You know the guy. In this case its behind the counter, seilling ammo, targets and such.
He says "nice holster". I reply "thanks". "So youre left handed?" "nope" "why do you have a left handed holster for your Glock then" "I dont, its right handed" He puts his hand out and I hand it over for him to check. "But it looks left handed" "Its because its an inside the waistband holster" "oh, its one of those *%"$"$X(whatver Bs name)?" "no, its a bladetech phantom ... dont cops here wear IWB holsters when off duty?" "Yes, but they all wear it here on front (describes apendix carry with his hands)" "oh, ok" He keeps looking at the holster, still not convinced its for right handed shooters. "But doesnt this part poke into the side of your torso" "No" I proceed to put it on, show him how it looks standing, sitting and on prone position. It takes a bit of extra patience to have a conversation with someone always double guessing every word. FerFAL |

Thanks - would really like to hear about any range in Europe. I have heard European ranges are increasingly indoors and/or underground; I've heard population density is too high to allow outdoor ranges and noise is a big issue. There are several outdoor ranges here, just nothing near to me. They are building a nice big gun club here soon. That will be awsome. I dont know, its sort strage the way they handle things here. There's a club near by that is actually the rang of the police station. You walk into the station and hand over the range card to the cop at the desk and you just go shooting. 
Its kind of small thogh and they dont have an actual gun store in it. FerFAL |

That story is almost as awesome as the self righteous- ARCOM/internet know it all, who likes to tell stories about how stupid everyone else is, and how they were so patient (implying their obvious expertise), usually doing so in a rather condescending manner.
In other words, an arrogant and condescending person goes into a gun store, and does not keep his CCW concealed, then gives "free" lessons, showing his obvious expertise, thus establishing his superiority. Impressive.

FerFAL Sounds more conversational and he's learning something he's not familiar with, than most know-it-all's I see at the range. Starting this thread kind of doesn't reflect very well on you. |

My favorite was when I ran into a black guy at the range that started talking to me because he saw I only had 9mm guns and said 9mm was weak because it was too small of a caliber. He was a nice guy and everything but he was full of disinformation about guns and swore by them. He then busted out a box of 45 RIP ammo and explained to me how the slug expands in the air before hitting the target. I didn't argue with him just nodded my head in agreement. I don't really get anything out of calling out people on stupid shit.
He then proceeded to shoot a paper target to show me the devastation of the RIP ammo. Brought his target in after shooting a few rounds and it looked just like regular 45 holes in the target yet he still believed the holes looked different somehow. |
