I witnessed two gun shops today dry fire springers into the carpet

I told them NOT to do it before they did it and they 'told me' it was perfectly fine if pushed into the carpet and modern springs can not be de-cocked

As soon as they did that, I wished them good day and got the hell out of the shop!

If they can't treat their stock with care, and have no idea how to de-cock a springer, why are they in the spring gun market? So may good guns must get trashed before we buy them, really sad.
