Non-USian here, what was the plan?
Presumably the guy was trying to buy a gun while dressed as the joker, but the shopkeep turned him down.
That's what I'd expect to happen. Why does he think it's significant enough to commemorate on social media?
It's just a bit, for laughs.
Do people find this to be funny?
oh no, he's a comedian. A kinda dark Internet comedian.
Someone once called the cops on him because he was covered in fake blood with a knife in his car recording a video https://youtu.be/VI4GbvegGZgJust the other week he died on video https://youtu.be/MwfgdiDuYVA
Then legend has it everything he posts has been AI sense

Oooh now that makes sense. Thank you!
Why would you expect that? I understand if he was being weird, but just being dressed a certain way shouldn't impact whether you can buy something.
I highly doubt he was refused service, he probably just took the picture and left.
as long as it's not a protected class businesses can refuse service for arbitrary reasons. I don't think many gun stores would sell to someone dressed like a weird clown because it looks like they may be having a mental health episode. that said i agree with you he probably just took the picture and didn't even try.
They sure can, I just don't think they would, unless the person was acting oddly. They probably were though, because I assume that's their shtick, but just dressing up in cosplay but otherwise acting normally probably wouldn't bother most people behind the counter.
i respectfully disagree, I own a fair amount of firearms and I don't think any of the shops I go in would sell to someone dressed like that. They don't want the publicity of having sold someone a firearm who was obviously not in their right mind that went and did something awful and i think that well qualifies. They are always very professional and don't tolerate jokes or funny business around the weapons.
I'm talking a concealed carry class saturday at a shop and i'll ask because i'm curious now!
obviously not in their right min
That really depends on context. If the person was otherwise behaving normally and had a reasonable explanation for how they're dressed (i.e. they're coming back from comicon or something), I don't see why not, as long as the background checks out.
Then again, if they come in filming the place and whatnot, then yeah, I wouldn't touch that with a 10' pole. That's a lot more sus than some makeup.
acting oddly
buying gun in joker paint
Yeah, that'd be odd.
Idk, might be the lack of US genes in me.
United statesian? Lol.
Yes.
I don't think I've ever heard that turn of phrase before. But now I'm gonna start referring to all my buddies across the pond as UKian 😋
Good. This acronym-as-country-name thing is a bad habit that needs to be discouraged at every turn.
