Jack,
Like your experience, I would say about 95% of people asking for my assistance to buy a gun were serious folks asking for expertise. I have had many success stories. There is ONE fellow that "takes the cake."
A neighbor and gun club member went and got his CCW a few years ago. He wanted a carry revolver, so we went to the local gun shop. I saw a 95% .38 Special M10 S&W for about $250 as I recall. We handled the gun and he said he had to go home and speak with his wife before he bought it. I went home and resumed farm work. About a week later that same fellow came by with the M10. He asked, "Can I buy .38 ammo in less than case lots?" I told him he could since a case is 1,000 rounds, he could buy a 50-round box. He said, "No, I mean I only want to buy six rounds." I told him I thought that was a bad idea and suggested a box of wadcutters and a box of duty loads to check out a used handgun and get used to the noise, recoil, etc. He refused and asked me to sell him 6 rounds. I refused.
