Gun laws are getting ridiculous

To the editor,
 
Last time I went to the sporting goods store here in Durango, I was ready to pay for my purchase of ammo when the clerk told me “Strip down facing me.” I did just as I was told. As the screeching was dying down, I began to realize that she was referring to my credit card.
Is it just me or do they need to be more explicit with those instructions?
I guess it hardly matters now. I was told I have to conduct my shopping elsewhere in the future.
