Got into a confrontation at the Sportsmans Warehouse in Loveland today...

[ZERO THEORY]

And we have definitely raised a "tattle generation." Instead of minding anyone's own business people feel the need to report stuff that doesn't affect them at all

I was once wheeling with my cousin in an undeveloped lot that had been rutted and pitted by the owner for 4x4 use. There are four climbing hills of various grades, two mud pits, and a few deep tracks that get super muddy in spring/fall. It's a well-known spot that the owner has left for people to wheel in, but it has a private property sign posted.

While we were wheeling our rigs, I see this women on the road that leads there parked and holding her cameraphone out to record us. I wave and assume she wants to capture some footage of Jeepers playing around. As we go to leave, she pulls in front of the usual exit. It's clear that she's actually trying to film us to incriminate us, and I roll down my window.
Me: "Can you move?"
Her: "Hope you know I called the cops."
Me: "That's nice."

Apparently dopey didn't realize we could just as easily drive over a curb as we could the boulders and ruts. We left and I was properly annoyed. It's obviously not her land, it's not public land, and it effected her life in NO WAY. Why do people feel the need to interfere and get involved with stuff like that?

I then told him that whether or not he realizes it HIS guns are next.

Um.....don't diss your gunsmith....just sayin'.

I thought their policy was to check any firearm that was going to be serviced and CCW did not need to be checked.

This.

It's a control thing. I could understand if you were destroying something or harming someone. I get called for kids on dirtbikes in nearby fields all the time from April to October. The first thing I get told when I call the reporter of this heinous crime is that they know it's against our ordinance. On top of that I usually have to remind them, 9 out of 10 times, that the person riding the dirt bike is not in city limits. However, when I tell them "who cares" when it is our jurisdiction, you can bet that will be a complaint.

Fucking busy-bodies, man. The whole lot of 'em. What did the dork in the OP care if Johny was carrying? It's obviously legal, and he obviously didn't have any ill intention. No one was being at risk by his jacket riding up a bit.

Are these people really that unhappy/in need of control that they just have to be involved in something?

[Great-Kazoo]

Yes, we call them democrats

Top lel.

schadenfreude

Seriously.

[trlcavscout]

Shoulda beat his old ass right in front of everyone and told him to mind his own business. Or at least laughed at him and told him to fuck off. He was probably some grouchy old pickle puffing democrat trolling the man stores looking for a date when you scared him with your gun.

In my opinion, these people who are so offended by the sight of someone carrying a gun, are the same people who think because you're carrying a gun, you're going to start shooting as soon as you get annoyed. It's the same illogical thinking, that tells them that allowing teachers to carry at school, will result in more school shootings.
