As long as he doesn't have any bullets the gun is just a long stick.

Heck, when I shop at Costo they check my 100-pack of TP against my receipt when I exit the store. And you can walk out of a gun show with a gun and *no* receipt?

Sam's checks the items in your cart against the receipt as well. The check out person is also required to remove every item from you cart to scan it, even 40 pound bags of dog food.

Apparently you haven't been to Costco - they check all receipts on the way out. No big deal. Maybe that was a bad example considering that they probably would not leave a dangerous machine out in the open where it could be taken should one of their associates be napping. Could you imagine that?

You're assuming that Costco's standards are reasonable. For the record, I've only had a handful of checks against my receipts against potentially thousands of purchases. If Costco makes a habit of checking receipts, I'll stay away, thanks.
