Chapter 358 The Temptation of a Gun License

The father and daughter arrived at the door of the outdoor equipment store. Ju An parked the car, took the girl out of the car, closed the door and led the girl into the store.

As soon as he entered the store, Nick, a clerk in his 30s with a beard, came up and said to Ju An and Nini: "I need something today, and there is no special new product here, Ann." .Ju An is a regular customer here. Basically, as long as he is at home, he will come to see it once or twice a month. If there is a new stock, the manager of the gun shop will also call Ju An. Almost all of them can be called by name.

Nini, whose little hand was caught by Ju An, said to the clerk, "Dad, take me to see if there is any more beautiful recommendation."

Hearing Nini's words, the clerk squatted down with a smile, looked at Nini and said, "Hi! sweety! So what do you want? Are there any good ones?"Of course, children of this age cannot buy guns. Generally speaking, they are registered in the name of their parents. Many western cowboys are like this. Otherwise, the cowboys will play with guns when they are very young. The shop assistants here also know it. .

Ju An smiled and said to the clerk: "Nick, take us to see those with less recoil and a more beautiful color. If you want a sniper rifle, it's best not to bring a large magazine."

Nick smiled and said to Nini: "Okay, sweety! Let's go see if you like anything".After saying that, she motioned for Ju An to follow her. Ju An held Nini's hand, and the little girl jumped up and followed behind the clerk with her father's hand.

After walking a few steps, Nick took the two to a large counter, with colorful guns hanging inside a layer of glass. Nick pointed to the guns inside and said, "These are all sniper rifles used by ladies, with brighter colors. And through the special design, the recoil is much smaller, and it can be used by children, but if such a child wants to choose the most suitable one, it must be customized.”

Ju An listened to Nick's words and nodded: "buy one first, if my daughter likes to play, I will make a custom one for her, maybe she will be interested in two or three days."Then he smiled at Nick.

Nick nodded and said to Nini, "sweety, see which one you like better, I'll take it out for you."

After listening to the clerk's words, Nini carefully selected them through the glass window. After watching for a while, she pointed at one of the pink sniper rifles and said to the clerk, "This! Thank you."

"Ok!" Nick took out the key from his waist, opened the window door, took out the pink sniper rifle, and handed it to Nini, who happily took the gun and hugged it with both hands. He touched the red body of the gun.

"This is a specially customized ladies version of AWP made by the British Precision Instrument Company. In addition to the color, in order to control the recoil range and accuracy, it is slightly smaller than the military version, which is more suitable for petite ladies. This gun has arrived in the store for a while. It's been more than a year, and no one likes it, if you buy it, I will give you a [-]% discount, the highest discount I can give," Nick said to Ju An with a smile.

Ju An, who was discounted, didn't care much about the more than 100 dollars. He nodded to Nick and said to Nini, "How is it? Do you like it?".

"Yeah! Hmm," the little girl said hurriedly, nodding her head.

After listening to it, Ju An said to Nick: "Help us get a few bullets, yes, the smallest clip can put a few bullets."

"The smallest is a five-bullet clip, there's nothing smaller," Nick said to Ju An with a smile.

Ju An listened and scratched his head: "Then the magazine for five bullets."

"Okay, I'll prepare it for you, and I can also give you a bracket," Nick said to Ju An with a smile.

Ju An nodded and replied with a smile, "Thank you."

Taking a small box of bullets, Nick took Ju An to the shooting range in the back, helped Nini to find a stool to stand on, and then helped to install the gun's bracket, and adjusted the scope. I tried a shot, and then said to Nini: "sweety! Practice guns is a very serious matter, you must remember to check the magazine to see if there are any bullets, then insert the magazine like this, and then pull it open. Insurance, aiming, shooting, and after the shooting is completed, you must first check whether there are bullets in the magazine. If there are no bullets, keep the muzzle facing the ground at all times. No matter whether there are bullets, the muzzle cannot be aimed at people, understand?"

"Yeah! Hmm!" Nini nodded her head and listened to Nick talking about the rules. Ju An did not interrupt Nick's words. For a shooting enthusiast, what Nick said was very important.

Ju An stood by and watched Nick teach Nini how to open the safety, how to aim, how to breathe, and how to insert the magazine into the gun. There is still no bullet in the magazine.After watching Nini do it a few times, there was nothing wrong. She helped Nini put on ear protectors and lemon yellow goggles. She pressed a bullet in the clip and handed it to Nini. Nini pressed Following what Nick taught him to press the magazine into the gun, then pulled the safety off, pouted her little mouth, her cheeks bulged, she was holding her breath, followed by a slight muffled sound, Nini put the bullet Called out.

The distance of 15 meters is too simple for a sniper rifle, Nini's bullet hit the fifth ring, Nick glanced at it and praised: "Very good, fifth ring, a very good result for a novice, sweety! You are very talented."

Nini said with a wide-eyed smile: "Let me try again."Nick helped to press five more bullets, and the girl puffed her cheeks again and started playing. All five bullets landed on the target, and Nick praised for a while.

Ju An can't take it seriously. It would be strange if this sniper rifle with a scope can't hit the target at 15 meters, but it can't be said to hit the child, so I also praised a few words.

Seeing that Nini also likes it, then don't bother about it, just wait for the girl to finish firing twenty rounds of bullets in high spirits, Ju An asked Nini, "Are you sure you want this one? ".

"Yeah!" Nini wore lemon-yellow goggles and ear protectors, but she had a heroic bearing. While answering Ju An's words, she opened the magazine to check whether there were still bullets, and then closed the insurance. A process down and let Nick praise again.

"That's it, help me with the registration," Ju An said to Nick with a smile.

"Wait!" After Nick took the gun out of the shooting range, Ju An took off Nini's ear protectors and goggles, held the girl in her arms, and walked outside the shooting range.

When I got outside, I saw the shopkeeper with a grey beard, saw Ju An saying hello to Ju An, then pulled Ju An aside and said to Ju An, "I know an old guy who has an automatic weapons license, and now I want to sell it. , are you interested?"

Ju An was surprised by the "automatic weapon license". This thing is really not common. It is said that Montana issued more than 200 licenses decades ago. Although it is only legal in Montana, other Zhou still doesn't work, but Ju An is not going to use automatic weapons to rob banks, so it is much more convenient to store weapons. With him, Ju An can hold automatic weapons: "How much is he going to sell?"

"15 US dollars, the lowest price," the old man said to Ju An.

"The price is not bad! Then I want it." After thinking about it, Ju An said to the old man. This thing is really uncommon. After this village, there is no such store. The license in New York State is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of dollars. .

"Dad! What is an automatic weapon?" Nini said while hugging Ju An's neck.

The old shop owner said to Nini: "sweety! Automatic weapons are the ones that can shoot a lot of bullets with a single pull of the trigger."

Nini didn't know whether she understood or not and nodded. The old shopkeeper asked Ju An, "Is this a practice gun for my daughter?".

"Yeah!" Ju An said with a smile, "Annie wants to learn marksmanship now."

The shop owner stretched out his hand and shook it with Nini: "Annie will definitely be a good cowboy when she grows up."After thinking about it, he said, "I'll give you a few things."After speaking, she turned around and took out a box from the counter. Ju An took a look at a brand-new goggles and a colorful camouflage ear protector, all of which were very bright, and were worn on Nini's head.

Then the index finger stood up: "Wait! There is another thing."After he finished speaking, he turned around and took a soft-brimmed camouflage cap of the US military and buckled it on Nini's head: "That's it."After speaking, he helped Nini put on the hat, and then put the ear protectors on the soft hat.

Ju An looked really good, smiled and said to Nini, "Annie, what should I say?".

"Thank you," Nini said immediately to the old shop owner.

After chatting with the old shopkeeper for a while, the trading time of the license was confirmed. At this time, Nick brought Nini's rifle, a long rounded box, also a red leather outer box, with a print on it. With some small flowers, it looks quite beautiful.

"AWP! It's a shot!" The old shopkeeper smiled and joked at Ju An, "But An, are you interested in seeing some good guys, of course, if you like sniper rifles."

Ju An said to the old man: "You know what I like, except for some old antiques, the appearance should be cooler."

"I know, I know! The shape is absolutely cool," the old man said with a smile, then turned to Nick and said, "Nick! Go and get the guns in the boxes I brought back yesterday, one of each type, and let Ann see them. Look".

Nick smiled and nodded and asked, "Where?".

"My office, I'm appreciating the goods that just arrived yesterday," the shopkeeper said to Nick, who turned and walked away after listening to the shopkeeper's words.

Ju An said to the shop owner, "It's so mysterious, it hasn't even been put on the shelves."

"There are relatively few people who like this thing. I guess you will like it, so I brought a few back. I also kept one for myself. You will know when you see it," the owner said with a smile.

"It's still so mysterious," Ju An said with a smile.
