So there I am looking at 1911 clone on a table full of used handguns when this guy next to me says "do you know anything about Lugers?" I turn to see this kid in full Goth-gear holding a High Point pistol or some variant thereof. I say that's not a Luger. He then points to the markings on the barrel that say--you guessed it--9MM Luger.

You should have told him "Put that down son, you'll shoot your eye out!"

At least you didn't see him lining up the sights with your head...

-1 to the Hmong teenagers that thought I was an appropriate target.




Don't you just love gun shows?

God forbid you actually talk to the kid, educate him and encourage him in the safe use of firearms. what our community really needs to ensure our future enjoyment of firearms is to alienate and belittle newcomers, right?

You should have said "I stand corrected.  That may well be the gun that Himmler gave Rommel upon his graduation to 9th level paladin".

Bluefalcon: don't get your panties in a wad. Where did it say that I belittled/alienated him? Were you there? I DID talk with the kid, explaining in detail about bbl markings, manufaturer's markings, etc and answering his questions in a respectful manner. Sorry I only put in the part of the story that I considered a little funny.  Feel free to put a gold star in the "Righteous Indignation" column of your "bitch of the day" scorecard. Next time ask instead of making accusations.

That adds another $200 to the price, right?



Ironically, I had a dream last night where I had a little pocket pistol that was engraved saying it was a presentation by Hitler to some nazi dude. And people kept chasing after me trying to steal it, but I couldn't sell it for beans.

Haven't you ever seen "A Christmas Story?"  The kid wanted a Daisy Red Rider BB gun and everyone told him "You'll shoot your eye out!"  

Being the Christmas Season, I was merely referencing a seasonal classic.

oh, i know. i just get tired of hearing people trash on new shooters. there are alot of folks out there who revel in hating on people because they used the word "clip" to describe a magazine. i swear some of these guys get wood from it and then they wonder why our community is shrinking and losing support. i didn't really mean anything by it, i guess i was just venting. (aka crapping on somebody else's thread)

but the real question becomes...

how was the beef jerky and beanie baby selection hosted by Ex Recon Ranger Seals who did covert ops in the Nam even though they're about 30?

Seriously though...funny story and thanks for setting someone straight regardless of how they look.  Goth people are your friends and tend to be more entertaining than 99% of the cookie cutter society out there!

should have just said:

"Yeah, that's a nice one! I'll bet you could get $1,000 for that one!"

That reminds me of the group of wanna-be gangbangers I saw at the gunshop looking at handguns.  One said Look this one says 25 auto, and they all started making machine gun noises.
