aim the guns at them and hope that they're loaded
beta bot points a gun at these
ruffians. they start to panic.
oh right you're holding a buncha bullets load them into the gun and stick em up
...wait how do we know they're nefarious ruffians ready to beat us up? do they even know who we are??
the
ruffians quickly explain that they're not here to cause trouble or anything, they're just here to buy a couple sidearms and leave. it's not like they just massacre anyone who looks at them funny, i mean, come on.
that seems pretty reasonable.
Use your radiating charisma to your advantage here.
advertise the gun shop to them hardcore
you start to chat with them. matters such as "what kind of gun do you want" and "know any good parties in the area?". polite small talk, really.
then you decide to take advantage of this moment and offer him a brochure.
the
ruffian immedietly slaps it out of your hand,
then points a gun at you, accusing you of being one of those dirty
advertisement folk. what?? you?? never.
