Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

[KenLee]

Was leaving the range today, and the guy who had been chatting a little and eyeballing my rifle asked what caliber it was.

6.5cm

"What do you hunt with?"

"This"

"6.5 is big enough to kill deer?"

Should have told him you shoot em in the head

Right in the eye, cleanest most ethical kill

When inquiring about a pistol with a manual safety:

"Your finger is the safety"
"Glock is the safest handgun made"
" You dont want to get killed over forgetting to take off the safety"
"1911s are the only guns that should have safeties"

Heard all that on Rokslide too.

Old guy at work keeps talking about his Vietnam vet buddy that filed the firing pin down to make it full auto. I always say “no way that’s badass”. He has no clue that I own a transferable.

Nature heals itself with time...that level of stupidity is fairly self-correcting, thanks be to Darwin.

Yeah, but that takes a while. Some people should never be allowed to breed NOW !

My son and I were looking at rifles in sportsman’s and the gun counter guy told us we should look at the Ruger PC carbine for a youth hunting rifle.

He should have recommended the PC charger

“That’s an interesting choice. What about the PC carbine makes it a good youth hunting rifle?”

For those of us that don't know, what do you mean by a transferable?

A fully automatic weapon made before 1986 that can be owned by civilians.

Once heard a guy at the gun store telling someone that the 6.5 creedmoor wasn't good for deer hunting because it was so fast that the bullet didn't have time to expand and just went straight through without killing the deer. That's why he lost a bunch of deer.

He's probably not wrong about that one..

That singular black bear that wandered through Davenport four years ago was probably a DNR plant also lol...Although, I wouldn't mind a huntable bear population in the NE corner/driftless region of the state.

 

[KenLee]

Gunstore employee with a open top cross draw leather holster told me that Iowa DNR had been releasing wolves to limit the deer population.

SC DNR would be doing this at instruction of car insurance companies if it weren't for all the horse and Yorkie Mamas who would put hits on the wardens and CEOs.

Shop that’s a Scilencer Shop associate, I did my prints through.

Nothing! No dudes in too tight t shirts carrying hog legs in thigh holsters, well stocked, decent prices on everything.
Nobody telling me to bore out my new to be suppressor to fire rifle grenades. No dipshits at the counter pointing guns at each other. Nobody talking about “knock down power” or needing a .30 caliber to rabbit hunt.
Almost completely normal!

I heard an old man with dementia claim that a 9mm blows the lung out of the body. Fortunately, he wasn't in charge of anything important...

That same guy said an ar15 will decapitate a person. He must have read the 223 for deer and elk thread.
