New Beretta owner story
My dad recently gave me his Beretta. He took it out once, maybe twice, in the decade he owned it. So I thought it would be a good idea to get it checked out before taking it to a range after sitting for so long. So yesterday took it to get it checked out and the guy was looking at and was saying how it seemed like it was in fantastic shape and I should be completely fine to use it. Then he flipped the safety off and the hammer struck and all of a sudden the color leaves his body and he puts its down saying that it’s not safe to use and recommended a local shop with a gunsmith to get it looked at since that range/store didn’t have one. And admittedly I’m not the most experienced with guns so I took this pretty serious. Luckily the other shop was open so I went right over and explained what happened. Immediately everyone working in the shop starts cracking up. This is how I learned what a decocker was.
Thought you all would get a laugh out of this interaction
