Gun show complaint

My .02 worth. I've been at m-a-n-y gun shows and marvel at the discourtesy of many of the customers that attend and mishandle the wares presented by the dealers. The patience of some dealers is only great. On the other hand, some of the dealers are crude and short tempered, maybe due to some of the customers. I'll not say one word about some of the comments made by 'patrons' to a dealer about a specific item. I don't think I would care to be spoken to in such a manner, no matter the iten being discussed or examined. For myself I'll attend, look, ask questions, ask to see a piece, ask if I made work the action, etc, etc, but only with permission. My thought is, it isn't mine, the item still belongs to a someone else, therefore respect is primary. I don't think I have the patience to be a dealer and then having to put up with some people arrogance, ignorance, disrespect, etc, etc. IMHO.
