Never the less, in certain progressive circles the use of the word 'thug' is considered to be the 'n' word. As in, white boys are deliberately hiding their (alleged) racism in plain sight.

I am really losing faith in the "gun community." Armlist, Florida Gun Trader, et al are full of scammers, idiots, or ignorant people. Tired of seeing Glocks listed for $650 (well shit, we've got one for $800 in our own EE right now) or Bushmaster ARs with Bushnell scopes listed at $2350. Talk about useful idiots. About the only thing I appreciate is the barrage of anti-Democratic harassment they unleash when new gun laws are spoken of.
I tried to make friends with some gun guys my age (early 20s to early 30s) but they're all firefighters who "wanted to be a Marine, but didn't". That should have been a clue. Only pussies say "I wanted to be a Marine, but chose to be a firefighter instead" because you obviously have the health to do it. I also realized too late that they have homosexual tendencies and they're stupid. Seriously. They went to Vegas and 4 guys shared two beds. No one got pussy. :confused: I have to listen to them talk all day long about why carrying a .22LR makes sense because "Shot placement is all that matters with handguns" and brag about how they get more "practical" medical training as a medic for a FD than "Corpsman and Medics do in the military". We live in Florida. 99% of FD calls are for old ladies with "Hand pain".
The worst though is going to gun stores. They make a bee line for the most homosexual, "look-at-me" firearm variants in existence. Glock 19? Nope. Colt 6920? Nope. Beretta PX4 Storm? Oh yes. It's the best handgun in the world because "it was designed with new technology". What in the **** does that even mean?
I tried telling them for literally 18 months to ditch their Eotechs and get Aimpoints. "Nah man, the 1 moa dot is more precise than aimpoint and the circle brings your eye toward it." I explained how they were wrong. Then, boom, the news breaks that Eotechs are POS's and "Yeah I sold all my Eotechs. Aimpoints are so much easier to use with one single dot". :rolleyes: And when I mention that I had said that for 18 months I get a "Yeah, but it was working for me." So why did you sell it? Whatever. Don't take advice from the guy who actually had a gun for work. What do I know?
The absolute worst (and I am digressing) are the range trips. Literally wearing flip flops and basketball shorts with hot brass going everywhere and PX4 storms carried IWB. Guns falling into the dirt left and right because the shorts won't hold them up. Constantly hearing xxx brand is "just as good as BCM/Colt/Noveske/Glock"
Anyway, yesterday we were at a LGS when one of them said "I am going to make my own lightning link out of a hacksaw blade and kill Hillary so she won't be president." Out loud, to an employee, in front of other customers, on audio/video from surveillance cameras. I. Was. Floored.
I didn't make a scene. I quietly said goodbye, went home, and blocked them all in my phone. There wasn't even a falling out among us. I just stopped talking to all of them and we spoke almost every day. It was too stressful being friends with them. They've got private land and awesome 4x4s but it's worth not being around people like that.
Let me guess, why they didn't enlist was because they would "fight" a DS/DI for yelling at them? God I hate when I hear people say that.
More "practical" training, ahahahahaha! That is hilarious. Most of them do not know how to properly place a TQ let alone know what to do when someone has tension pneumothorax. Besides, I don't know of any medical trauma training being more practical than another unless one is out dated.
I guess you don't know what you don't know.
Look on the bright side. Without people like that who would you point to when your trying to teach your son how not to act.

Holy shit. I'm no fan of Hillary and I wouldn't shed a single tear if she was somehow removed from the living but you DO NOT make threats against a government official, especially at a gun store. Technically the employees who heard that are required to report that as a threat.
Dude. What is it with hockey and scumbags? Now that I'm older it's not as bad, but I've been on skates since I was 3 or 4 (either that or gymnastics in the good old USSR) and when I stared playing travel in the U.S. at age 15 or so half the team were totally whiskey tango thugs. I mean I can imagine basketball being worse, but why hockey?
Why do you hang around those types? Now im only 22. About to be 23, the people I hate the most are the college idiots who think its all about them drive trucks lifted with their daddys money, and listen to florida-georgia line. The stereotype is very real..... Douchebags. They also have dpms sporticals with sightmark red dots with all the accessories you can stick on a $20 academy plastic rail....
Seconding Euro's sentiments and adding to it...
Another annoyance are first year or so rookie police going through their Tackleberry phase. Guys that constantly quote James Yeager or some Magpul video but then get booted out of a legit patrol rifle course for trying to be all Seal Team 6 with whatever AR they bought.
Honestly the only people I shoot with are people I've known for years.
If you're going to train you should have the basics down super cold well and long before you start C clamping your rifle and getting all Chis Costa on it.
Then there are the doofuses that put punisher skulls on their stuff. Their guns but still it looks pretty brokeback to me.
Or guys that get an AK and instantly transform into a Spetsnaz GRU commando.
But being positive, if you get a chance to shoot with an old timer with a well worn Model 10 or Model 15 revolver, he will ding X-rings all day.
As per volly firemen and their Doogie Howser medical training, less said the better. A LOT are tantamount to literally a one day Red Cross CPR/First Aid class.
There are, however, some switched on EMS folks to include actual doctors who moonlight as EMTs who I've seen literally raise the dead.
But yeah, guns, lifted trucks, stereos, motorcycles, and blondes bring out a million kinds of stupid in people.
