Was it ethical to scoop the dealer...?

Bob, I question if this really would have been any different than standing at the front door of a gunshow. Sounds like the kid did not have the authority to sell at the time anyway. I have to admit I would have done the same thing if I had seen a Luger. Any other pistol I would pass as I was on the dealers turf but I just can't pass up the opportunity on a Luger. He who gets there the fastest with the money...

Interesting story last week. I go to a yard sale and a guy is holding a Colt peacemaker...I ask if it is for sale and he says yes, $50.00. I say are you going to buy it? The guy says I don't think so...I ran over to the owner and shoved $50.00 in his hands and went back and took my pistol. The fellow seemed somewhat surprised but what the hell....There are the quick and the less fortunate. Jerry Burney
