Your favorite bits of gunboard macho posturing?

I'd just like to quote this, from the hk91 forum:

Unfortunately I can not take credit for your courageous story. There are many stories like yours, I have personally saved the a%$-virginity of several young boys in my days. But there are many brave men like myself out there who risk their lives daily, so that boys like yourself can live a normal heterosexual life.

God bless the brave men and women of Mall Security everywhere :)
 
Well, uh, okay... I carry two folders every day. Not because I'm macho, but because I have two trouser pockets and I'm not sure which hand will be occupied when I need to open a box or "slit film over entree and beans, remove film over rice." :eek:
 
Dang you, Logan 5. Give a fella some warning next time. You purt near sent me back to "the home" with that one.

But the straw that broke the Camel's back was...
In my humble opinion, the best gear setup for {NRA smallbore/sporting clays/needlepoint/diaper changing} is a bucket with eyeholes, a whiffle bat, and some embroidery floss for garroting, with the Czech Skorpion machine pistol coming in a close second.

Laughing that hard is still extemely painfull. I haven't laughed that hard in in six months.


Hmmm I wonder what a TSRO for a Camel would look like?


Joe Demko,
Red Chinese robots are gay?

Only the green ones with the pattern 9 rivet pattern.
The remaining models are merely cheerful.
 
Thanks...

Ya know - that makes sense. :D

As I notice I have two pockets in my jeans too. I have one knife clipped to strong side pocket - INSIDE the other pocket is a small SAK. ( real pain to try to open that one with teeth and one-handed I might add).

OKay - I was NOT "posturing" when reached with weak hand and using crossdraw retrieved my clipped knife from strong side. I'm just not as smart as Tarmara...umm my strong hand was holding the Apple Pie that needed "slit".

Never said I was smart now did I ? :p
 
Wow, I am impressed. Almost as bad as what I had to listen to while working the counter at a gun shop. :) :p

...duct taped ceramic plates... :D Too bad there is no laughing smiley.
 
Thanks to this thread ( and all the hyperlinks laced through it! ) the last hour-and-half of work ( between X-mas and New Years is dead ) went by with much laughter and enjoyment!

:p :rolleyes:
 
I'm always taken by the juvenile posturing of ANTI-gunners.

They never need guns, will "break people's knees" with ballbats, are "masters of (insert martial art here)", have taken guns weapons away from muggers, etc.

The funniest example was an Australian guy way back in the early FidoNet days of the mid '80s. I had typically run rhetorical rings around him, humiliating him in the process. Losing control, as they frequently do, he told me, "Were you in the same room with me, I would break your nose!"

My reply: "Ah, behold the gentle pacifist..."

He was SO embarassed, he actually appologized to me.

Of course I'm also always tickled by neo-Nazis who ANONYMOUSLY post death threats, people's addresses and phone numbers and even maps to people's houses. Whenever one of these simpletons tries that stuff with me, I ALWAYS reply, "You know where I live. How come you're not here yet? Are you too dumb to follow your own directions, or just too scared?"
 
I suppose my favorite bit of posturing, is from those self appointed guardians of whats right and politically correct. Those that seem to have a difficult time differentiating between riding upon the High Road, and their High Horse.
You know the ones............. the pontificators, the "holier than thou" prim and propers.
 
I gotta admit....

Running across one of these older threads and seeing a post by the pithy, peppery,and provocative WildwilltheexileeverendAlaska makes me smile.
 
I wonder if any of these idiots change over time

Some do, some don't, and others go back to jail (without their assault wheelbarrows though).

Since that post was started I personally have seen change in some of the ones that used to posture, good change, and the ones who didn't are forever barred from most of the boards anyway.

Now it seems we are more in the doom and gloom era where the macho has left and the whining has begun.

But, on some of the lesser boards (newer), the armchair commandos have moved in until that faithful day when they too will over extend their welcome and have to move on.
 
I enjoy AR-15.com and I acknowledge that many members there are LEO or Military. I understand the need for a good solid dependable weapon.

That said I sometimes chuckle when someone whose only ever fired their weapon at the range wants to know if a certain accessory will "hold up in battle" or is "battle worthy" or some such nonsense. I guess its the assumption that they would hold up "in battle" long enough for their rifle to break that amuses me.

Suggesting expensive taticool gear to people asking for honest recommendations in hopes that the readers here will associate said gear with them and thus be impressed. For example I asked for peoples opinions on a good inexpensive revolver for my mom, just looking for a place to start in the revolver half of the gun store, and a guy starts recommending a FN 5.7 while another recommends the Mateba. I've seen a guy ask for an inexpensive truck gun and then told to get a SA Socom II in .308.

Most of the posts on any one of the thousand threads on here about shooting dogs.
Click to expand...

Or using pepper spray... or going hand-to-hand (mouth?) with a dog. Or just 95% of the "dangerous dog" or "I was attacked by a dog." threads.

Almost entirely from people who have NO idea what they're talking about, don't know dog behavior, and appear to be scared spitless by anything bigger than a chihuahua (which, statistically, is more likely to bite you than a Rotteweiler).
 
The people that anthramorphize their pets so much that they are willing to kill you for shooting them, yet do not care enough about their little pets to ensure that they do not become problems.
 
Anyone who purchases a firearm such as an AR or an AK has the right to be concerned about its quality and possible time between deployment and failure.

I understand this although the same could be said about any firearm, not just ARs and AKs.

I think I was at fault though for using the word "always".

Sometimes its perfectly understandable for someone want something like say a good flashlight at the end of their rifle. Especially if they plan to use it for home defence. Other times, in the right context, someone wanting to scrap their $100 mil spec buttstock for a $300 one that wont break if they ever have to use it to break down doors can be a bit much.

I was wrong to say always, I only laugh sometimes.
