I know, I know, it is CALIBER! I always hit the wrong letter and don't re-read what I typed before I post it.

 

Brembo are too expensive for me, I use Wilwoods, I'm cheap! Strange actually makes the best race brakes, but I can't afford them, and my guns too!

 

Calipers, calibers, two words with too many meanings!

I dont mind if a guy is dumb or inexperianced, but hate when they lie or are a douche.

Wait, you actually go to the range?

 

Is this someone from OT? Probably not though, everyone there is a triple platinum expert on everything.

 

I'd probably totally steer clear of that outing at all costs.

1. I wouldn't want to deal with the douchebaggery and attitude, whether its under the auspice of supervisor or just one of the gang. No matter what, he'll probably grumble about this or that and butting heads with those people is a near insurmountable obstacle.

2. Don't want to offer up my equipment for thier "abuse", especially from the wrong-handed a**-hatter who would probably very loudly vocalize his disdain for the hardware supplied to keep his image of mr know-it-all. "This gun sucks, i'm not wasting my time with it!"

3. Unless your a member of a private range, you're gonna have to go somewhere busy and divide the time up/money to just take turns babysitting the misery. Its ok with 1 or 2 (if they're open-minded) but big groups mean very little shooting.

 

I do this from time to time but since i belong to a range where its never busy, its ok in that regard. That and i only bring folks with a positive attitude who i know will enjoy the experience. I never do much shooting for myself on those days but its about my guests on those trips so i'm fine with it; I get my fill on other days.

I used to go all the time before you stopped calling! Actually I'm heading up to my cabin this Friday, and I'm bringing a few guns that I haven't had a chance to fiddle with yet.

 

 

He's not an OT guy, just someone I've played poker with a few times. Friend of a friend of a friend.

I stopped calling cuz *I* stopped going too. At least to Range 14... Too much waiting, too little shooting. Now that i go to Monmouth, i'll give u ring sometime soon as we can shoot to our hearts content there, its always available.

if he will not take no for an answer.. your best bet would be to saw your own arms off.. then say sorry.. guess I can't go... that would be far batter than taking that individual to the range..

 

unless of course you have an extremely high level of patience.. then you might want to educate him...

 

 

I think it is hysterical that someone gave me a -1 for something that was obviously a joke..

Stop laughing, took care of it, I got the joke.

Aw damnit. I totally wanted to buy a 92FS, but I need some kind of mask or something now so it doesn't blow gas in my face.

 

Holy crap, I just had an idea. Quick, everybody get some guy like that dumbass the topic creator met and it'll be like Dinner For Schmucks at a range.

AH.. all the love I feel here..

I don't hang out with people that put themselves on pedestals, period. If you have to constantly remind people of how "Cool" you are, chances are your a total poser. My problem with people like this is that they don't think about practically anything, and do stupid things because they think their being "cool". I would say if he is this dumb running his mouth, chances are he will do something equally stupid with a gun in his hand.

I was at a BBQ over the weekend with some friends and a few other people that I've met, but don't know too well. Apparently they were planning an indoor range trip, as most of them have no firearms experience, and as it turns out, I'm the only one who actually owns guns.

 

The one guy that's talking about organizing the outing is talking my ear off about how much he shoots .40 at the range. I ask him if he's into reloading, and he assumes I'm talking about loading the gun himself. Then, when he finally understands what I'm asking him, he tells me no, that you need a permit to reload your own ammo.

 

That's when he tells me he only shoots rentals at the range, and only shoots revolvers because he says pistols shoot gas in his face. He also tells me that left handed pistol shooters have to find left handed pistols because otherwise the brass will eject into their face, and that he has friends that have gone to gunsmiths to have their right handed pistols converted.

 

Yeah. Now I don't really want to go to the range with this guy. He also couldn't stop talking about how he works for the government, pretending to be some kind of secret agent.

 

 

Run away before its too late, I'm all for assisting friends breaking thier "fear" of guns, but they have to want to try and be able to listen.
