Dera Sir, I just came upon this thread (a few years too late). I am actually the woman who was speaking with you in the pawnshop on Roxboro Rd. First of all I would like to apoligize If the situation was confusing or uncomfortable to you in anyway. I have been there 10 years and before that sold firearms in Florida for years. It was never my intention to make you uncomfortable. Actually pawnshops do fall under the same guidelines as banks in NC, so we are considered financial institutions by the State. And yes we do not opt to post a sign on the door simply because of the amount of customers we have who are dealing in firearm transactions. That is exactly why neither I or my manager ever asked you to remove the firearm from the store. If I may explain further, In my recolection of the event even though it was a few years ago: whether unwitingly by you, your firearm was concealed for a few mins. You may not have been aware of it, maybe your shirt fell over it for a short period of time, but that is what caught my attention. Simply talking with you did aleviate our concerns and of course we did not want a valuble customer to be asked to leave so you never were. During that time there had been several robberies in the area involving firearms (again it is Roxboro Rd ,lol) so I noticed the firearm. Even though we sell a large number of firearms, not many people come in shopping with them. Again, please accept my apology if you were made to feel uncomfortable and I hope you are still a customer of ours. My only regret is seeing this thread so late and I hope you see my response. My name is Angela and I ask that you come in and introduce yourself and I will try and make up for it with a very good deal on another firearm! PS We do carry some other firearms in the back that simply attract too much attention on the sales floor. Thank you and again Sorry! :banghead:
