Gun pet peeves

[twinbrook86]

The story about mrhappys shotgun, being handle without his permission got me thinking

Even though no one has handled my firearms with out my consent, I know it would bother me, however always offer others to try them out.

So what are your biggest gun related pet peeve? Weather it be the way something's cleaned, gun shows, gun stores, anything

[BigMike]

Hearing people ramble off MA non-sense that isn't law.

 

[Boris]

1. Calling a 4 gun collection an "arsenal"

2. ATF calling mis-shaped bits of metal a "machine gun"

3. People making guns "safe" by de-milling them

 

[boxerjake77]

Not really a pet peeve, but if I hear " is it loud " again.....

 

[George D]

People who ask, "why would anyone need a XXXX?" when you mention anything about guns.

 

[MisterHappy]

That I have neiter the room nor $ for all the ones I want!

 

[BillO]

People who say "Don't worry, it isn't loaded" without actually checking.

 

[Twigg]

Bipods on carbines. Really ??? LEARN TO SHOOT !

 

[BearArms]

On the rare occasions that I've shot at AFS, I've had a couple people walk over and pick up my guns to check them out. Drives me insane. This was also done by one of the RO's over there.

People who ask, "why would anyone need a XXXX?" when you mention anything about guns.

This also drives me crazy.

My biggest pet peeve is that they cost so much only because a Clambag is in the whitehouse

AFS's expert employee's, and gangsta customers really grind my gears.

Well, AFS in general.

They really chap my ass sometimes when they start spouting drivel, especially when someone asks "Which ????? is best". It's obvious most of them are just spouting only what they've read somewhere else.

[Maninblue1861]

Rich douchebags, who criticize my WWII milsurp as junk compared to their 10k hunting rifle, then seem miffed when it rains and they sit on their thumbs waiting it out while I blast away with a garand, carbine, bar ect with water pouring out of actions, and barrels streaming to show who's guns are really junk that can't handle a Lil water

 

[Alchemist17]

People who ask, "why would anyone need a XXXX?" when you mention anything about guns.

People who ask "why would anyone need an XXXX?", regardless of if it's gun-related. I likely don't "need" it, I want it or have chosen to buy it. Unless you are my wife, you have no right to tell me what I'm "allowed" to have or what I "should" have. If it's legal, something I want, and I can reasonably afford it I'm going to feel free to buy and use it at my discretion. The fact that you disagree makes no difference to me.

[bostonasphalt2]

Brass rats, who even after you tell them to piss off once, continue trying to snag your brass while you are shooting. Can't stand them, make me angry just typing about them.


Oh, my other pet peeve: Northeast Traders. Choads.

 

[bostonasphalt2]

Oh, another one. People who misleadingly advertise classes (example: carry in X states class, when really it is the UTAH CCW class)

 

[BradM]

What Like said, people who "quote" MA law and don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

 

[Prepper]

People who say "autoloader" instead of "semi automatic", usually no-nothing idiots who are posting youtube videos and trying to sound like they know big words.

Idiot reporters who say "automatic" instead of "semi automatic".

Idiot reporters who attempt to explain what semi automatic is in their report, by exclaiming something retarded like "this gun will fire bullets as fast as you can pull the trigger" while having a horrified look on their face.

[Tyke]

My biggest pet peeve is that whenever I pull the trigger on my Glock it explodes. I don't get it...can anyone help?

 

[Nicole]

People who think I can't handle a gun because I have two X chromosomes. Classic example:

Someone offered to let me take a few shots out of their 1903. Yay! I picked up the gun and was getting it positioned when a guy walked up and told me I needed to use "protection" (really emphasizing that word) if I was going to shoot. I had on very visible muffs and safety glasses so I was at a bit of a loss...I just stared at him trying to figure out what he was talking about...I couldn't figure out what other "protection" he could be referencing...honestly, I started to wonder if he was actually implying I needed birth control in order to hang out at the range...???... He stared back and then tapped his shoulder - "Protection! That gun is too big for you, it will hurt you, you need more clothes on!" It was summer - I was wearing a normal tshirt. Yeah, okay. I think I can handle the .30-06 for a few rounds, seeing as how I had just finished shooting an hour of trap with a 12 gauge.

 

[Gator9329]

People on TV who shoot 30 rounds out if a revolver without reloading.

Cop shows that have 2 people shooting from inside a car out the window while talking normal.
