Gun Handling

[ppine]

I was in the Cabela's store near Reno this week and looked at some great guns Weatherbys, Winchester model 1886, Cooper of Montana, s&w model 29, etc. I was struck by the respect of the employees and how well they handled guns. They always opened the action, pointed the muzzle in a safe direction, and offered me a place to pickup the wood or grips. I was amazed how different that experience was from my local gun stores, that are very lazy with their gun handling. What has been your experience lately? Everyone used to handle guns properly, now they don't.

I have found the same gun respect at Sportsmans Warehouse when I have been "drooling". I've yet to see one of their people showboating. They always have a wipe cloth in their hand and wipe my smudges off the second I hand it back to them as well as recheck the chamber.
