Re: Post from GOSA Facebook page: Robbed while collecting firearm at gun shop. Be careful out there!
I don't hangout in gun shops. I handle it like a duck mating. In and out!
Based on the average level of incompetence (for reference I have seen and heard some weird shit by\from staff) I don't blame the principle of not wanting people to handle and especially load guns in store.
Sure there can be better systems put in place like a dedicated hot zone and or an escort (however the escort might have its own negative effect as criminals are smarter than we think 99% of the time).
Remember there is civil and criminal liability.
The owner of the shop (and his staff) can be held vicariously liable and criminal charged for contravening the OSHAct.

The gun community/dealers :
"Gun owners are responsible citizens, they should be allowed to carry everywhere because a place is safer if there is a good guy with a gun around !"
Also some of the gun community/dealers :
"Sorry we don't trust you, a proficient and competent person, to load your own legally licensed gun in a store."

I think the crooks just look out for the guy leaving the shop with that joyful grin and spring in his step after a 1 year wait for a license... you just can't hide it.
I must say, I was quite terrified when I picked up my new firearm for exactly that reason.

I went to a range here in Durban won't mention names but I loaded my pistol back up after shooting put it back on my hip and left with my empty range bag no one the wiser .i was followed by 5 guys in a beat up golf chasing me from robot to robot checking me out suspiciously .it was obvious what they where doing. I was about to pull into a parking lot that I need to make a stop at still saying to the misses watch they will follow us and kak is going to fly when a unmarked police car pulled them over forced them out the car and on the ground then searched them.
