All I can say is WOW! I did my normal sweep by the ammo case, empty as usual and this perfectly normal dude strikes up a conversation with me. I won't totally go into all the aspects of this 10 minute rant but the jist of it was at this very moment Russian and UN troops are hiding in Jacksonville and are going to be searching from house to house all thru Florida confiscating all firearms.. He swears he has seen them! I know this is a very concerning time for all of us firearm owners but I think it has pushed this guy over the edge!

sounds like one of the doomsday preppers off TV. :) Guys like that one concern me that they're walking around free.
 
Sorry a lot of us Russians are still stuck in Pa! However there is a huge Serb community in Jacksonville

Usually prolonged use of the crack/meth pipe leaves a vertical burn mark on the lips. Always look for burn marks on the lips. Staying up for days without sleep makes them a smidge paranoid. :D

Maybe because it's New Jersey but our local firearms forum had to open a special section for conspiracy theories and all things tin foil but with a monthly fee to post and read. Genius actually....separates the Mulners from the Scullys.
 
There's a town in northern KY called Warsaw. Early in WWII an old guy in Carrolton, a few miles away, ran into the nearest hardware store and demanded to buy every box of 12 gauge ammo in the place. The proprietor asked why, and the old man said, "I just heard on the radio that the Germans took Warsaw, but they'll play hell gettin' Carrolton!"

I kind of enjoy the folks with the aluminum sombreros, as long as they don't think I'm one of "them". I knew one who was both a light colonel in the Army and a full commander in the Navy simultaneously, worked in the Pentagon while teaching full time at Annapolis, and said that "When we went to DefCon 3 over the bombing of Prague, it was because some screw-up didn't follow the protocol I set up." He was happy in his own little world and quite harmless.

In the UK, amiable eccentrics are regarded as kind of a national treasure.

It's not just the Garden State; my state-specific gun message board brings out some "interesting" theories as well. I once suggested they create a sub-forum for the wackos, but was trounced on...by the wackos. That's one reason why I like this forum: We may be crazy, but for the most part we suppress it enough to keep the conversations civil and within normal limits :)
 
I am a moderator on another firearm related forum, we just got tired of the foolishness and ran the tin foil hat crowd off.
 
They've been around forever. I was in a gun shop in the Seattle area 20 years ago and heard a guy going on and on to the poor fellow behind the counter about "...signs of the End Times...." Anyone starts talking like that, all you can do is walk away or tune 'em out.
 
Can't listen to the voices too often. You got to keep your monsters on a leash!:eek:
 
Kinda reminds me of a local I'll call Millie. Millie received a letter from a man who said he was from India. He said he was contacted by the ghost of a princess who was wrongfully accused of adultery and decapitated in the 14th century. The letter tells Millie that the princess came to him with her head in her hands and that the head told him to give Millie her treasure because her spirit will never rest or get it's head back if Millie doesn't get that treasure. All Millie had to do was send him $50.00 for postage and handling and the treasure would be hers. Millie has been coming to the post office for months now wanting to know if her treasure has been delivered yet.
 
I thought I was hiding better than that. Guess Ivan and I will have to head south to Miami and mingle with the spring breakers to escape detection.
 
Funny thing was he was standing facing me with his back to the girl behind the counter, she was cracking up at my expense!! It took me a few minutes to politely walk away. I do think I made a new friend out of the girl at the counter for ammo!! Not a bad thing...
 
I had the "pleasure" to talk to someone who believed that the two Navy hospital ships are really ships that go around causing earthquakes. The "evidence" is that those ships show up offshore of countries that have had earthquakes.

I tried to explain that was like blaming ambulances for heart attacks, but to no avail.
 
Heck, I remember when the Russian army invaded Georgia in 2008. Nothing much came of it except some headlines, so Floridians don't have anything to worry about.
