Interesting encounter with a Hoplophobe today at the grocery store

[P&R Fan]

I was performing my almost daily ritual of shopping for groceries today, and, as most of us guys do, was on the phone with the Wife as I shopped. (How the heck did married men EVER shop for groceries before we had cell phones?)
I wandered into the magazine section and saw to my delight the latest editions of American Handgunner and Guns were there. I noted this to my Wife as I selected a copy of each from the shelf. As I did so, there was an old guy there, and he was putting non-gun magazines in front of the gun magazines, hiding them. I pointed out that he was covering gun magazines and would he mind if I bought some? He kinda gave me the Hairy Eyeball and stomped away.
I guess the Hoplophobes now want to control what we READ too!

Oh, well, I had fun doin' it. Missus P&R Fan was listening. She just groaned.

Aloha,

I do the opposite, put gun magazines in front of other magazines.

Because I can.....

 

[DigiRebel]

Well obviously. I mean without gun magazines no one would even know they existed right?

Are these the magazines they want to limit to ten pages

Someone was doing that in a book store that I went into today -- they put Hustler and Playboy magazines in such a fashion that those magazines covered half of of the Guns and Ammo cover -- it really got me confused and got my heart racing to see a Model 29 with breasts

If you could somehow work a bacon cheeseburger and a beer in there you'd probably hyper ventilate . . .

There won't be a first amendment for long after the second amendment is abolished.

People still buy and read magazines?

As Jeff Cooper pointed out, hoplophobes are driven by fear, hence they act in an irrational manner.

 

[Straightshooter2]

Dang, maybe that's why I haven't been able to find Guns and Ammo lately. I need to look behind the Ladies Home Journal.

One of the joys of living in West Hollywood is taking my old issues of Guns and Ammo and American Rifleman to my doctor's offices and coffee houses and slipping them in between copies of "LGBT Weekly" and "All Male Cage Dancer Monthly."

Some people act so stupid. Whether out of fear or a desire to control.

This one almost got past me. But hey its early, coffee hasn't kicked in.

It won't be long and they'll be packaged like the porn mags in the plastic, blacked out front cover wraps, and kept behind the counter.
