Have a older couple come in looking for shotguns

Man's son had convinced him he needed a 3.5" gun for goose and I was happy to oblige
While he was looking at the various models I laid out for him

another gentleman came in saying he had heard we have a Barrett M107 in Tan

I place it on the counter and the couple looking at shotguns look like this

A few minutes later and I am bouncing back and forth between the two

Another gentleman comes in wanting a mini-14 while he looks at a new mini he states he wants an AR but cannot afford one

I show him a Patrolman's Carbine he sees that it is less than the Mini and decides to buy it

again the couple looks like

About that time guy figures he needs the M107 and we start paperwork for that also

couple still being kinda frowny but still looking at shotguns
While shotgun couple are still handling a few shotguns and the other 2 guys are doing 4473s

A older gentleman with a cane comes walking in asks about a Glock 42 , after a minute he asks if we take trades
I answered yes and he said well i have a Glock 27 but it is on me and I did not want to whip it out

( normally our policy on this is to send them out to their vehicle to clear the weapon so if they have a AD its not our problem , customers , property , employees etc I'm sure some here in GD will have some sort of problem with that)

This guy is old and has a cane plus parking lot is still icy in spots I wasn't gonna send him outside , So I asked him if he could lay it safely on the counter and allow me to clear it , which I did
At this point shotgun guy looked like this

shotgun wife was looking and acting like this

they then stormed out after he exclaimed " Don't anyone buy real guns for hunting like a normal person anymore ?"
so pretty much a normal afternoon with a dash of Fudd drama

A few weeks ago I was at a local gun store with the word "tactical" in it's name.

Customer walked in looking for a certain hunting rifle and was surprised to be told, basically, "we don't sell guns like that."

We have more gun stores that are basically tactical places than traditional ones now.

I was at a fudd range a month or two back shooting when I over heard this guy talking to an older couple next to me about how people shouldn't even need to shot more than a few rounds at the range. He basically said you should only come to the range to check your zero, then leave. He said something along the lines of "I don't know why a box of ammo couldn't last you an entire year."

Funny thing was this guy wasn't even shooting, he was just walking up and down the firing line and spotted the old couple shooting their hunting rifles and decided to talk to them. Wasn't a RO, and had a visitor badge. I was under the assumption he was the type of guy that would like the range to be shut down.

It's like owning guns for your protection, or recreational shooting doesn't exist.

I like FUDD guns.

I even seem to be preferring to shoot FUDD guns when I go to the range lately...

But I cannot even begin to understand where those folks were coming from.

Strictly sporting arms were never meant to be protected by the Constitution.

Military arms were.

Send them my way. This 100 year old (1914) Model 11 should suit them.

That's fine. Shitbirds like that fudd typically don't buy anything anyways.

I was in a mostly tacticool shop last week, and they had a Krag I was admiring. The saleskid told me he was thinking of building up an AR in .30"-40 for next deer season.

My local favorite gun shop (about 10 miles from me) advertises on the radio, newspaper ads, t-shirts and sales cards "politically incorrect firearms" with a 1919A4 logo. They have a constantly full parking lot and full counter and their full auto range is always full (have to wait for a bench) with burps of "fun gun" fire (they rent class 3 guns too). Every time I'm there they are doing plenty of business.
Contrast this with the local fud gun shop a few miles from me, all hunting rifles and bows. Owner doesn't deal in "black or high cap guns". His shit is new old stock from 1995 (by the looks of it), dust covered and he has to work a "day job" and is only open odd hours because his shop can't float on its own. And this is in the heart of rural hunting country where the first day of buck is a holiday and schools are even closed here in this part of PA.
The times they are a changin'.....

" Don't anyone buy real guns for hunting like a normal person anymore ?"

You should have said:

That's what I would like to know. You stood here and finger fucked that shotgun and didn't buy a damn thing.

Eh, they sound more anti then fudd.

The way I see it is you can be a fudd and still favor rtkba. In fact, you can fudd by preference but own some ARs in case things get serious.

What did you expect?

Damn people can buy a machine gun as easy as a six pack of beer. You don't need an automatic assault weapon of war, that's able to spray 1000 bullets a minute, to shoot a deer fer Christ's sake.

The old fuckers probably voted for Obama to protect their SS and Medicare and all the other FSA bennies they've convinced themselves they're entitled to.

Fuck em. This is America dammit. If you disagree with someone else's tastes in goods, GOOD! More for you!
