I won't even start on his stories about his buddies that are all Army Rangers.
Seriously...does EVERYONE work with someone like this?!
An older gentleman that I work with who knows everything about everything once told me, "Before my eyesight got bad, I used to be able to shoot an egg off of a fencepost at 50 yards with my .38. I wasn't using the damn sights either! This was right outta the holster from the hip...BAM! I used to be able to out Dirty Harry Dirty Harry. And that's the F------ truth!"
He also talks about "SK47s" and "AKSs" that he encountered in Vietnam.
And...of course...he is one of the guys that talks about .410 slugs being able to drop deer at 400 yards, and that's why they are illegal.
Okay, so here's my gunstore story...
I was walking around the sporting good's store where my brother works in the gun department. I had about 8 boxes of Blazer Brass .45ACP in one of those little shopping baskets. My brother was talking to a guy about a shotgun that he needed worked on. I saw my brother take it out of the case, and it was an 870 with a Surefire forend. I figured the guy is probably LE. I hung around the area looking at boring stuff on the shelves so that I could hear the conversation. It quickly went from " I need you to take a look at my shotgun" to the guy bitching about guns and gun owners. Mainly how people don't need ARs and handguns...that's just for law enforcement. Then I hear him say, "...and you have people like THAT...they come in here and buy boxes and boxes of cop-killer bullets!" I turned my head and saw that he was pointing at ME! I walked over to engage in some conversation with him, and I noticed that he did indeed have a badge on his belt line. I said, "excuse me?" He says, "Heck we don't even use .45s let alone BLAZER ammo!" My brother, wanting to defend me (bless him) says, "Sooooo...what you're saying is....you guys are too pussy to use .45s?" I start laughing a bit. The cop then says, "I'm glad you guys think my job is funny. Son, do you know how many cops have been killed with the exact same ammo that he is holding?!"
My brother advised him that he can go somewhere else to get his shotgun worked on...then as the guy was leaving, my brother yelled, "Be careful out there, bud!"
We had a beer together over that one.
