March 30, 2021 OK, trying to parse. That whole transaction, start to finish, took 1:55. Fastest gun buy in the west. And it doesn't look like Otto (is it Otto?) paid - I didn't see any money changing hands. What I can't make out is Gary's reaction - is he shocked? Surprised? It seems like Otto pauses to exchange a few words with Gary before he leaves - what was said?

And if it was just a simple robbery (or some kind of "flexible" payment plan, in Otto's cracked view), why not just report it as such? "Hey, deputy, that a##hole Otto took a gun from my store and didn't pay for it." Why all the mystery? And why was Gary so upset? If he's selling guns in a small town, I'm sure he's Seen Some Stuff (TM). So why did this rattle his cage?

Awaiting next installment... o_O

March 30, 2021 Not your typical gun-purchase. But maybe it wasn't a purchase at all, like a consignment and he decided not to sell it after all.
Waiting for what follows...

March 30, 2021 Whoever it was, he forgot to "buy" the ammo.

(I don't think it's Otto. Too easy to identify. No idea who it is.)
