Can a gun shop employee refuse to sell a firearm?

[cdb400]

I understand an owner can refuse service to anyone, but can regular shop employees stop a sale if the person passes a background check, but they don't have a good feeling about it?

Yep.

There is no right to buy.

I have seen plenty of guys at a gun show say “keep right on walking” if someone shady tried to buy something in a private sale.

 

[inkandammo]

Yes.

 

[boneboy96]

Damn right and for good reason!

Was your underwear showing ?

 

[karlvv30]

Yup. Would you sell a gun if you had that bad feeling? I wouldn't.

 

[thebull]

Yes. It’s their liscence

 

[Zeake]

Absolutely. I have had numerous agents tell me I can refuse to sell a gun for whatever reason I want

I can see this working a lot better at local independent shops than places like Walmart or Academy.
