In my area most tattoo shops also perform "piercings". This shop almost performed one of a different nature. Wonder what kind of jewelry they would have installed in the resulting hole if it had hit anyone? Hole would probably be big enough for a bicycle lock.

That's why there is a simple safety maxim - do not handle firearms in public. In fact that is our argument to minmise restrictions on carry - governmental or private rules forcing people to handle, unload, re-load their firearms creates unnecesary risk.

If the owner/agent demand you unload or hand over the firearm, refuse!

If told to leave, Leave!

Safety first, file a complaint later.

A good reason not to volunteer to handle/hand over firearm during a "consensual" police stop too.

It's clear tatoo parlors possess more danger than first assumed, i call for an immediate ban in the name of public safety.
