So, you have the interesting situation where it is easier to buy a gun
than a bottle of booze; where there is a policeman standing inside the
booze store but not in the gun store...
Weird country. Maybe a topic for the brothers Coen.

I needed a bit of booze to get the point and then I needed a gun to get
the booze and so I ran up against the policeman who tazered me and I
just woke up in a padded place with a door without a door handle and
bars in front of the small window.

Yeah... climbing up along drain pipes because the key was lost... :-)
or
getting kicked out of a police station because we wanted to stay
inside... (I swear to the truth of this story) ;-)

Now, yes. 30 years ago, no. I've been carded more in my 50s than I

apply. ;)
