#32 The Brady Law


He paid for the gun on Tuesday afternoon. She left him that night. If the salesman at the Wilderness World recognized the man he did not show it. Looking back, it’s hard to imagine he had not known his features, with all the pictures of Megan and him together on Facebook and Instagram.
If he did know him, he did not tell her that night or for the next three days. He did not tell his friend, or the police. What he did do was sell him a pistol of staggering caliber and even called him to retrieve it when the waiting period expired.

On Friday the man climbed out of his truck and collected the .357. He was escorted from the store by the Manager. Then he loaded six into the wheel, walked in again with the gun in his pocket and did his part to end the affair.
