What if a pawn shop allows you to test fire a firearm...
If a pawn store allows you to test fire a gun and the firearm was irreparable damaged or destroyed on first usage, for whatever major flaw there was. Would they require you to buy it? Is it possible to leave without paying for it guilt free?
*Purely hypothetical, as of now*

Its not 100% when you check out a firearm for the range but experience in knowing what to look for including reviews on youtube as to ascertain probabilities of firearm failure or injury associated with firearm !

What if pawn shops in PA weren't allowed to pawn guns, but had to obtain an FFL like any other business if they wished to buy and sell (but NOT accept them as collateral)?

Re: What if a pawn shop allows you to test fire a firearm...
If it is a "test fire" then it is on them. Somewhat akin to taking a test drive in a car. If you're driving along at a normal pace and the motor throws a rod are you going to pay for the car?

Re: What if a pawn shop allows you to test fire a firearm...
What pawn shop has a test fire range? Or do you just plan to take it out back and shoot a few rounds in the air?
