Lighten up, Francis.

I'm about as happy and easy-going as they come, and I've got the t-shirt (and BDU's) to prove it. In fact, I plan on retiring back in Cheeseland the day after I burn those issued BDU's. So, if you're anywhere near Wisconsin Dells or Portage, you can come on over to my several acres of standing oak and call me "Francis" all you want. Or if you'd like, you can wear camo to that really nice rifle range in Lodi and call me "Francis" there, too. I choose not to wear camouflage off-duty, and it's been explained many times on this thread why people don't wear it to firing ranges. That's not camophobia by a long stretch.
Now, if you have something constructive to add to this thread instead of jumping in and calling people names, I'm all ears.
Guy, you're coming across as pretty tightly wound. I'm sorry you're getting so worked up over this. "Lighten up Francis" is a line out of a movie, uttered by a Drill Sgt when a recruit started acting wound up. The nature of this whole thread is pretty light duty. Relax a bit.
I'm former military. I don't wear BDUs because so many wannabe's do. I'm a firefighter / paramedic. I don't wear uniform T's and such off duty 'cause so many robby rescues do. That doesn't mean that every one who does is a wannabe or a robbie rescue, it's simply an association that I avoid. It's also just not a big deal to me. If i had realized that it was a truely important issue for you, I wouldn't have joked about it around you. Oh, and just to keep the record straight, I never said anything about camophobia. That was a different poster.
Now can we fight about something important like 9mm vs .45, or what rifle Al Pacino used in 'Heat'?
