i was in my LGS a few months ago, and watched the owner turn away two guys that reeked of marijuana. he wasn't going to risk it seeing as to how they'd probably lie about the "illegal drugs" question on the 4473 form.


eta: they were about to fill out the form for a Glock.

Here’s another viewpoint….

At what point does one’s right to deny service trump someone’s right to a firearm or vice versa? The store owner “has the right to serve whoever he wants”. Same scenario when the Christian bakers refused to make a gay cake.

If I were the store owner, I’d offer to transfer it to another store in town based on the customer’s preference. I’d then proceed to call that store after they’d left and let them know why I didn’t do the transfer.

Didn't read all the pages, but here's how I see the issue; nobody has a right to a service or a product. Rights don't impose obligations on others.

You do have a right to be armed. That does not mean you have a right to force someone to sell you a weapon. It would be like being able to force a tv station to sell you ad time for a commercial about supporting pedophilia. Sure, you have the freedom of speech to say something crazy like that, but the tv station isn't obligated to sell it to you, and they shouldn't be.

Last I checked, the gun store owner isn’t the government. He is free to determine who he engages in business with.



This.

People keep forgetting the amendments are there to protect you from the Government.

Privately owned business should still be able to refuse service to someone.

Yes. It says he ain't getting his hands on the goddamned gun because of the background check. So like I said, the implication that he got a gun without a background check is total bullshite gaslighting.


No. It literally explained the process.

You buy gun online, post for it, have it shipped to FFL dealer…No background check

Go to dealer to pickup said gun…background check.

Strange how so many come here to defend an arbitrary infringement on a constitutional right with zero due process

Its a private transaction.

The man isn't entitled to the labor of others. I disagree with refusing to transfer, but its no different than restaurants refusing to accept MAGA patrons.

Strange how you think you're entitled to the labor of a privately-owned company.

But you do.

You're in favor of laws that would restrict firearm ownership of those that are primality of one particular political preference, while at the same time not in favor of enforcing laws affecting people of another political preference.

and for what it's worth the FFL license holder has aright and a duty to refuse to sell a firearm to someone who he reasonably believes could be a threat to themselves or others.

2A supporters and Anti-A2 supporters won't like that in this case though.

But it doesn't change that fact.

All I know is that you have an absolute intolerance of the store owners beliefs that he has a responsibility to withhold the weapon.
I believe he can withhold the weapon, unless it is legally disallowed in his state. Just because something is legal, doesn't make it right.

I just think his reasoning is wrong and unamerican. If it comes against Oregon law, I hope he gets sued.

Denying a purchase due to politics, makes me scoff when the GOP complains about the same.

Again. . .Republicans like what commies do, just not who they do it to.

This helps confirm that.

And also that you like to quote poets you clearly don't understand.

2nd amendment doesn’t apply here. Government didn’t infringe. It was a private citizen who decided not to be a part of the transaction.

The first amendment doesn’t give you the right to badmouth an employer or other private citizen and the 2nd amendment doesn’t force a business to sell to anyone. Same as you cannot sue a burglar under the 4th amendment.
