Adventures With a FUDD

Awesome.


Truth is, "OMG AR's is effin FUN!" is really the best way to convince someone (more so than "when the zombies/muslims/JBTs come I'll be ready").

Agreed. I missed an opportunity to do the same with a coworker a few years back. This same coworker went shooting with another coworker 2 years later and the second coworker had AR's. After shooting those AR's and learning about how fun, accurate and modifiable they are the first coworker went and had a nice one built at an LGS. The guy walked out of the store that day with a gorgeous high end AR that puts any I've ever had to shame.

Great job BG and thanks for sharing your experience - it's helped to remind all of us that we can change opinions one person at a time.

Truth.

My 15-22 and then stepping up to a .223 has converted more than a few Fudd's... It usually ends up with them wanting to buy or build an AR.

Funny story to hijack my own thread:

When I first moved into my place in Bailey, with plenty of acreage to safely shoot, I was sighting in a rifle for elk season. Apparently someone called the sheriff's department to complain about the shooting. Next thing I know, 2 PCSO deputies drive up my driveway and make their way over to talk to me. I knew them both from coming into my gun store. One of the guys had a big smile on his face and said he had something he was dying to show me. From his patrol car he retrieved a freshly issued, unfired, HK UMP-40. The kind with the fun switch. He said he really wanted to shoot it but didn't have ammo.

"Dude...I own a gun shop. I have ammo." A quick trip to the garage to procure a 1000 round case of .40SW American Eagle and we were in business. Damn near wore the thing out. I had 150 rounds left when we were done. Also fired a few mags thru a selective fire Winchester M-14 department gun. All in all, a really good, loud time.

Never had anyone call to complain about shooting after that.

I LOL.

Neighbor, "Yea, the cops showed up, and then we listed to automatic gunfire for an hour. Bastards."
