What is your Biggest Pet Peeve

1. Have firearm + went to the range + wore a cap with velcro on the front + wore multicryesfoddcam= OAF
2. Gear above skill; looking cool will make up for your lack of training.
3. "When can we do more high-speed training, I'm tired of this basic stuff"
4. Kryptek
5. SME's and seasoned shooters talking down to new people (especially on here); you were dumb once too.
6. Reliance on past accomplishments. No one cares you were a delta marspecial seal forces operator, can you shoot/teach/bring something to the table today?

Tons of good posts here and I tend to agree with a lot of them. Someone pointed the "guy at the range blasting away at nothing". This brings me to my biggest pet peeve in firearms ownership(aside from anti gunners of course).

The gun owner that does nothing. He/she does not seek out information, vote, pay attention to gun laws (both state and federal), and obviously does not belong to the NRA, GOA, or any pro 2A organization. They are shocked when you tell them about proposed bills or even existing laws. I hate these types of gun owners the most.

Color filled engraving on guns.
As if that Spikes logo wasn't bad enough, you just had to go and fill it with red and white paint didn't you? Jeez...that shit makes me sick.

And those people who think you need a class 3 license to own an NFA item.

I mean, outside of the gun functioning it's the main mechanism that enables you to hit the target! Lol. Why would you put a sub standard optic on the gun?!!

I mean, if you're in a pinch the Primary Arms and Vortex are very durable optics and they are less than $200. I can't believe anyone would try to spend less than that on an optic.

I have to be honest I don't even like cheap optics on guns that are range toys only. You're still going to waste time with losing zero and other issues when you could be shooting.

+1 on cheap optics; I like good quality optics that will last me forever. however, I do have a Primary Arms red dot for my AR Pistol and it has been flawless.

I think I hate giving advice to friends and telling them to buy quality products, yet they usually show up with less than stellar stuff and claim "it was good enough and better than Colt, BCM, KAC, Larue, etc"

You mean everyone? I know its simply ignorance (I mean that in a nice way. Don't know what they don't know) but Jesus tap dancing Christ on a stick! I get questions about my "Class III" license all the time because I own NFA stuff. Then I explain that there is no such thing, the different FFLs and taxes. That is all followed by the usual, "Shit man I'll just make/buy whatever I want and if the gubment wants to say anything they can just molon labe derp derp derp" **** me, I'm going to pistol whip the next person that asks about my "machine gun" license, especially considering I don't own a MG

One of my biggest pet peeves: Anti-innovation.

It gets tiresome and makes the firearms industry boring to constantly hear how the AR, AK, etc, are just FINE, thank you, so anyone who comes up with some new rifle can turn it sideways and cram it. It's also annoying to constantly hear that we actually need to turn back the clock, ditch these plastic guns, and go back to what was used in the last era that used real guns (of which, of course, there's no agreement). This isn't to say that we need to embrace every new idea that comes along; more often than it, it's snake oil. But we have a long history of not embracing new firearm technology until it's being used to shoot at our troops. Suddenly, repeaters, semi-autos, assault rifles, and such aren't such a bad idea.

I grew up with the original Star Wars movies and I think my dad did a great job by giving me the "Imagine that there's a mile long lightsaber sticking out of your barrel" speech.

Interestingly enough, that is not dissimilar from what I was taught.

When I was a kid, my dad told me to imagine a laser that would cut anything it touched coming out of the muzzle.
