As someone who has been on the owner's side of the gun counter, I can tell you that if at any time you feel "wiggly" about a customer buying a gun, you can refuse to sell him/her one. As a dealer, you listen to everything they say and watch how they act, in order to satisfy due diligence that this isn't a straw purchase, but also if someone gets the hair on the back of your neck to stand up and you feel your Spidey Sense tingling, it's usually a good idea to politely deny them service.

Does the ATF require this
? Not per se, but no FF licensee wants to be the one who sold the "crazy-mass-murderer" the tools of destruction. It's bad for business.

Your brother in law probably got the store manager's Spidey Sense going, and he wanted to stop the (probably what he deemed as "not politically correct") conversation from continuing in front of the other customers.

I'm just guessing, here. I could be way off.
