A Field Guide to Gun Shop CUSTOMERS: Beware of the Lurking Know it all

About this video

Colion describes various customer personality types commonly encountered in gun stores, drawing from his observations and experience. He walks through archetypes like the talker, the safety hazard, the delusional seller, the zombie apocalypse believer, and several others, explaining how each behaves and interacts with staff and other customers. Colion presents these profiles with humor while pointing out behaviors that range from annoying to unsafe.

Key takeaways

• Colion identifies the ‘safety hazard’ customer as someone who violates all firearm safety rules simultaneously—sweeping others with the muzzle, poor trigger discipline, and dismissing concerns by saying the gun isn’t loaded.
• According to Colion, the ‘cheapskate’ customer believes all guns are functionally identical and judges those who invest in quality firearms, failing to understand differences in reliability and craftsmanship.
• Colion describes the ’lurking know-it-all’ as a customer who hovers nearby waiting for an opportunity to insert unsolicited opinions and corrections to make themselves feel knowledgeable.
