ammunition unless under a license, which is difficult to obtain. The Indian Government has a monopoly over the production and sale of firearms, with the exception of some breech-loading smooth-bore shotguns, of which a limited number may be produced and imported.[39] The Arms Act classifies firearms into two categories: Prohibited Bore (PB) and Non-Prohibited Bore (NPB), where all semi-automatic and fully automatic firearms fall under the Prohibited Bore category. The Arms Act of 1962 added to the PB category any firearm which can chamber and fire ammunition of the caliber .303, 7.62 mm, .410, .380, .455, .45 rimless, or 9 mm. Smooth-bore guns having barrels shorter than 20 in (510 mm) are also specified as PB guns

If it was ME, I'd be taking that man with me to the range!:cool::D

Center Fire ONLY. NO BLACK POWDER flinters!!
Wouldn't want to catch his beard on fire.:eek:
But, back in the earlier days, the East Indians DID have some beautiful front stuffers.:cool: Wouldn't mind having one as a wall hanger. How cool would that be? :D
