This wasn't anyone here, RIGHT????

Of course if someone badmouths your choice of hardware at the range you can challange them to a "duel". Bullseye targets, off hand at 25 yards. Just tell them to put their money where their mouth is.


Speaking of zealots.
What about the Amiga people who are still impatiently awaiting the second coming?

When I encounter someone shooting a gun make or model I don't like, I just keep my darn mouth SHUT.

Why insult some stranger for no reason at all? It just makes no sense.

(Of course, if it's one of my buddies, the gloves come off. )

This sort of discrimination and Beretta-profiling is just plain wrong. I call for an affirmative-action program to set up quotas of more Berettas at ranges.

How about just offering to let him shoot a few rounds through your gun? It might change his mind about your "brand"; and who knows, you might just make yourself a new friend/shooting buddy!

Hey, I had an Amiga!

Somebody sounds jealous that their 'puter wasn't as cool as mine.

I had one with a 40mhz '030 and a 120MB scsi drive and PC emulator - hot stuff. (so dont go assuming )

But Amiga people where the biggest zealots of all nerds - hands down.

I think its funny people get more worked up about someones hardware than they do about religion or politics.

Personall, if it aint a 1911 or at least a single action auto or a nice revolver, I have no interest in it and I don't want to shoot it - but you can own all the uninteresting guns you like and it does not bother me

It ain't the gun, it's the gunner . . .

Sounds like insecurity and immaturity with a side of bad manners. I wouldn't dis someone's choice of firearm out of hand. One man's meat is another man's poison, we've all got to live within our means and sometimes make do with what we've got. I let my targets do my talking, and it seems to work out that somedays you give lessons, some days you take them.

In virtually every field of endeavor I've dabbled in there always seems to be a class of person who tries to substitute money for diligence, discipline, and perserverance. Rather than take the time and make the effort to become thoroughly familiar and well practiced with their gear, they go out and buy a more expensive "better" one when whatever they've got hasn't turned them into a top contender. A fool with a tool (regardless of how fine a tool), is still a fool.
