I was sitting with a practice managment person today and we were talking business plans and what not and she asked me if I knew any attorneys.

I replied yes and she was like how did you guys meet.

Well Stephanie we are bonded by common hobbies and she asked me what hobbies we had in common. (The whole time I had a clay thrower sitting in front of her on the floor). I said we like to shoot together.

Her eyes did one of these things! :what: and she said Do you have you gun with you?!!!!!

I calmly said," No ".

Stephanie said, "Good cause I wouldn't want you to shoot someone!!!!"

I calmly looked at her with a serious face and said " Stephanie, why would you think that I would shoot someone."

She said it was just a joke and looked away.

I repeated the question to give her time to better explain herself and she said the same thing and asked me why I was upset. I explained to her it was a pet peeve of mine for someone to automatically assume that just because someone is a gun owner they would just shoot someone. She then asked me if I shot animals. :T I explained to her that I shoot for sport and at this time my targets are paper and clays. So after her continued to embarass herself with her display of immaturity and eventually found an excuse to leave to meeting.

Its too bad that about 70 percent of all the women I work with are anti's.

Moral of the story

When I leave this practice. I am going to only hire gun nuts and have office parties at the range :)

Inter-office memo:


In order to meet the challenges of the 21st century office environment and the issue of political correctness, all client business meetings shall be henceforth moved from the boom boom boobie bar to the local shooting range.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I often deal with people who are totally ignorant of guns and have no agenda one way or the other. That's everyone I've actually met who wasn't pro-gun. I like taking these people shooting if they care to experience what guns are like.

I've not met an anti as far as I know. Doubt I'd have anything to say to one from what I've heard about them. I'd probably be too disgusted to associate on any level. Love it or leave it comes to my mind. These people are deserving of nothing less than immediate deportation.

Interesting this thread is running .. just today i think I achieved a near total conversion .... soooo satisfying. I'll go start a thread on it cos it's worth writing up fully.

Subject line ... hmmm .... that'll have to be ''Whoo-Hoo - another one ''cured''. :p

The local paper just printed an article about repealing our "new" concealed carry law. So, I am in the break room at work when a few of my co-workers (female RN's) were talking about how it would be a good idea to repeal it. I just pointed out that before the law changed people needed no training to obtain a permit in Minnesota. I also pointed out that there used to be no legal provision for buisnesses to post signs preventing legal permit holders from carrying on their property. I lastly pointed out that permits issued in the past year are good for 5 years, so the government would have to set up some kind of rebate, which would cost some money in a time without a whole lot in the budget, or treat permits like a drivers license and allow the ones out there to be good until the expiration date. (We don't require everyone to take a test and get a new license when they change a traffic law, do we?)

As I walked out I made this flippant remark:

"I hope they do repeal it, it sure would be nice to be able to carry in schools again."

There was stunned silence from the sheeple. People who are rabidly anti are never going to let facts get in the way of their opinions, but I have noticed that they really, really dislike having those facts pointed out to them. Maybe at some level they do understand that they are irrational?

[Iron Mike]

I dont know if this qualifies as razzing an anti but here goes.
My wife contributes to friends of animals and Doris Day, so we get all kinds of save the animals mail and phone calls from various groups.One day when I was home and she was not, I got a call from someone who claimed he was from PETA asking if my wife was at home.Isaid no that she was hunting.He said what? I said she was hunting and that it was machete season here in New Jersey and that it takes a hell of alot of work to kill a deer with a machete which is why they only allow you to take fawns.He didn't say anouther word he just hung up.:evil:

Well actually that was not the first such incident . Once at a party this unctiously annoying ,self righteous,loud,holier than thou vegan type was putting down hunters and shooters and meat eaters etc. etc.....
So eventualy when she got around to how any one who eats veal is a savage because of the conditions in which they(the calves) are forced to live.I explained to her that the first thing I did when in a resturant is to order veal because if no one ate veal, those calves would not be killed and would grow up to be full sized cows in those little pens.
She stared at me for a while and said something about soy veal I said couldn't eat soy veal because the thought of all those little beans in those tiny cages was heart breaking........She went away

[Dionysusigma]

Moment of silence for those poor, poor beans... :(

BWAHAHAHAHAA!:D

Last night, I was over at my friend's apt. getting ready to move in. A couple of other guests were there, helping to move furniture and whatnot, when one guy comes across my roomate's crossbow ( http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=59996 ). He immediately freaks out and says "Don't get that thing anywhere near me!"

I just laughed and asked, "What is it with all these people with fears of inanimate objects?" as I picked it up and put it in the corner. It had no bowstring.

His reply? "I hate weapons, man."

Me: "You use hammers, circular saws, belt sanders all the time, right?" (his fav. hobby is woodworking)

Him: "Yeah, so?"

Me: "I have a [and this is true, folks] fear of circular saws like you wouldn't believe. One got away from guy I knew about ten years ago. Cut him up REAL bad. Blood everywhere. Even now, the sight of the blades or the sound of 'em makes me cringe like crazy."

Him: "Well, that doesn't mean circular saws are bad. Sure, stuff like that can happen, but they do more good than harm."

Me: "But guns are?"

Him: "Yup."

Me: "Why?"

Him: "Uh... they, um... *sigh*" and proceeded to change the topic.

:uhoh: Fear of inanimate objects indeed... :rolleyes:

I had a lot of fun where I used to work. Everyone knew that guns was one of my hobbies. I would hang up my good targets in my office and lots of people would ask about them. Fortunately we didn't have many rabid antis to spoil the mood.

One of my favorite things to do at lunch time was take women to the gun range and teach them how to shoot. Lots of them were interested but didn't want to learn from their husbands. All of those that I taught did really well and had a great time. They would even hang their targets in their office and brag about them.

At my going-away luncheon, they acknowedged this by thanking me for "Arming and training all of the women in the building".

[gunsmith]

With my girl friend,her roomate put up a big stink about how she didn't want "guns in the house". She ended up moving out and I saw her coming home from work and she was with her friends on the bus,being an armed guard I was wearing my gun she asked real loud "is that thing loaded"
my reply "of course it is,you can't shoot some one with and unloaded gun"
A guy she was with wanted to know how you get to carry a loaded gun when your a security guard, I told him only NRA members were permitted to carry:cool: ***
Another day in a toursist spot I work at an English women was real suprised that I get to carry & I'm not a cop,she wanted to know when I'm allowed to "shoot someone" I told her,when I'm in a bad mood,drunk or hung over. She got the joke and said "thank God you're in a jolly mood then eh?"***
I guard the truck some days while my partner goes around the corner
and this upset guy comes up to me and wants to know if I am with the armed guard around the corner. Maybe I am, I say.
He tells me that the guard looked at him and put his hand on his gun
gripping it in a hostile manner. I said "we are required by law to do what ever the little voices tell us to do":evil: he decided to leave the area

[Harry Tuttle]

Last Month, i spent an entire evening camped out in front of Leah Barrett's Assault weapon Ban Fundsraiser with my TRT group.

As they came & left i snapped pictures of the more prominent Antis

One wanted to know why i was taking pictures,
i told her i wanted to see if vampires show up on film.

Good Lord, I haven't laughed like this in quite awhile!:D

I can't wait to use some of this stuff on any ANTI's I happen to meet.:evil:

[Zach S]

One of my little bros friends came over the day I got a surplus ammo can via UPS. The top of the can says "AMMUNTION FOR CANNON - WITH EXPLOSIVE PROJECTILES." He looked at me and asked "Um, Zach, why do you have cannon ammo?" And of course, in true Burt fashion, I looked at him with a confused facail expression and replied "My cannon..." He hasnt been back since. Cant say I'm sorry either...

[ozzyrules]

My history teacher ia a severe anti and it really bugs me. History teachers are usually the coolest people around. He actually is a cool guy but everytime we discuss the bill of rights or gun control i always find myself defending my gun ownership. It's pretty light hearted and never too serious but i present my arguements and he struggles and then says somehing to the degree of;

" Well, i grew up in center city, philladelphia and i crried a blackjack and always felt safe. I had to use it once, and that was it, no harm no foul. I didn't kill the guy or have to go to court. I WHACKED him and ran."

To which i respond, "If you show a bg a gun you usually don't have to use it."
Then we change subjects.:rolleyes:

O well, i respect him and his beliefs, but some people don't get it.

On another note, When we went over WWII he really spen a lot of time discussing fire power and tanks and so on. Really cool stuff to learn about.

[Norton]

Iron Mike,

Thanks for getting a snowy, nasty day off to a great start....I laughed for 10 minutes over that one.....good thing the students aren't here today, they'd have thought I was crazier than usual.

I have the luxury of pressing an anti's buttons without having to go further than my own family. I think that my mother is seeing the light, slowly but surely.

If someone is ambivilant rather than anti, I try to educate them. If they are rabidly anti (read idiot) then I'll press their buttons.

One thing that's easy to catch a Vegan on is their leather boots, shoes, belt, jacket etc.

[spacemanspiff]

only recent flying feathers was with that liberal ding-dong who couldnt believe that CCW's were given out to people that didnt demonstrate a "NEED" for it, since obviously there is no real crime that occurs and whatever anectdotal occurances there are would never happen to me or anyone i know.

when she asked why i carried, i said "to compensate for my small sex organ!"

might as well go with their absurd arguments. :D

[zahc]

My ethics prof has made anti comments. When I was checking guns in at the police station so they don't hurt anyone one day:rolleyes: he walked by and I got the standard hoplophobic projection; 'have to be nice around you since you have guns' :rolleyes: I haven't said a word i just started wearing my glock hat and bringing gun mags to class.

[Sam Adams]

My history teacher ia a severe anti and it really bugs me.

Maybe you should ask Mr. History if he has ever heard of the Holocaust. When he says, "yes, of course," you ask him if he's ever seen any of the actual films of the camps in operation, or at liberation. When he says, "yes, of course," you then ask him "So, how many of the people transported to the camps had guns?" For more on this topic, you might want to refer your teacher to the following website for Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership: http://www.jpfo.org/ You might also use the information on the JPFO website to inform you teacher that the 1968 Gun Control Act in this country was lifted, almost word-for-word, from the 1938 Nazi weapons law - which was used to "legally" deprive Jews and other "undesireables" of weapons with which to defend themselves.

You might also point out to him the utility of having guns in the hands of ordinary people by using the example of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising: a few dozen Jews armed with rusty old pistols and single-shot rifles managed to hold off many thousands of German soldiers for several weeks.

Another historical example of the good that guns do is the quote from Admiral Yamamoto of Pearl Harbor and WW2 fame: "You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass." He was advising Japan's military leaders of the futility of an invasion of the mainland United States because of the widespread availability of guns. It has been theorized that this was a major contributing factor in Japan's decision not to land troops on North America early in the war when they had vastly superior military strength. This delay gave our industrial infrastructure time to gear up for the conflict and was decisive in our later victory. By the way, this quote was found on: http://www.sightm1911.com/Care/Gun_Quotes.htm
You will find many quotes related to guns on that page, and will be given an instant education by doing so.

Of course, another example of the use of firearms to fight tyranny is the American Revolution iitself. In fact, you could point out to him that the Battles of Lexington & Concord (which were preceeded by Paul Revere's famous midnight ride) occurred because the British military governor of Boston ordered his troops to those two towns for the purpose of confiscating the militia armories located there. Thus, all of our freedoms, including your half-wit teacher's ability to denigrate our right to keep and bear arms, came about because many individuals - armed individuals, decided to fight gun control.

Finally, you might point out that the dead white males that drew up the Constitution and later proposed and ratified the Bill of Rights, were very serious folks. They didn't go through a bloody and costly war with the world's most powerful nation, then argue for years about the proper design of a government intended to "...secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..." all for the purpose of securing the right of a bunch of beer-swilling, pot-bellied, cousin-marrying, racist rednecks to go around in the woods killing Bambi's relatives. The 2nd Amendment ain't about duck hunting, it is about revolution against tyranny. If he tells you that the "militia" of the 2nd Amendment is the National Guard, remind him that the National Guard wasn't created until 1903, whereas the 1792 Militia Act specifically refers to individual citizens as the Militia (as does current law - Title 10, Section 311 of the US Code). Additionally, you can refer him to the Federalist Papers #46, where Madison (the guy who wrote the Constitution), speaks of how an army controlled by the government could never overcome an armed populace.

[AJ Dual]

Be careful using that Yamamoto quote, IIRC it's an urban legend.

Apologies if I'm wrong about that.

[Cosmoline]

I'd be interested in learning more about whether that quote is genuine. It certainly jibes with what Yammamoto warned about. He warned that to get the US to surrender, the Japanese troops would have to march all the way to the White House.

[Drjones]

Actually, the moral of the story is:

Stick with the pro-gun girl you already have. She's a keeper. ;)

:)

See ya this weekend!

[cracked butt]

I was at the barber shop 2 weeks ago and a local talk radio show was talking about the CCW vote in Wisconsin. The barber went off on a rant to another customer how its going to become dodge city and blood of children is going to flow in the street. When it was my turn for a haircut he started into it again. I told him politely that I've been shooting competitions with pistols, rifles, shotguns for over 20 years, and could assure him that when I get my CCW, children aren't going to be shot. I also mentioned that his scenario has never played out in what is most of the rest of the country that allows CCW. I had to be polite because if the guy didn't have the emotional maturity to trust himself with a gun, then I shouldn't get too comfortable with him having a sharp shiny object near my head:uhoh:

I think I'll go to the barbershop down the street from him next time, the one with deer headmounts on the walls- it looks alot more promising :cool:

[Darrin]

Oleg gave me an RKBA sticker one day. (The white oval one) I promptly put it on the lower left of my rear windshield on my car.

Well, I had traveled to one of my remote offices and was standing out back smoking with some of the therapists at this office.

Therapist: What's that sticker on your car?
Me: RKBA
Therapist: What does that mean?
Me: Right to Keep and Bear Arms
Therapist: Well, we just won't go there.

That's been at least 5 months ago now and this lady still won't talk to me. I've known this lady for about 3 years and NOW she doesn't want to talk to me. Amazing, I was such a nice guy before she knew I liked guns. :rolleyes:

What's even better? The other therapist at that office took the gun safety class with me and has her permit also! :D
