Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common dangerous behaviors to watch out for at a gun store?

The most common dangerous behaviors include flagging people with the muzzle of a firearm and poor trigger discipline. These actions, even if accidental, can create unsafe situations for both customers and employees in the store environment.
