Most people that I come in contact with are lack knowledge in the firearms area. Not because they are idiots, which they sometimes seem like it, but because they never have looked into it and are very uninformed. I have friends that believe that buying a pistol is like buying a rifle or shotgun, that the pistol permit age in NY is still 18, that think a AR15 is fully automatic, that many military style firearms take clips and not magazines, that silencers are totally silent, that the Desert Eagle would be a perfect sidearm for the military or police, that there is always a one shot stop, etc. Those are just some of the questions I have been asked or been told by people I have met. Luckly my friends aren't idiots and if they don't know they ask me about it.
