Do you ever get silly requests from non-gun owners?

[Q-Lock]

I was talking to one of my best friends about a week ago; he's supposed to be getting his hands on a box of earplugs for me. Anyway, I just remind him about my request for the earplugs and he says he'll have them soon(didn't get them yet ).

Here's how the conversation went:

me: Thanks a lot man, I'll take you out shooting for your troubles.(he's never handled a firearm before)
him: Yeah, that's all I need...to die from a gunshot wound.
me: Are you kidding me?! That's not going to happen. Proper safety precautions will keep us safe. It's a bit difficult to shoot your self when you're behind your weapon.
him: yeah whatever.

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I was speechless after hanging up. One of my own good friends said that...now that was just depressing.

Friggin unaware/uninformed anti's. And to think this guy's a hardcore republican...

I just took an anti-gun guy from work to the range last Friday. He was making several comments like that prior to the trip as well. Now, he is pestering me, wanting to know if I'll take him again

Stick with it, and try to show your friend the error of his ways

I wouldn't let him get off that easy. Me; "You want to wear my interceptor vest in Med. or LG? With or without SAPI plates? Or, how about a non mil. issue interceptor style with steel plates? Helmet?" "I'll bring a combat lifesaver bag with bandages, chest seals and Heta starch IV's, I guarantee if you manage to shoot yourself in a part not covered by the vest/helmet, you won't die."

Him; "what are you gonna wear?" Me; "shorts and a T-shirt...decided not to shoot myself"
