Funny things anti-gun people will ask when they learn you are a gun owner...

[JeffShrugged]

I'm surprised you friend didn't leave with you. Who in the hell would want someone like that for a girlfriend. Guns aside what a total lack of manners to treat a guest to you residence this way!
There's a case of one turing into a 1st class b**ch before someone stupidly married her.

When I'm asked by the clueless why I carry a gun I give them the old reply to us "Because a cop is too heavy to carry around all day!" Most of the clueless have never heard this before.

It was an extremely uncomfortable situation. I was shocked and wondered where the hatred was coming from. She went from happy to see me to never wanting to see me again, literally. I would never treat an anti-gun guest in my home in such a way, but it was her home. I just left and waited for someone to call me to apologize. No one ever did.

Get their address. I am publishing a list of all the gun haters and unarmed folks in Crime Quarterly.

I spent most of my life in the Philadelphia/South Jersey area so I know the meaning of anti-gun. When I retired to Florida, I noticed a significant change in the overall attitude of my retired friends who are mostly retired FBI, police and military. Many of my freinds carry a concealed weapon and most of them practice at the range at least once a month.

Recently I had an oppurturnity to be in the company of my new Canadian neighbor. He is a large game hunter so I felt comfortable disussing hand guns. Needless to say I was surprized when both he and his wife seemed taken back when I mentioned that I own more then one hand gun and I have a concealed carry permit. They seemed shocked when they asked why I felt that I needed to own a hand gun. (The number of guns did not seem to be an issue) I responded by saying I felt it was better to have a gun and not need it, then to need a gun and not have one. Their unexpected response was that hand guns are alien to Canadians and they would never own a hand gun, let alone carry one.

I would be surprised if they were speaking for all Canadians but based upon their extreme over-reaction, they seem to be making the case that anti-handgun is a national attitude in Canada.

Spending considerable time on different forums and chat rooms, I've noticed people born & raised in the old British Empire have the brainwashed mindset that honest people don't have guns, especially handguns. My East African internet friends have been visibly upset when they see me on Skype as my revolver is often in view if I go get coffee during our conversation.

A lot of folks from countries that outlaw or heavily restrict guns have that fear of guns and/or anti-gun attitude. It's brainwashed into them and they bring it with them to the USA... and then they vote like they were still back home under oppressive government control.

My neighbors would be concerned to find someone around here that didn't have a gun.

Honestly I haven't been asked, most people I know are at least ok with guns even if they don't own them.

Now I've had a few "Why are you carrying that here?!?" To which my answer is, in case we will be in the news tomorrow.
Most of them are puzzled at that and just walk off.

 

[rwsmith]

Nope......

I've found that they aren't worth the breath or the 15 seconds of my life to answer them. They only want to criticize and refuse to listen to anything reasonable anyhow.

I think it's always worth a try to win a convert. If they don't accept, then.....

 

[rwsmith]

Just like it would be here....

Just like it would be here if guns were banned. They would be something to be afraid of because the only people with guns would be trying to kill you.

In a lot of those countries they use machetes to cut off people's hands, too. A gun is just a thing. It takes a person to add the evil to it, just like it does a machete.

My own mom, rabid liberal and feminist she is, never allows for facts and only allows for her agenda.

I saved my young family with a pistol many years back. When we told her about it, she said I shouldn't have had a gun. I asked her if she'd feel better about herself if I let us be killed? She said I shouldn't have had a gun. No winning with them.

So... recently I had a slow day and I went to the range to sight in a 24-3 and while at the range I got a call for a job near my mom's house. After that I stopped by mom's and helped her doing chores. She's 84, so I help her as often as I can.

Told her what I was up to, job after a range trip, stopped by to see her and she lost it!

Why do I have so many guns?! What makes me think I need them?! Yadda yadda yadda.

I asked her how many golf clubs she has. She indignantly said one set - like that's the right answer....

I told her she should have only one club, she didn't need all of them. One would be enough.

She said they all are for different purposes - so... I jumped in with EXACTLY, just like my guns! You shouldn't be wasting so much time and money on golf.

She shut up and then changed the subject.

Liberals can not argue because the cognitive dissonance rots their minds.

One of the most asnine things I have heard an anti gun person ask upon learning or seeing someone has a gun is Geez you don't keep that thing loaded do you? Then I usually reply with, an unloaded gun ain't good for nothing but a paper weight.

I had to laugh when I read that because my own aging mom (age 86) hit me with the same exact questions recently. No, she isn't a liberal or an anti-gun nut. She just thinks that a few are plenty 'cause dad always did just fine his entire life with three prized S&W handguns and a small variety of long guns (the latter almost never used). She doesn't "get" the joy of collecting and thinks I should keep my modest retirement savings in the bank where it belongs.

It was a fun conversation. Moms are great.

I like when they ask, "What caliber of pistol do you have?" I reply, What caliber do you want?

 

[mooosie]

I think you should tell your buddy with the ignorant ill mannered anti gun girlfriend that there are too many bass swimming in the river to keep a carp

My Dad wasn't antigun but mostly just nongun sort of guy. He did hunt with a bow though.
Once the subject of guns came up at his house and about my brother's and mine. Almost on cue my brother and I pulled up our cover garments to show that we both were carrying. Dad asked what are you afraid of here and brother said, "not much".
I don't really associate with anti-gun people but do have to assume some of my wife's coworkers in the medical field are and usually avoid the subject in social occasions. I have been asked about my guns before by people and have stated I collect old revolvers when I felt like replying. That usually seems to satisfy them and I get asked no more.
The lady that cuts my hair was sort of anti-gun when I first met her and from what slanted views she'd gotten from the media mainly. Over the years we've discussed guns and why I own and carry them. She's now pro-gun from my educating her and hopefully can educate some of her customers now. I've never told her though that I'm carrying when I get my hair cut but expect she knows.

Or else she just thinks you're glad to see her.

Good one! Is this where we talk about snubbies or Dirty Harry .44 magnums?

Is that a.....

Is that a long Colt in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

Yes, a Colt......and a Smith......and a Wesson.

Most of the folks I know/deal with would probably piss themselves if they ever knew I was carrying while standing there talking to them.

I have found that when attending an outdoor function, I will usually wear a repellent of Deet to keep the annoying blood sucking insects from buzzing and trying to bite me.
I applied this same logic to when attending a socially diverse function,
I wear a NRA hat and shooting shirt as a repellent to keep the blood sucking insects from buzzing and trying to bite me.
