“1911s [that aren’t .45s] suck and need to be cancelled.”

Now it is.

Super great, thought out reply ya got there!

There. Is that Fuddish??

But many are jackasses about what other people shoot.

They’re not looking for acceptance of their preferred pieces, they want you to revel in their brilliance for being the one who enlightened you.

I like guns for gun’s sake. They are interesting in their mechanics and operation.

I may carry a modern rendition of a semi auto for defense but I may also carry a wheel gun or older auto design on occasion.

Those that say “all handguns should be 9mm and all 9mm handguns should be a Glock” are often the biggest jackasses of all.

They have found their one tool and it’s all about training and tactics after that.

I’m carry a gun for defense, and sometimes I stick a 38 snub in my pocket or waistband. Live with it.

I’m not a rifle guy because rifles are not as portable as handguns.

The rifles I like usually have levers and short barrel because they are the most portable.

My home defense carbine is a 94 trapper in 45 Colt loaded with Corbon ammo.

If I want .223 then I go with mini 14 as I don’t care for pistol grips on long guns. Nothing against them, just not my preference.

On new calibers – there isn’t much that hasn’t been done. Is 6.5 creedmore superior to .308? Don’t care. At 100-150 yards it doesn’t matter.

If you shoot long-range sniper matches? Sure – get the latest hot shit. Just looking for a hunting rifle? Just about any center fire cartridge in a bolt rifle will make a whitetail fall down when you pull the trigger.

So if you find a cool rifle – 300 savage Remington 700 – buy 200 rounds of ammo and you are set for many years.

Saying you have to have the newest shiny thing or you’re a Fudd is just as bad as saying you’re a moron for buying the newest shiny thing.

I have been shooting for 50 years or so. I hear people say the same stupid stuff now that I head when I was 10.

I was told a handgun could not possibly kill a deer. And yet the first two deer I killed fell to a 357 magnum. Was it the best choice? It was for me.

Couldn’t hunt with a center fire rifle where I lived but the game warden told me a handgun was acceptable.

Now people tell me I can’t possibly defend myself with a 7 shot automatic (43) let alone a revolver. Makes me laugh.

Hard to know what you don’t know.

I support the 2nd amendment but ……..

See also I served in the military and no civilian should have access to……..

Either one tends to have fun reactions to being called a commie and told to fuckoff.

Is the narrow mindedness of Fudds annoying when it comes to claiming that certain platforms or calibers are the only correct choices? Sure. The much greater aggravation, though, is how Fudds support gun control and help bolster the “street cred” of civilian disarmament advocates.
