Reminds me of the time I got pulled over in South Georgia. I was doing 61 in a 55, and it took four squad cars to pull me over and check my license. While I was standing around waiting, I asked one of the officers what he was carrying.

"40mm. One of them new S&W autos."

"40mm?!? Wow. And you carry that on your hip?"

"Yep, it's kinda got a kick to it."

"I'd bet!"

And I left it at that. :uhoh:
 
Not guns, but we have a guy at work who drove to Detroit and back in one night! ( We are in Mont. Al.)
He also found his buddy at the bottom of the pool after 1 hour, did CPR and revieved him.
I imagine his gun tales would be similar. Some people are not just ignorant, they just plain lie about all things. Pathological liar, I believe it is.
 
gun stories

I used to work with a guy who claimed he owned hundreds of guns including Colt Pattersons and Walkers. You name it, he had it. They were stored where he used to live, he said. They would have been worth several hundred thousand dollars if true.. Of course a co-worker would pick this guy up for work. He lived in a rundown camping trailer with no electricity he had parked in the foothills. I mentioned I had a 44 mag rifle. He said he didn't like 44 mag rifles because the 44 mag was made for a revolver and shooting it in a rifle it would lose 400 fps.
 
The 9mm pistol is awesome. Once we shot a rabbit from our car and when we went over to find him, found he had been completely vaporized

well, thank goodness I've only shot-um with 8x57JS:neener:

Where I used to work our errand runner told me he was getting a Desert Eagle on saturday. (he was 19, in PRK need to be 21 for handgun) I asked him how he did on the "Handgun Saftey Certificate Test". he said he got all 15 rounds in the bullseye (it's a written test to make sure you know the 4 rules, and the PRK legal B.S.) So then I asked what caliber he got 9mm or .380ACP. He said .380. I couldn't help but keep going for my morbid curiosity, like watching a car accident on the freeway, I asked how much it cost cause I was looking to get one. He said $250.00:what:

I then said we should go shooting, and explained nicely why he was so full of it his eyes were turning brown. He liked shooting but wasn't happy when I explained that "real people" hold their handguns in an upright, non-sideways, position:neener:

Explaining privatly so as not to humiliate them and offer to go shooting seems to work. Just remember, if they spew that they probably don't know the 4 rules so talk about it before you go.
 
I'm sorry.

I really don't want to be in the same vicinity with anyone as ignorant and stupid as some of these folks seem to be.

Especially with loaded firearms present.
 
Yeah.... well nothing beats my porcelain Glock 7 .40mm. It's completly undetectable by metal detectors or X-ray machines but costs more than anyone here makes in a month. :D
 
My friend worked with a guy who said that when he was in the Navy Special Forces, he shot down a Hind D by shoulder firing a Barrett M82.

He also worked with a guy who said he had a HK Mk23 and an upper line Kimber. One day he brings in a Hi Point .45 that he said he bought after he sold the other two. The reason he sold them......the Hi Point was more accurate and had a better trigger.:what:
 
amp goes to 11

I loved that movie. Haven't seen it in years.

I've been lurking and reading for months and my 1st post is in response
to a Spinal Tap reference. Don't hold it against me guys. :eek:
 
I used to feel bad for these kind of guuys, so I'd just nod in agreement and pretend to be interested and priveledged to be in the vicinity of such coolness.

Now I realize that I can get rich off these guys.

Bet them. Bet them that there is no such thing, or that they can't do what they say they can.

Hold them to their bet. Of course, if you lose, you have to man up and honor your end.

Learned it from a friend that would bet on the sun coming up. He had all these fantastic claims, and if anyone said anything to the contrary, he would bet a ridiculous sum of money (hundreds or thousands) that he could prove them wrong. More often than not, he was full of BS, and I won myself some rather handsome bets. Of course, I lost a coulple stupid ones, too.

that reminds me of another person and a high point story. this guy comes in to work and wants me to come out to his truck to see his new gun and see if he got a good deal or not. i said " well what is it?" he says "it is a glock frame with a ruger slide" wow i though i have to see this! i went out to the truck it was a hi-point .45 with one of those trigger mounted lasers, and btw he got jipped, he paid $359 for it, and it had definetly seen better days!

TN-Dave,
You'll be fine... ummm, you aren't a drummer are you? :D
 
not a drummer

The drummer reference took me a minute to remember.

Back on topic, I work in a small department of 4 people for a little over a year.
For the 1st 9 months or so it was myself and 3 women. But about a couple of months ago two of the girls transfered and two guys took their jobs

One shares my interest in fireworks and the other is a gun nut. And they both really know their stuff. Much more interesting coversations at work lately.

And the firewall doesn't have THR blocked :)
 
In Maxim magazine,they said James Bond has always used a Walther .380. Well someone wrote in to tell them that in the original Casino Royale, Bond used a Barrett 25mm. That's right, a Barrett 25mm. That's a pretty badass undercover pistol. I think they meant a Beretta .25.

No wonder no one knows what I'm talking about when I tell them Taurus makes a Barrett 92 copy!
 
Hank, be careful.

I'd hate to hear that you lost money. You said:
Bet them that there is no such thing,

You see, in the area of logical arguments, you can't actually win such a bet. There is no way to "prove a negative". You can prove that you don't have evidence that XYZ exists, but all you have proven is that you don't have evidence. The big-mouth you are dealing with can still claim that XYZ exists, there is one for sale in the next city, it was just removed from a Gunbroker auction etc.
