    They sure can, I just don’t think they would, unless the person was acting oddly. They probably were though, because I assume that’s their shtick, but just dressing up in cosplay but otherwise acting normally probably wouldn’t bother most people behind the counter.

      i respectfully disagree, I own a fair amount of firearms and I don’t think any of the shops I go in would sell to someone dressed like that. They don’t want the publicity of having sold someone a firearm who was obviously not in their right mind that went and did something awful and i think that well qualifies. They are always very professional and don’t tolerate jokes or funny business around the weapons.

      I’m talking a concealed carry class saturday at a shop and i’ll ask because i’m curious now!

        obviously not in their right min

        That really depends on context. If the person was otherwise behaving normally and had a reasonable explanation for how they’re dressed (i.e. they’re coming back from comicon or something), I don’t see why not, as long as the background checks out.

        Then again, if they come in filming the place and whatnot, then yeah, I wouldn’t touch that with a 10’ pole. That’s a lot more sus than some makeup.
