Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Ummmm...why do people at work know that you CCW, and feel free to tell complete strangers about it?
It is not a stretch that someone who might hear this would want to go visit your house while they are 100% certain that you are not there.
They'd also be 100% certain to run into my wife holding an 870 Pump as well. That is if they could even get past my dogs.Originally Posted by XJ
I don't care if anyone knows I have a CCW, hell half the time I open carry.
ALot of guys I work with have one. I only do in those rare instances when it's not practical for me to OC. I really don't beleive in it though, i think the "Permit" should be repealed. We need to be more like Alaska and Vermont.

None intended Foxtrot. if anyone is willing to help out the uninformed, it's me. I'm always trying to convert people, and have done that quite a bit lately. I convinced my mother, at the age of 59, to shoot a gun for the first time in her life. She's always hated them, because she had an irrational fear of them.
I finally convinced her to come to the range with me, and just try out a dinky .22, and she flinched real hard when she pulled the trigger and then was like "Wow, that wasn't bad at all!" And then promtply emptied the whole magazine. Fast forward a year later, she now owns a .38 and shoots regularly. Even wants to go hunting.
I would have been more than happy to educate this gentelman, if he were sincere. He just kept arguing with me, telling me that I was wrong and "Someday I'd be arrested" Like someone else said, you can fix ignorant, you can't fix stupid.

If I were him, I would have called you an asshole also, then again I wouldn't be asking questions like that.
With that said, I still find it rather hilarious that my non gun owning friends think that I am required to have "papers" to even own my pistol. They are even more suprised when I tell that that the only "papers" required are if I were to carry the gun loaded and hidden while out in public.(not in vehicle) Most don't believe me that you can carry a loaded gun in your car however you want. Kalifornia Mindset indeed.
Assault is a type of behavior, not a type of hardware.
Why are you guys giving the OP shit?! He clearly stated in his follow up post that this guy is not a sensible/intelligent man and backed it up with the whole story. He then said he apologized for coming off as a dick. People here just like beating a dead horse I guess.
If confronted with the truth and you argue about it... I would have turned up the asshole-ness towards him or ignored him altogether. But I'm just a dick I guess. "F" him for being born so freaking terarted. Move on to the next potential cross over with a brain.
And don't buy into this ....you got to coddle people shit! Laws are laws. They are even written down on paper. If you can't read and believe...well I think I already covered this. Grown people aren't the ones "we" should be focusing on anyways. Its this guys kids. Hopefully he has none so not to pass the dumb gene.
Guess that will get a rebuttal......
Yep
It was obvious the dipshit knew nothing about guns, and just wanted to
something to lower his dweeb factor, YES PEOPLE ARE THAT STUPID, in
fact.. I had the same question put to me, AND THE JERK WANTED TO KNOW WHERE HE GOT THE LISCENCE FOR BULLETS..... I told him to take some EXLAX and it would majically appear... and then just walked away..
ROTF!!!!

Ignorance is not offensive, but when you combine it with arrogance, the result is stupidity, which others have asserted cannot (maybe should not) be fixed. I myself will endeavor to educate the ignorant, but am reluctant to attempt to help those that already "know it all".Want to help preserve shooting rights & have a future? DONT BE A Turd!everybody has been "stupid" and ignorant at some point regarding firearms. You just don't remember when you were. Had some asshat come along when you were in the ignorant stage and turned you off the hobby, you might not even be here at all, and you might be waving the "guns are bad mmkay" flag at capital hill.
Lesson to learn here: If they ask a stupid question, TEACH them the answer. Emphasize safety points. Theres an extreme lack of good experience in the firearm world, you can't blame people for NOT knowing. It's selfish not to share yours! It's okay to tease, it is NOT okay to be a turd, even if they act retarded. Now your one hash mark on the chalk board for him not wanting to own firearms at all - which then waters down to include his wife, his children in the future, his neighbors.. etc.
I don't mean to sound mean here or anything - I just hate seeing the "ignorance" of helping people in its own kind all around me. No offense intended.
He could actually be from California you know. They can open carry there, but the gun has to be unloaded.
"There are no finger prints under water."
I wasn't. I actually stated that I wouldn't be the one asking him questions, therefore would not be in a position to have a reason to call him an asshole. I worded it slightly different, but end result holds true.
