Pretty Sure I ticked off the gun show dealer today

[Tim the student]

I find it amusing, and as I see it, if no customers were around, nothing wrong with it.

Maybe in poor taste a bit, but no harm, no foul.

To everyone talking down to this guy, come on. Lighten up. What he said was funny as hell. I'm sorry some of you weren't able to laugh because it would interrupt your situational awareness and a gang of meth head al-qaeda pirate ninjas could burst through the window and catch you off guard.

That sir is full of win bwahahaha

If you had said something like that during a sale....wouldn't have been funny.

Absolutely, I wouldn't have messed with the guy's sale. That would have been totally uncool.

And yes, go read Larry's entire original post over on his blog.

You have your right to your opinion. I own h&K and it is one of my only 'will never sell" guns - I love it.

Good for you. I'm glad you found something you like and want to hang onto it.

There are things to this whole 2nd Amendment, Right to Keep and Bear Arms thing that I take with deadly seriousness. The four rules for example. Also, defending our right to be able to practice those rules.

But some gun dealer at a gun show who took a little grief, a little friendly ribbing over his inventory from me. You all who find fault with poking fun seem to be focused on the wrong thing.

 

[Halo is for Kids]

I don't think they walked away from a $20K purchase because of what you said.

 

[THE DARK KNIGHT]

You all who find fault with poking fun need to experience the world aside from the shooting range and the gun forum.

Fixed it for ya.

Funny

LMAO. That's funny stuff. Liked corieas(?) article, too. BTW I'd wear one of those shirts

"This guy sounds like a scorned angry old woman. Did HK give you an STD, got your sister pregnant and leave you four kids? That fact that a supposedly grown man can have so much hate for a company is laughable at best. The fact that you supposedly sell guns for a living makes it even worse. This dumb rant just makes you and the idiots that agree with you looks like ignorant clowns. And not only that it proves that you are the real fanboys hating a company for no apparent reason just because you don’t like their prices.

HK makes great weapons that have never failed me and have outperformed all the other brands I’ve tried. Sure they are a little on the expensive side but you do get more quality for that extra money. And just because I prefer HK products, I’m mature enough to not hate the other brands just because I like this one. I like guns not companies and I’ll buy whatever gun I like, who makes has absolutely no bearing on my desicion."

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

H&K, Herpes and Klap, those rotten so & so's

No, my sister is smarter than that to sleep around

Yep, that's why I can't afford an H&K and be a cool operator, four rug rat mouths to feed.

What makes you believe I 'hate' H&K. They're an ok firearm, but they won't trust me and you with even a semi auto version of their machine pistol and AR variant. If they sold a semi auto version of the MP5 that civilians could buy, I'd own one for the 'coolness' factor out on the range.

I don't have an FFL or a C&R, never claimed to have one and haven't even gone through a private sale transaction yet. The guy you're probably confusing me with is Larry Correia and he posts under his own screen name. He no longer has his FFL either. He's found a better paying gig.

Larry is a three gun shooter and co wrote this.

And finally just for fun.



Edit: And I see someone went and reposted a reply to the original MHI post.

 

[22-rimfire]

Most of us have said something to a dealer at a gunshow that we'd wish we wouldn't have later.... prices usually. You want HOW MUCH for that Glock? There were times I held my tongue and wished I made my point a bit more strongly too. Life goes on.

I just wouldn't have mentioned it on an internet gun forum, if you know what I mean. You were just asking for it.

 

[buck460XVR]

.......the use of "HK....because you suck and we hate you!" is reminiscent of the Cable Guy's "get 'er done!" Was cute the first thousand times I heard it, but after that it got old.

Proud of yourself cause you P.O. someone with you smartazz comments and coming here to brag about it, as the posting of clown pics to bash those that don't applaud your immature actions......... in MHO, is not "the High Road".

But, to take a page outta your own book............and finally just for fun

 

[Officers'Wife]

And this helped the discussion by...????

 

[akodo]

as long as the guys had walked away and you didn't impact the sale...you are golden

Heck, as long as the chance for that sale had ended, you'd have been fine walking after those young fellers and explaining to them that a nice 12 guage pump stoked with buckshot may not be nearly as flashy as a HK MP5 no-stock-SMG-so-its-really-a-pistol-not-a-SBR nor nearly as flashy as a Deagle, but still a damn effective tool.

I'm sorry, I couldn't make head nor tail of this thread until I got to post #13

For those who just arrived on the Interweb gun forums last week or are Google-impaired:

then all was made clear.
Pretty funny I have to say.

Fred.

His thread has sadly lowered the collective IQ of THR by several points, and needs to be stopped.
