Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

[svivian]

With the left become more radical, I am starting to size up some of the visitors at my local. At what point do we as a community run off the antifa-John Brown gun club types?

lets keep this thread open.

If you feel that compelled about the topic, try starting another thread

I wonder why someone with the username "General RE LEE" would specifically hate John Brown and want to deny certain people their constitutional rights...

Weirdly enough I've heard this said about the 6.5 Creedmoor 2-3 times in the past couple months while at a gun counter.

I've heard the same thing about the creedmoor at a gun store. A couple of customers were telling the clerk how it's no good for hunting. I just kept my mouth shut and went about my business not wanting any part of that conversation.

Went to a 100 yard range for the first time in a while. Guy next to me pulls out some big braked magnum and a lead sled. "Shoots 1/4" at 500"

Then my hat just about got blown off every time he shot. Super annoying.

What?

I worked part time in a gun shop right after I got off active duty. We had people come in the night before deer season ,they would buy a gun, scope ammo , and ask me to bore sight it. That would be close enough for anything under 400 yards. Hate to say it, but I heard that more than once. Had a younger guy come in once for ammo. I asked him what he needed and he said. 7mm. I ask him which 7mm. He got jacked and said to get someone over to help him that knew something about guns. I said I could name about 10 different 7mm cartridges off the top of my head and we carried about 6 or seven of them. He said "f you" im not buying from liars and dumba##/$! and he stormed out. Hope he had the day he deserved at another shop!

I may or may not have cracked a shot off at something out the passenger window, from the drivers seat with my AR...with no ear pro. Although, I dont know how much difference it would have truly made if I was wearing it.

I know of a fellow Game Warden who took a call for an injured deer along I-80 in our home county. He found the deer along the roadway and it was struggling to get up. It was absolutely pouring down rain so he didn't want to get out of the truck. Put on his emergency lights, hit the button for the passenger window, and touched off a round to put the deer down, from the driver's seat. Our duty weapon at that time was a 4" Smith 686 .357 magnum with 145gr. Silvertips. The blast and shock wave scrambled him so badly he could barely get off the road. He couldn't hear anything, couldn't focus, and was not feeling well when a state trooper stopped to see what was going on. Needless to say, there were memos a flying from the Regional Office!
