I’m sick of hearing gun owners say……

No doubt, but a difference needs to be drawn out from when you are in casual conversation and when you are in a direct tutorial. If I am casually talking with friends and someone says "I saw this guy on the news shooting and he swapped his clip and just kept going"...I probably wont say anything. But if I am at the range with someone who either should know the difference, or is a new shooter I am helping and they say "How do I put in the clip." then that is a teaching moment. I may correct them once or twice more, but I wont let them using the wrong term we all understand turn them off from shooting because of it.

I generally agree to an extent. I just don't see the need to teach strangers as long as they're being safe & not putting anyone in danger. Usually it will come off as condescending. I think MOST of the persnickity corrections mentioned in this thread fall into "casual conversation". If I'm PAYING for something (say a class of some sort) or the talker claims to be some sort of expert or authority figure, then yes I expect all terms to be correct.

I will, when I finally get a chance to take a day or so away from the family and work, I plan on coming down there and "educatin" yall on real world tacktical ninjering using real world scenarios. Not these "Ok, its 2 in the morning, I hear a bang on the door, so I grab my vest, night vision, spare mag pack, helmet, range finder, dog leash, and a bag of chicken nuggets.

No, real world "HALF NAKED BEARDED FAT MAN" tripping over his kids toys and falling on the floor in the hallway while screaming like a girl...freakin operator yo...

“I support the 2A, BUT...” drives me nuts.

I am guilty of using the term “weapon” but I believe I use it in the correct context, I only call my firearms “weapons” if I’m talking about being armed in some form or fashion, but whatever tool I’m using is a weapon, any other time I call it a rifle, AR etc.

Once you move through DeltaNinjaSeal training you progress to the next level of badness. Room clearing naked, bandoleer full of flash bangs and two tomahawks. Very few have reached this stage of tactical awesomeness. Booger, you may be ready....

How do you think your niece feels about being condescended to every time she approaches you about the subject? Do you think this attitude makes her more or less likely to go ahead with getting her permit?

Ah, I see. You're missing the point. She is a tough as nails woman made in the exact temperament as her father. Her "Yeah" is short for "Yeah, conceal & carry." No condescension intended, none taken and no lessons learned. I will endeavor to continue.

That so small time. Last year, I made less than a million.

This year, I expect to make less than two. :rolleyes:

Just be careful with it when the "long lost uncle" comes through. In my case it was an aunt who left my wife 1.1 million at a time when no inheritance tax was required. :D:D:D
We had fun for a while, but now I am working to pay the bills because social security doesn't cut it.:(:(:(
 
I almost married a girl whose father had over $350,000,000. She was not ugly at all, but I knew that I would have to earn every cent I got from her in a rather annoying way. I passed on her and eventually married my wonderful wife who is rich in other more important ways.

I’m a little less happy. :(
 
People say money can’t buy happiness. Which may be true. But I’ve never seen someone frowning while driving a lambo away from the gun store

What really sucks is that lambos cost so much these days I am pretty much going to have to reserve the whole 3rd million just for the car.

I sometimes say, Maybe money can't buy you happiness, but it can rent it. :D
 
Money may not buy happiness, but I've never seen a sad person on a jetski.



Back to the thread topic. I hate: "just save up more and buy something better/more expensive/like what I have." Budgets don't work like that.

I always like CCW. Weapon is a bit broad a term huh. :eek: It is a Concealed Carry Handgun class. The permit is the Concealed Handgun Permit. When i teach a class i go over this and no you cannot carry concealed knives, nunchuks, SMG's, grenades, etc. legally with your permit. People have some weird ideas.

The most annoying thing I have ever heard was my veteran father in law talking about how anything you can hold is a weapon and it is only a gun if it is on a ship. If my brother in law said gun instead of weapon he was corrected. It blew my mind.
