GUN CONTROL FOR SENIORS!

The old man needed some ammo for his home protection gun, so he went to the gun shop to buy some stuff.
When he got ready to pay for his purchases of gun powder and bullets,
the cashier said, “Strip down, facing me.”
Making a mental note to complain to the National Rifle Association
about gun control wackos, he did as she had instructed. When the
hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, he found out that she
was referring to how he should place his credit card in the scanner.
He has been asked to shop elsewhere in the future.
