And this new one is a Gospel true story. 
My next door neighbor bought a rifle at the local Scotts Gun Shop in Ballarat.
He then had to go to the bank as his last chore for the day, he asked the fella at the door ( the then doorman) which he happened to know and who actually was my Father in law, and said, "Hey Burnie just hang onto this while i go to the desk will ya". 
Burnie did, but was a bit uncomfortable standing at the door of the bank with a rifle in hand. 
A true story.
