True story, and one of the stranger conversations I've had in the recent past.
So, I was doing a private sale at Tigard Pawn, my last one for this year. We had finished up and were walking out the door when we spotted Santa on the side of 99W, waving at cars as they drove by and calling out "Merry Christmas". Well, Santa spotted us too, and flagged us down, walking up to us to ask a question.
Ol' Kris Kringle, well he wants a 9mm pistol and asked if we had just bought a gun ourselves. We told him about the private sale, and he started asking about the process to buy a new gun. Seems St. Nick hasn't owned a gun before and was really wanting to get one for protection (probably some angry elves out there). So, me and my buyer educated Father Christmas in a variety of things such as how the background check process works, where to buy, what to expect to pay for a variety of different guns, etc.
We concluded our discussion after about 5 minutes, at which time Perre Noel went back to greeting the fine folks driving through Tigard.
Anyway, just an odd conversation with the man in the red suit, and certainly the strangest conversation about guns I've had.
