When i first saw that SR were selling BB Guns is was quite surprised. Firstly let me just say that i`m no prude and i`m quite sure that there are alot of responsible people out there who have purchased one of these guns, but i can`t help feeling about the possibility of that odd "one person" who slips through the net, i mean, if i was to phone through an order today for any of the BB Guns, would the operator ask to check my age? and if so, what kind of check can be made? Also, who at SR actually monitors these sales? These guns require no licence to hold and could fall into the hands of a minor.
Lets say a gun is sold to a club member, last i checked you never have to put your date-of-birth on the membership form, so who`s to say it cannot be sold to someone under 18 when purchased via phone or internet?
Perhaps in light of the possible injuries that can be caused even by a BB Gun, anyone under 18 purchasing such a gun does so knowing full well their real age, and without the required back-up from SR to check this, i fear that in the eyes of the law the retailer would be responsible.
Maybe someone from SPECIAL RESERVE would like to comment on their policy and how they police it, as being an ex-staff member i`ve a certain perspective on the way phone calls are taken in the call-room and the training of the staff there under Yvonne, so it would be quite insightful.
Maybe even Tony might like to comment too...?
Anyway, what do any of you Chat Forum people think about the sales of BB Guns by SPECIAL RESERVE....?
