[When the feed first starts anybody watching would be sure they were looking into a local armory. Guns of various sizes and calibers, single and double action, short and long range, stretch across the walls and rest in very nicely put together glass display counters for people to view the various options. If you are an avid shooter or gun ( Read more... )

I hope to visit after a paycheck or three. How do background checks work for Newcomers, and what are the local carry laws?

Come by whenever you'd like, even before then, to take a look at what I've got in stock.

[Well now, here's a lady who knows what she's talking about. Elena's interest in piqued.]

The city itself is one of the more lax I've ever seen. Since the history of the Newcomers prior to their arrival to the city cannot be tracked, I can only go off what is in their records. So if a Newcomer has been arrested, that will show up. Other than that, they're free to obtain whatever they'd like.

As for the carry laws, again, the port seems very lax. You can conceal carry, with a permit, and open carry is frowned upon. Firearms are prohibited in all government and federally owned and operated buildings, such as schools, the DMV, and local courthouse. Firearms are also prohibited in local churches and mosques, unless the leader of that facility deems otherwise.

Can property owners forbid carry? Do government buildings have facilities to store guns carried by visitors?

As to visiting, would now be good? My job starts Monday, and it's mornings and afternoons, so visiting at a time you're still open will become more difficult.

Also, where are you?

As long as there is a visible sign at the beginning of the property that declares that the owner forbids carry, they can. As for the government buildings, I don't know. I leave that up to the city to manage.

[She's nodding with a grin.]

Of course, I'll be here all day today. I'm located in Sector 8. I'll send you the coordinates to you in a text.

Before I carry I'll have to look up the details of "visible sign" and "beginning of the property" but that's quite a bit premature since I need to save the funds for a gun.

I'll see you soon, then.

Whatever you learn, would you let me know as well? I'm sure others would be interested in knowing what the details and rulings are.

Wonderful. I'll see you soon.

Certainly. No sense in leaving people in ignorance. I'll see you soon.

Emma arrives as quickly as she can on public transit, wearing tight-fitted white denim jeans and a very light-toned beige shirt. "Hello?"

She looks around the shop with an appraising eye, examining both the guns (primarily the handguns) and the business in general.

Despite the grungy, sooty brick exterior - much in thanks to the local manufacturing plants within the area - the interior is pristine, bright, and very well organized. Guns are laid out with almost an OCD level of precision, tags with information regarding the maker, caliber, and price turned upward for the curious shopper to glance at.

Elena is at the counter furthest from the door, looking up into the barrel of a broken down 1911 in what looked like a cleaning ritual, dressed in a pair of light khaki pants and white button up blouse. A light brown shoulder is open and visible, the Glock resting in its holster beneath her left arm. At the sound of the door opening she's lowering the barrel onto the small mat where the rest of the gun lay in pieces, slick with oil.

"Hello. Welcome to Bullseye Guns and Ammo. Can I help you today?

"Hello," Emma says. "We spoke over the network - my name is Emma Frost."

She looks over the price tags for several .45 handguns, then wanders around to see what there is in the way of holsters and ammunition.

[OOC, Emma was a businesswoman, though she never did the retail level personally. A gun was always a hold-out weapon for her - she had them when she could, she used them when appropriate, but most of the time, telepathy did the job, and most of what it didn't took bigger weapons than were practical to carry. So she's evaluating the business as well as the guns, and is better at judging the former than the latter - though she's not *bad* at the latter.]

"Oh yes, your voice sounds familiar. I'm Elena. Welcome to my shop."

Picking up a nearby hand towel, Elena worked the oil and grit from her hands and fingers, watching her first guest out of the corner of her eye.

"If something strikes your fancy, just let me know and I'll pull it out for you.

[ooc: Thanks!!]

"Thank you. I'm impressed by your selection."

Emma looks over the handguns and examines three basic .45 semiautomatic, all with a slightly smaller grips. She especially looks at the price tags, knowing she can't afford it now but wanting to see how much she'd have to save. "I think I'll wait to hold anything until I could afford one -- I wouldn't want to find the perfect gun and then have it get away. Holsters?"

"My pleasure and thank you. Take your time looking things over, I've got plenty to look at."

It takes Elena several moments to work the oil out of her skin, though the smell and faint discoloration remains. She would later have to work the dirt and grim from the cracks of her knuckles later. Ambling over towards the semiautos, Elena gives a little smile. "I understand completely. I've only got a few in stock right now on the south wall, I'm hoping to get more leather holsters in later this month."

Emma looks over the holsters, considering both concealment and draw speed. In spite of her normal love of fashion she pays no attention to appearance: it's not meant to be seen.

Remembering all her past grievances she had with other gun shops, Elena keeps a comfortable distance from her guest, giving her the opportunity to take in everything Elena had brought together in her shop. An attentive eye was kept, just in case there was any sign of interest or question.

"Just so you know, I'm trying to find a vendor who can make more custom holsters. No two people are the same size and shape, so sometimes its difficult to get the right fit with the generic ones."

Re: Action frosty_mind October 4 2011, 12:57:54 UTC
Emma laughed softly. "At home there were times I needed holsters customized for specific outfits." She smiled slightly. "The outfits didn't conceal much, so the holsters needed to go where they did.... Just because I didn't feel like wearing many clothes didn't mean I wanted not to wear a weapon" That doesn't seem to be the sort of holster she's searching for at the moment, however - she's currently weighing the merits of a shoulder holster and a waist one.
