Well last night I wasny a jackass but my lounge owner was and won't ever be going back there. Meesh, showed up and had my uncle join for a scotch and a CC. He just recently got a handgun and wanted to see what mine looked like. Went and talked to the owner in private and said "Hey, my uncle would like to see my handgun privately. Would it be ok if I emptied it and locked it then showed him or would that make you feel uncomfortable." (FYI, I was stone sober, asked privately and didn't even have it on my person) He freaked out and said no and I thought that was it. He came back an hour later with colorado law printed out and started yelling at the top of his lungs dropping F Bombs left and right calling me stupid and dangerous and that I was trying to be a young posturing *** and endangering everyone else blah blah blah. He said before I ever step foot in his shop again I better become a lot smarter and learn to read some "F'ing" laws, all the while he has his gun on his hip right in my face with my Incle freaked out beside me. I had told him earlier that I wanted to take his CCW class (he teaches one) this coming year, he said you are never allowed to take my class you are dangerous. I sat there the entire time (15 min yelling match of him in my face) and I sit there and listen and try to act like I'm trying to learn. At the end I stand up to be the bigger man and apologize and thank him for the knowledge and shake his hand. He freaks out jumps back and says he won't ever shake my hand and insults me. Then goes on to say that the chief of police will be there in 30 min and I better be gone or I will be arrested. All for being courteous and asking if my uncle can see an unloaded locked pistol that cannot be used as a weapon and was hidden the entire damn time and never once seen by anyone.... To put it mildly I will never step foot there again. WTF?!?!?

what a turd. that's just stupid. if it was your first time in the shop, i'd see maybe why he'd be upset and so concerned. but man idk, sounds like you had a good rapport going with him, weird.

I'd been going there for years, spent lots of money and given him some really rare special cigars as gifts. Always was kind and respect uhl shared anything including drinks and smokes I had with everyone in his place and always asked how the family was doing and helped out several times too. No friggin' clue. The worst of it was when I was cleaning up I went to the rear lounge area and hear him making fun of me and insulting me to all the people back there. I put the glasses away without acknowledging and left saying over my shoulder "have a great night and thanks for the education sir"....
