Yuppie came in the shop today....

[runco]

I work with many yuppies that would fit the mold of the OP.  For years, I have been a closet gun nut, but since Sandy Hook, I have came out, and they are shocked!  "....I had no idea you were so hard core".   If my employer allowed it, they would see a gun on regular basis, and I guess they would be worked in a lather of fright or become gun lovers!

I hate being asked "Why?"
It irritates me, sometimes, when my kids ask me "Why?"

BUT, it pisses me off to no end when an adult asks me "Why?".

 

It's as if I've misbehaved or something....

[RobertNashville]

...It is sad people. Sad. You ain't gotta be a gun nut like us. I ain't big fan of driving nails but I own a hammer. I hate diggin ditches but I got a shovel. It's just a tool you hope you don't have to use but it sure sucks when you ain't got one.....and you're on the spot, in need of one. Why is that hard to understand? Where does this sense of "Avoidance will make me safe" come from? These are the people who will hide in the bathroom or basement when a volcano erupts. Yeah, duck and cover! Idiots.

Rant over.

Hey now, I drive nice vehicles too, not BMWs but certainly that price range so let's lay off the anti-nice-car comments, okay???  :)

I'll bet this guy was well under 40 years old, maybe even well under, right???

I think it's time we all come to grips with the simple fact that our entire education system from kindergarten through graduate school has an agenda to convince students that "guns are bad" and I'll bet this fellow learned exactly that so of course, he was appalled that you "had a gun"; after all, he's probably been taught that for years and years. I know, this is Tennessee but Tennessee isn't immune to this educational brainwashing.

 

Only parents and uncles and such can counter that teaching...Reagan said "freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction"...the same is true when it comes to a love and appreciation of the right to keep AND bare arms.

 

Now, if you'll forgive a little bit of criticism - I think this encounter could have gone a little better if you had been a little less confrontational and a little more educational.  I know it's difficult to do when confronted with stupidity but I suspect that this guy simply went away more convinced of his own position than he was inclined to consider yours which means his kids are likely to think the same way and, unfortunately, they'll be voting someday (of the country lasts that long). ;)

One point of clarification.... BMW cars are bimmers. BMW motorcycles are beemers. Carry on....

Robert, I understand exactly what you're saying and some of me agrees with you. ....most of me however has decided I'm not going to lie to myself or other people any more and the truth is, 2/3's of my life is over. I don't care what others think anymore. I have no kids, no family and while I hope and pray all my TGO brethren (and their children) have long happy lives, I just don't care. I don't owe so e yuppie or his spawn an explanation. I don't have to answer to him or anyone else. I've decided to die the man I am right now. I like this guy so I'm going down with him.

I know when I speak my mind, some of y'all get plum ashamed of me, Thats fine. I don't fault ya for it. I just do not believe anything will change in this country. Not peacefully anyway. Caring creates burden. Having a care to try to change the minds of those that oppose us is just more than I'm willing to give anymore. We have to be careful of what we say in open forums and all but I'll tell anyone this much; I DO NOT want any from of violent action. I DO NOT want to see people get hurt and die because we can't agree. BUT, I WILL NOT change, I will NOT give up my weapon and if you try to make me I will do my best to ........use it for what it was designed to do.
I want to die an old man and on my death bed be able to say I never hurt anyone. .... If I can't do that, I'll get over it.

I'm not a 'bury my head in the sand' apathetic loser. I see what's going on, I know what needs to be done. I just think its too little too late.

Can anyone HONESTLY look me in the eye (err uh, computer screen) and tell me they really believe things will get back to the way they were? Edited May 4, 2013 by Caster

[Caster]

As for the bimmer, Beemer, whatever. Sorry. LOL

Oh and Robert, I wasn't hatin on vehicles. It was just a little profiling is all. I don't say it to intentionally brag but my Toyota FJ cost every bit as much if not more than his little 3 series Bimmer. .....and I can run over his azz like a speed bump LOL

P.S.  If your life is 2/3rds over then I've been dead for ten years.  :dropjaw:

No...I can't

I'm 36. Following a logical progression (regression might be a better word) along the timeline of my life; how I feel now versus a few years ago versus over how I felt when I was a kid.......I am not interested in living much past 60-65.

[JohnC]

God, I sound like Al Bundy. You know "a fat woman came in the shoe store today...."

Well this BMW driving goober with his nice clothes, metrosexual attitude and three little fairies for sons came in. I was putting a tire back on the car when one of the little kids ran back to his daddy and says "daddy, daddy, that man has a gun!!!". The man told the kids "Thats called an impact wrench, it looks like a gun but it only works on cars. It's perfectly safe". To which the kid replies, "No daddy, he has a REAL gun".
The man the asked me(quite appalled ) " Sir, wha, wha, why uhhhh, Do you have a gun?".

I says "Yeah, don't you?"
He tells me "NO! I don't allow my family anywhere near firearms."
I told him " Huh, well how does that keep your family safe from someone who don't give a ratz azz what you believe in? You know, they call them criminals for a reason, they don't care about laws, right or wrong. You think a criminal will wait around while you call the cops and then wait a little while longer till they get here? What you THINK means nothing, you chose to have a family and you're charged with their safety. Can you honestly tell me youre doing everything to provide it?"


...he probably won't be a repeat customer. Oh-frickin-well.

It is sad people. Sad. You ain't gotta be a gun nut like us. I ain't big fan of driving nails but I own a hammer. I hate diggin ditches but I got a shovel.
