Sacha Baron Cohen has duped dozens of high-profile politicians and celebrities, including Sarah Palin and a handful of Congressmen, who are featured in segments on his new show "Who Is America?" While watching the thinly disguised actor deliver his absurd questions, it's almost impossible not to wonder: How do these people fall for this? But even an actor as skilled as Cohen isn't able to dupe everybody.

So when one gun store owner in Riverside, Calif. recognized Cohen mid-shoot, things got a little testy. Norris Sweidan, the owner of Warrior One Guns & Ammo, recounted his story to Fox 11.

The incident unfolded at Warrior One Guns & Ammo in February 2017. Owner Norris Sweidan said Cohen and a camera crew met him at his store, claiming to be filming a documentary about a Hungarian immigrant wanting to buy a gun.

Sweidan said he immediately realized what Cohen was up to, and was not pleased.

"Once I knew it was Borat, we already know his game and his bull*****, so we knew he’s here to make a mockery, and of what? Gun owners? The gun business, gun shops," Sweidan said.

The gun store owner also had a few choice words for the "firearm advocates" who appeared in Cohen's promotional video for his mock "Kinder Guardians" program.

"You’ve got some gun advocate holding a bunny on some gun, if you’re a gun advocate, what the f*** are you doing holding a gun with a bunny on it, really?" He said.

He added that Cohen picked the wrong gun-store owner to mess with and also had some choice words for Showtime.

"He was fake, the producers were fake, the show...
