Whats the craziest thing you have ever heard some one about a gun?

Once when I worked in a gun store we had a guy bring in a 338 um mid season and wanted to trade it for a 375 um which we didn't have. Just making conversation I ask where he was going hunting. He replied "just outside of town". I guess my reaction insulted him because next words were" my guns not big enough, I've lost 3 deer this year". We have medium sized white tail here in North texas

He: I have a problem.
Me: How can I help?
He: I can't get the magazine out of my pistol.
Me: See that button?
He: Yeah.
Me: Push it.
** clatter ** Problem solved.

This chap went through the NY State-approved pistol training course, etc., etc.
 
Heard a story somewhere. A customer came into a gun store and asked to see a pistol. It was handed to him and he pointed it at the salesman's head and pulled the trigger. He was immediately physically escorted out the door. Yes, they are out there!
 
Another good one I wish I had been part of but had to hear about it the next was a guy that brought his gun in a week after opening day. Said something was wrong with his gun, shot at several deer and hasn't hit one. When ask how he was sighted in he replied " you did that when I bought the gun". Never shot or sighted the gun before going hunting. They had to explain what bore sighted was.
 
I put a new Weaver scope on my 5.56 AR-15. Used a laser bore sighter out the window to the side of my garage just to get it in the ballpark. The windage was set close to the reticle vertical line and the elevation guessing at about 2-3 inches low on the garage. Figured it should be close enough to get on a large piece of posterboard at 100 yards and then finish adjusting. I fired the 1st shot and didn't see any holes. Decided to walk up and look at the target before firing another. This is the target dot. I never had to reset the scope and this will probably never happen again in a million years.

An old guy walks into my friends gun shop in Albuquerque, finds a Colt New Service revolver he really likes, makes the deal. Does the paper work, telling the checkout clerk and anyone who would listen just how much he likes the Colt, and has been looking a long time for one.

Clerk gets the paper work, and as she is ringing up the sale, she finds out the old man already owns the pistol, he had it in the shop on consignment for a while. He says, I liked it then, I like it now, take it off consignment. I'm taking it home.

An attractive female agent came in early and asked if it was ok for her to load up her magazines. ... When I informed her that she just loaded all her magazines backwards, she begged me not to tell her range officer.

I wish I could find it now, but does anyone recall the infamous illustration in (I think) Time Magazine showing how the "bullet" got from Hinckley's gun into President Reagan's body. It helpfully showed the trajectory of the entire loaded round flying through space. Little wonder most people ask "How many bullets in your gun?"

I think I'm already having moments like this:(
 
I walked in a local gun shop today and was looking at rifles, the guy behind the counter hands me a Browning Medallion XBolt in 338Win mag. He says "this is what you need to reach out there, it will knock an elk off its feet at 500yards". I handed it back and told him to have a nice day. I guess the funniest part to me is I live in Va and we have no elk lol.

Oh, but you certainly do!

From you-know-who:

The Rocky Mountain elk subspecies has been reintroduced by hunter-conservation organizations in the Appalachian region of the eastern U.S., where the now extinct eastern elk once lived. After elk were reintroduced in the states of Kentucky, North Carolina and Tennessee, they migrated into the neighboring states of Virginia and West Virginia, and have established permanent populations there.
