Then he went on the year of Mormon proselytizing. He and a companion
walked into a backwoods Georgia gun store, sweaty, smelly and dusty
from the road, saw a production one for the first time, got all
excited and exclaimed something like "Hey, that's my design. I made
that gun!".

The owner threw them both out.

After that year he didn't have much more to do with the Church.
