    Ultimately the decision lies on the person behind the counter.

    Just because you can pass a background check doesn't mean you will be sold a firearm.

    I've worked with a few FFL dealers over the last ten years and some are more strict than others.

    I tell one person almost every shift to leave the premise and not come back. Heck, I even turned down a long time friend last week.

    Yea but even then.....

    I walk in....

    "Hello Numbere - how's it going man. I'm looking for a glock .40. It was comfortable for me at the range and it has enough power for home defense for myself and my wife. My father is a huge enthusiast and loves going to the range. I can't wait to start going with him again. "

    I fill out your paper work..... My background check comes back clean. Everything looks good.

    If I give you no indication that I'm nuts in the head why wouldn't you sell me a gun?

    Now I have my glock and I'm enjoying the range with my father for 6 months and the a black male shoots my sister.

    Now a switch is flipped and I go crazy.....

    How can that be prevented? I think these anti-gun people are just delusional

    I understand your point and don't mean to be argumentative. No one can predict another's future.

    There are some signs you pick up on after dealing with enough people. Kind of like when you read a post in the Q&A section and know its a 20 year old kid who weighs 150 pounds even before the stats get listed.

    You're not at all! I completely agree with FFL dealers being selective. I wish more held a higher standard.

    There's just no way of stopping the issue. One way or another..... Guns are and will always be accessible
