From walk-in to sale, the entire transaction took about 30 minutes. Aguilar bought a box of Hornady-brand buckshot and a box of Federal-brand bird shot along with the gun. A few weeks later, around Christmas, Aguilar came back into the shop with a friend and told Millen that he had taken his advice and tried out the gun at a shooting range. He told the gunshop owner the shotgun had given him quite a kick, as predicted.
