Another "lib" converted

[Guest tommy62]

This might be in the wrong section so I'll apologize upfront. I have a co-worker that is very liberal in his thinking. We are on opposite ends of the spectrum on nearly every topic including gun ownership. We have always been respectful of each others viewpoint so when he called me into his office and asked where he could get a gun, I was floored. He expalined that he and his family own a business that has been plagued by theft. He had 2 employees arrested and has been receiving threats. We went out at lunch and he purchased a Ruger LCR .357. He has already checked into training and HCP courses. I had to take his pic when he was fondling the gun at the store and filling out the backgrund paperwork. I told him I would "out" to the other liberals at work if he didn't get training.

I hope he votes "our" way come crunch time.

Don't get TOO excited, yet. Some of my craziest lib buddies are avid gunnies. Liking guns isn't a guarantee of the superior intelligence required to be conservative.

Perhaps we should adopt the drug dealer's strategy of "the first one's free". Once a liberal has a gun, he won't want to vote for people who might take it away. In the attempt of rationalizing that he wants to keep his gun, he will invent reasons to agree with other conservative causes so he can vote against gun-grabbers with a clear conscience.

Brilliant!

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Maybe after he gets a gun and learns to use it, he will scratch his head for the rest of his life

and think about all those liberal policies that caused him to need a gun. Then he will truly be

converted.

Yeah I know a lib or at least he votes that way because he's union. Seems he feels gun laws dont apply to him. carrys without a permit .

Brings up an interesting question. Report him or not? Staying away from the friend angle, on one hand we all pretty much agree it shouldn't be illegal, on the other it is and as law-abiding citizens one of our duties is to report criminal behavior.

[Clod Stomper]

I would not report someone for doing something that shouldn't be illegal anyway. Besides, as I've read on this forum many times, it's illegal for any of us to carry a loaded handgun. The permit is simply a defense.

As far as a gun-owning leftist changing his mind and voting for his gun rights, I wouldn't count on it. They're deluded to the point that they don't believe that even BO wants to restrict our rights. Never mind Fast and Furious, the UN Small Arms Treaty or whatever else will come out of Washington if The One gets re-elected.

[gregintenn]

it is and as law-abiding citizens one of our duties is to report criminal behavior.

Is it now? Where did you come up with that train of thought?

Many liberals have chameleon characteristics which are subject to change when it's to their benefit.

You've assumed there's a brain in there.

Fixed it.

To be fair, that trait is not exclusive to liberals - it's common across the spectrum...

True. I stand corrected.

[Guest RebelWithACause]

It's been proven time and time again that a sense of self preservation usually trumps political affiliation.
