You are right, we do agree
I think I've been over sensitized lately by some of the gun store clerks you mentioned. It's frustrating for me to go to a gun store, look at a gun I want and have some clerk ask me the 20 questions to try and determine if it's what I need. When my wife and I purchased her .25 the clerk told her that I didn't know what I was talking about and that wasn't the gun she wanted. The clerk then tried to talk her into a .38 snub or a 9mm, neither of which was what SHE wanted. We just left and bought it somewhere else and she loves her little gun.
