What I learned at the gun counter today.

My wife wants one of those micros. They are nice, but salty!!!

 

[Bubbajms]

I've yet to see one in person, but I hear they're pretty nice. More than I'd wanna spend, but hey, if anybody has one they don't like and are thinking about giving away, shoot me a PM.. I'll take it off your hands..

HMMMM...whoever you heard #'s 1 and 2 from sounds like a guy I used to know. The guy I know has a special federal permit to carry any weapon he wants, full auto or otherwise anywhere he wants, on commercial flights, into federal buildings even into the White House. It's very difficult to get this permit he says! He was also in the Hell's Angels and was special forces in Nam.

I've seen one of the .380 micros before and they are very cool looking. Just another reason why my paycheck is often gone before it gets here.

I'd have been hard-pressed to keep from saying something snarky, like "were you born that dumb or did you have to work at it?" in response to #1 and #2.

Were these employees at Big R or fellow customers?

-J-

Yes, I know him too. Here's his picture.

Customer. The employee kept his mouth shut, and finished his sale LOL.

Always get your legal advice from strangers on the internet, NEVER strangers in a gun store!

Funny thing that does resemble him......the strait jacket is a nice touch. I always pictured him in one.

 

[csnoski]

Uh, at the risk of sounding really dumb...HUH? What does #1 mean?

 

[CountryBoy19]

He's joking. The guy that told him these things is obviously blabbering BS that has no meaning. He has only come here to mock him. It is common to post about some of the crazy "gunshop lore" that we hear. These things are not true, and they're just some of the BS things that people spew from their mouths.

 

[Joe Williams]

There seems to be a myth going around that if you have a LTCH, you are prohibited by law from having the gun in the open. This gentleman was quite adamant about it.

 

[Beau]

That is to funny Joe. Thanks for the laugh. I wonder how these people come into their infinite wisdom. It must be the voices. They never lie.

 

[IndyGunworks]

someone on this board offered me a DE micro .380 for my lever action... thought pretty hard about it but had to turn down the offer... just not a .380 guy myself.

 

[IndianaSlim]

LMAO. I was in walmart yesterday doing the same thing, checking ammo prices and the like when the guy next to me struck up a conversation. About a minute into it, these are his EXACT WORDS. "You know, all these people running around with guns I'm glad the navy trained me to spot someone who was packing from a mile away." I nodded my head, walked away, and patted my G23 IWB......damn training must have worn off!! I wonder if everybody in the navy gets that training........nah couldn't be must have been one of the special ops classes!!

Well I feel cheated. Five years in the Navy and I never got that class. Shoulda went special ops.

 

[Bigum1969]

Sounds like what I learn every time I buy ammo at Wal Mart!

 

[stony]

Well since I had lived there for a great deal of my life I guess I can say, that theese people are everywhere in Crawfordsville. There are quite a few that I have known that can tell you every law in the book, as long as there the ones doing the writing.

 

[redneckmedic]

OTOH, I did see an interesting, tiny little gun today. A teensy, tiny .380 called the Desert Eagle Micro. I'm gonna have to study up on that, and think about buying one, just so I can say I have a Desert Eagle. "This is my .380 Magnum. It shoots through... well not much, but it's my Desert Eagle, dammit!"

They call it the noisey crickett!
