Everytime I see a thread similar to this one (though I have yet to read one this funny ), it always make me think of a scene from the movie "Falling Down", with Michael Douglas. The one where he drops into the Army Surplus Store, and the guy running it takes Douglas into the all important (and secretive) "back room" where all the really good stuff is kept. He then proceeds to show off a canister of Zyklon Gas, used to exterminate Jews in the concentration camps. Oh, the pride shown by this guy in his secret cache! 
At some point, if you go into enough gun shops, you could end up face to face with someone like this. Thankfully, they are a small minority. geegee

I'm fortunate in that these guys amuse me rather than upset me.
I did meet an interesting fellow a couple weeks ago. He was about 5'6" weighed every bit of 300 lbs and told me he was 26 years old. He was looking at a couple Savage rifles (with the tactical Choate stock, of course) and I mentioned that the AccuTrigger was very easily adjustable when he commented on the rough trigger. This, unfortunately, got me involved in a long convoluted conversation that I really wanted no part of. He went on to tell me that he was both a Navy SEAL and a Marine sniper that was in Desert Storm. Hrmm... It's 2003... Desert Storm was in 1991... He's 26 years old... minus 12 years so... Yep! He was a combination Marine Sniper and Navy SEAL overseas at the tender age of 14. He also couldn't hold the rifle anything that resembled steady and while the rifle was swaying around, he tells me that during his sniper days, he learned all sorts of secrets on how to make long range shots offhand and that most snipers don't even use a bipod.

Cratz,
I had one of those overweight "SEALS" come in the shop one time. The funny thing is that we supplied some of SEAL Team 7's rifles through the shop, so there were actually 3 SEALs in at the time, listening to his war stories. It was all real amusing until they started asking him questions and he just about ran out the front door when he figured out who he was talking to.

What about the Tactical Range Pimps? You know, guys who show up with a purple velvet suit, nickel 1911 with ivory grips and tactical hat feather (like Carlos Hathcock or the guy from I'm Gonna Git U Suckah, I don't know which?)
Yes, 'Gun Dork' was actually coined by Daniel G. Frory

An actual Marine sniper friend of mine have a running joke that between the two of us, we must personally know every single ex Navy SEAL. I honestly can tell you the exact number of people that I've talked to that say they were in the Nave and were NOT SEALS... three. Total! So the other 20 ex- Navy guys I know were all SEALS.
I guess every single one of them retired to central Indiana and the Dallas area. It's also funny. The only guy I know that was a for sure Navy SEAL pretty much never talks about SEAL stuff... as in the actual operations. But all the other guys that I can't confirm their SEAL-ish status, never stop talking about this operation and that one.

Hey, I was on the teams!
Actually some guys at our IDPA club have a running joke. When one of my friends introduces me, he's like, "Hey, have you met Jeff? He was on the teams."
"Oh, he was on the teams too?"
"Yeah, we used to HALO together during our black ops!"
