2.) sure as hell does. Same as any FFL whether it’s a pawn & gun, goose mountain, or billy bob’s good ol’ boy guns & ammo. And any FFL that refuses service to qualified buyers based on music and dress is not only costing himself sales, he’s also doing harm to the cause. I may hate rap and droopy drawers but a lot of young’uns don’t, and they’re not all bangers; excluding them from the gunnie community just widens the gap of communication and maybe sends them to the street where they probably will end up with a heated heater, creating an inadvertent criminal and stirring unnecessary resentment.
So I guess every pawn & gun store should have a bonafide with street cred on staff like the doofus that wrote that crap, to weed out the bad bloods without benefit of a 4473 and NICS? Oh, wait, he said he’s actually legit with a clean history, not like all those *other* thugs.
What a pile. And pretty shallow of you to swallow it and pass it on without considering the implications to legitimate businesses and the inclusiveness of the 2A culture.
Are you under the impression Uncle was saying we shouldn’t do background checks in a pawn shop? I guess I’m completely missing the point of your little rant.

MattW, maybe go ahead and actually read the linked article and Unc’s little synopsis and get back to me?
