Truth!

Yes, gun store employees are permitted to have faults. To a point. When someone comes into the retail environment I work in (i.e. a gas station), and asks me a question, sometimes I don't know the answer. In response, I either admit to not knowing the answer or ask them to hold on while I...

...but you need to learn the rules! My parents are, put simply, virulently anti-gun. Not in a Brady Campaign kinda way, but they don't want guns in their home, and they're utterly baffled by my fascination with weaponry (firearms first and foremost). Theirs is a polite, suburban sort of...

"So the kid decided to bring a gun to school, covertly. If the parents had known about it, they would not have allowed it. So, we put the parents in jail... Both of them. That seems like a prosecuters dream. Two for the price of one and you get the spin on a PC topic..." Whoa, whoa, whoa -...

My first was a Henry Arms AR-7, purchased at a gun show when I was 18. My folks have a neurotic fear and hatred of firearms (they're perfect parents otherwise), and so I never had guns around when I was growing up. And to answer the obvious question: The parents were enraged.

Shooter McGavin said: Hmm? Sorry, friend - you'll have to speak up if I'm to hear you over all this gunfire.

I don't carry, as I live in the utopian and violence-free promised land that is Wisconsin. (Milwaukee's Current Murder Rate: 12th in The Nation) I was sitting around the apartment one night, watching TV and showing a friend of mine my new revolver, which I'd bought after being burglarized...

I fired a couple mags through a CZ 83 during my pistol class. I'm definitely a fan, and it seems like it'd be a cinch to conceal.

A buddy of mine picked one of these suckers up about two weeks ago, and I of course had to go along if there's a ride to The Ammo Box to be had. :) He hasn't experienced any problems with mag wobble. However, it took several hours and a lot of cursing to get the damn bayonet off the front of it.

Yeah, there's usually plenty of stupid to go around at gun shops. Most that I encounter is of the dumb-kids-playing-with-the-AR's variety; I don't even really approach the staff unless I'm making a purchase.

On the one hand, I think charging into your kid's school armed to get them out is probably a good way to get riddled with bullets. The cops have enough to worry about in a situation like that, and they're gonna assume some guy running around with a live weapon is a threat. On the other hand...

I'd call myself competent with a handgun, but not "well-trained." I tend to think of specops guys or something there. My training consists of an afternoon defensive pistol course (thanks to our own Firebreather) and some range time since then. I'd love to take some more formal training, but...

Emitt, my comment wasn't directed at you. I do fly a Gadsden. :)

I joined the NRA officially two days before the election, and I'm paid up with JPFO. I'll give GOA a look after class today. Smurfslayer is right, though. Write letters, go to gatherings, get involved.

Y'know, although I cast my votes mainly for the Republican side, I would remind folks that the GOP wasn't exactly doing a bang-up job. Maybe a little less venom would be more productive.

Dammit... just once, could someone call for unity without a bunch of folks throwing around a lot of petulant defeatism? Yes, we lost. No, the game isn't over. Sir Winston was right - If you're going through hell, keep going.

Screw that. Isn't there some forbidden, necromantic ritual we could use to resurrect Eisenhower? "Braaaaiiiins... and voooooootes..."

I gotta check the work schedule, but I might be able to make an appearance. It's been waaay too long since I fired a gun. :(

I love libertarianism, too. But their party apparatus is a shambles, and they haven't the slightest idea how to win an election. The Libertarian Party is the party of publicity stunts and self-righteous press releases - don't hang America's salvation on them.

LOL... I'm available to babysit. :)
