No Shooter ever really gets it out of their blood. We're in it for the long haul.
Getting out of shooting
- Thread starter rwsmith
- Start date
I've had 3 major, life-long passions in my years. Fishing, motorcycles and guns. I gave up motorcycles because I don't live where it is safe to ride, I have all but stopped fishing due to health reason and reduced limits and increased costs.
but I'll be doggoned if I'll let a bunch of liberal idiots make me turn my back on shooting. I have developed an ability to exhibit extreme patience when it's called for. I can wait out the silliness. I've slowed down some to conserve my stash but I have not and WILL NOT quit. If and when things normalize I plan on returning to shooting on a once a week basis or more. I intend for the my last act of recreation to be pulling the trigger on my Lew Horton 24-3. I won't speculate on what might be in my sight picture.
I ain't backin' down. I ain't givin' up. I ain't quittin' and I ain't goin' away.
Just like Arnie.....AAAHHHL BE BOCK!

invite them along
we all need to ramp up our efforts to get folks who are anti-gun out to the range.
Reminds me of the gal in line at the quickie mart - commenting on the number of calories in my choice of beverage as she buys a pack of cigarettes. Hadn't had my caffeine that day yet cause I didn't think till later that after her remark regarding calories I should have said, "yeah, you're right, I should get two"

Please tell me where this individual lives. Maybe I can buy him out at fire sale prices before one of you spoil sports changes his mind. In all seriousness though if I lived someplace like New Jersey I could see how someone might feel this way. Not saying I agree but I can understand.
Oh hell no! I'll still be bustin' caps as long as I'm vertical. I may have to mount something on a scooter from the scooter store or on a "hurri-cane" but I've got too much ammo to stop now. I may even form my own scooter store precision shooter drill team if I have to.

I only see it as a problem if YOU HAVE TO shoot a lot everyday. Personally i have no problem doing other none gun related things.

Never give up, never surrender.
OP
I've always been....
I've always been a middle-of-the-road kind of guy that could see both sides of the fence in any issue and I could swing either way as I saw fit. I've NEVER been as polarized on a subject as much as I am on the 2A now.

very well said.
That is what the libs want gun owners to do but do the opposite!

That reminds me of another thread
I don't know how to link to another thread, but I'll cut this rant down to a readable size.
There are millions upon millions of 2nd Amendment supporters in the US. What if that isn't enough? Speaking only in general terms to avoid the subject of politics, in a recent election approximately 50% of voters expected a major change in government while the other 50% expected no change. The final result was that there was little change in government.
In another example, it was thought that a western state with a strong tradition of firearms ownership and lot of gun owners would never pass gun control bills on their own. Well, look what happened in Colorado. Tradition and a lot of gun owners weren't enough.
We can write our representatives and bluster among ourselves about 'cold, dead hands' and the like but what if we wake up tomorrow and find that our rights have been curtailed and/or that personal ownership of firearms is being 'phased out' over time because, as it turns out, there isn't enough support?

My shooting alternative
I dusted off the old Crossman 1077 semi pellet rifle. I also went out and bought a Benjamin Trail .22 cal air rifle.
Got steel plates hanging in the trees, orange clay trap targets scattered, tin cans, water bottles, and lots of squirrels....Between these two shooters, my son and I are very content, and can easily wait out the ammo shortages.
Hell, I'll never giving up on shooting...I simply went out found another alternative.
Regards, Mike

Aloha,
I like to tell liberals, "I just bought another gun, just to piss you off, because I can afford it."

Yes Yankee, this is what worries me also, when after July 1 we can start "open carry". Somebody somewhere will act a fool and ruin it for everybody else. I predict more and more stores will publish "No guns allowed" on doors and windows. Myself, I will still only conceal carry, I don't see any sense in announcing to the world that I'm carrying. I hope and pray that we are both wrong.

We've been dealing with these sorts of people (anti gun legislators) for years in Kalifornistan. Welcome to the fight!
I'm something of a Johnny Come Lately in that I re entered the gun world in November 2008. That date may have some significance.
I won't be laying down anytime soon.
