    as long as it’s not a protected class businesses can refuse service for arbitrary reasons. I don’t think many gun stores would sell to someone dressed like a weird clown because it looks like they may be having a mental health episode. that said i agree with you he probably just took the picture and didn’t even try.

      They sure can, I just don’t think they would, unless the person was acting oddly. They probably were though, because I assume that’s their shtick, but just dressing up in cosplay but otherwise acting normally probably wouldn’t bother most people behind the counter.

        i respectfully disagree, I own a fair amount of firearms and I don’t think any of the shops I go in would sell to someone dressed like that. They don’t want the publicity of having sold someone a firearm who was obviously not in their right mind that went and did something awful and i think that well qualifies. They are always very professional and don’t tolerate jokes or funny business around the weapons.

        I’m talking a concealed carry class saturday at a shop and i’ll ask because i’m curious now!
