How Do You Answer Questions?

[Sigblitz]

So where is this sign again.

Since I run a gunsmith shop,

AND, I'm not running a gun shop...

 

[Sigblitz]

I'm out. The doesn't stop.

 

[Bigtanker]

You need a belt sander or maybe a bigger hammer.

I have one he can borrow.

 

[red_zr24x4]

I have one he can borrow.

Can I borrow that when he's done with it? I have some finish nails I need to put in

 

[2A_Tom]

I could be wrong, but it sounds like you don't like it here.

Like I was told IN DETAIL,
This is a private forum, so no free speech, you either tow the party line (which apparently is pro machine guns in kindergarten, if not earlier),

The idea of removing firearms ownership rights even extends to violent felons, I'm not exactly clear on ownership of firearms while they are still in prison for armed robbery, rape, arson or murder, but it sees they support EVERYONE being armed,

Pro road rage, highly encouraged to road rage and members freely brag about their road rages,
Just the suggestion of acting like an actual adult and NOT road raging sets them off.

The very idea of using manners offends them to the core and they melt down,
Any common sense is out the window when it comes to what *They* want to do, but everyone else is supposed to follow rules/laws...

EVERY question is a troll here...
Even the questions about what you listen to.
You say it's non-fiction, TED talks, collage level tutorials, industry tutorials, and you get ridiculed.
It's that 6th grade taunt about being a book worm or teachers pet...

You get piled on for being in the military, you get piled on for NOT being in the military,
They brag endlessly about 'Carrying' and yet pile on when someone carries when armed strangers show up uninvited at your home/place of business.
They complain endlessly about socialists & Communists, while piling on when someone dares to say there are white supremacists and NAZIs in their own back yards...

--------

Why NOT pile on about keeping a calm head when you are armed in public?

A PERSON (singular) can be calm, rational, thinking and can discuss without the frog brain taking over.

PEOPLE (plural, the herd) and stupid, panicked, frog brained animals that form up in packs and operate on the 4 basic instincts.
In this case, it's fear/aggression, and if you want to see who had exactly ZERO to add to any conversation,
And/or who was even worse and packed up in a dog pile, just read through this thread.

The (assumed) anonymity of the internet brings out the pack mentality even more.
This isn't because these guys are normally aggressive 'Tough Guys' in actual life, it's because they *Think* they won't get caught in real life and have to answer for their actions.
'Instant Feedback' doesn't include a smack in the mouth or a proper old school drill instructor dressing down in public.

A researcher in the field calls it 'The Lord Of The Flies Preschool Generation'.

That's pretty accurate,
They were bullied & punked in preschool/grade school/high school and never got over it...
They never manned up and moved on with life, so they spend a BUNCH of time sniping on the internet where it won't come back to haunt them like it did in grade school or highschool (a smack in the head, instant ridicule, social lepers).
Since they never figured out social limits, what's acceptable and what's not, the same issues that got them punked in school, they side with 'The Pack' to 'Belong'.
(And for the guys we are talking about, "Lord Of The Flies" is a classic book you should have read in middle school)

The school taunts that worked ON them are now being regurgitated in hopes of dislodging from their memory, but it's falling on adult ears, and you can't Purge the past, you can only accept & come to terms with it... The reason so many therapists are in business!
They *TRY* to bolster their self worth by driving someone else down, even if it means trying to defend the undefendable, and that never works either, anyone with any self confidence can see right through the deflection.


More than one actual researcher has determined we spend the rest of our lives trying to get over the things that happened in preschool/grade school/high school,
Unless something dramatic happens in our lives,
Going off to war, major accident that puts you on the other side of things, higher education where you actually dig deep and understand the subject matter, for some, it's birth of children, for others it's finding out you actually ARE alone and you need to pull yourself up by the boot straps, etc.

It's called cognitive recalibration.

It's easy to see with privileged upbringing, lots of money & 'Things', absloute sense of entitlement, when they become bankers, lawyers, politicians they think they can continue to get away with anything because mommy & daddy always bailed them out of trouble.
The same is true with the urban types that make it into professional sports or music/movies, drugs, strip club shootings, dog fighting, general horrible behavior.
Unless they get a serious reality check (cognitive recalibration) they continue on the path they learned in early schools....

--------------

Now, keep in mind this is a forum that had to ban any talk of another civil war...

Between little/no education and absloute ignorance of what happens in war period, or worse yet a civil war, some idiots are actually seriously discussing this on other forums... Mostly about "Who Wins?" (Answer: NO BODY!)
The absloute surest way for any country to shoot it's own self in the collective head -repeatedly- is a civil war.
---AND... There was enough talk on this forum it actually had to be officially banned...

I'm used to people that can't agree if they need a flashlight at high noon, 10 people in the room, 20 opinions on if it's dark at noon or not because they saw a facebag or twaddle meme that said sunlight was a government conspiracy or alien illusion.
The idea you would actually have to ban a subject that brings instant death to millions, and starvation/disease to millions more, completely collapses the economy, puts the entire country under martial law, etc because they couldn't figure that out for themselves is beyond comprehension for anyone with two extra brain cells to rub together!


That's also who argues AGAINST being calm when you are armed!

Square peg in round hole device.

[printcraft]

Not to put too fine a point on it, but that's EXACTLY what happened.
If a calm, rational reader has to ask the question, the it's out there...

What's next? Saying you didn't read required reading 'Lord Of The Flies' because you saw the movie?

How about the dog pile boys saying they were messaging each other to coordinate?
And Mr. Meme generator?

This bunch took time out of the day, away from work/family to message, coordinate, produce memes, just to they could dog pile once again...

That sure sounds like playground politics to me, and sure sounds exactly like what researchers with actual education & degrees talk about when they discuss the mentally & social stunted 'Lord Of The Flies' mentality of the internet...
I'm not a mental health professional, but it's shaking out exactly as described by those actual professionals.

Took far less time to make than to type the reply.

 

[printcraft]

I would give it an 8. You forgot the clearing barrel.

The guy from the chalk outline didn’t use it either...

 

[Dead Duck]

So....
Are we suppose to pee in the barrel?

 

[JeepHammer]

And I’ll bet he doesn’t give you a call to discuss a case either, does he?

At least this one is getting some exercise!
Right angle tangents, jumping to conclusions conclusions, etc.

I didn't get told anything that isn't in the police blotter published in the news paper, on the police & sheriff's department web sites.
It's a small town, everybody's business is in the newspaper, every police call, from stray cats to noise complaints to yard sale lookers parking up driveways.
Web sites have mug shots.
(This is the 21st century...)

Any other full throttle right angle turns you want to make into the guard rail of confusion?

 

[JeepHammer]

So where is this sign again.

"Since I run a gun SMITH shop" "since I don't run a GUN SHOP"

You don't know the difference between and open to the public gun shop and a private machine/gunsmith shop?

I'm out. The

doesn't stop.

I think it's a good time for an exit also.
It's OK, we'll be embarrassed for you....

 

[DoggyDaddy]

 

[1775usmarine]

Lol as I sit here at work which is the railroad. Just dont ask me to clean up the mess I'm not qualified.

 

[repeter1977]

My 'Attitude'?
Calm, assertive, laid out in detail, something like a gunnery sergeant would do with troops?
(Troops have to think before they speak)

Or is it NOT using memes and bumper sticker slogans to attempt getting something across so I don't look like a pretentious ass incapable of putting complete thoughts down?

Or is it the science? Actual research from actual professionals in their respective fields?
Or is it I don't blow which ever way the collective dog pile guys direct things?

It's not hard to grasp,

Drugs, bad for the user, bad for anyone that has to put up with the user.
Booze included.

Road rage, one dangerous idiot multiplying into two dangerous idiots.

Manners, decorum, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
I'm not going to start out a prick, but if you force me to go off, it's not going to be a screaming match or hair pulling slap fight.

When you see a sign that says 'Unload & Clear Your Weapon' it's a good idea to do so since you are on the home soil of the guy that took the bother to install the sign, FOR A REASON, and it DOES apply to *YOU*.

AND, just for the REALLY SLOW, you go through the motions of clearing when instructed in the military, and at government buildings, follow that direction at gun ranges, or you will learn to the hard way.
When instructed, you PROVE it's clear, period.

I also heed the signs about NOT carrying into courtrooms, school property, government buildings, etc, but that's *YOUR* choice.

As for OPEN CARRY, it can be said 'Its Just Open Carry' until some disgruntled employee shoots up his work place, church, courthouse, fast food joint, school...
It's 'Just Open Carry' until it isn't.
*YOU* choose to open carry, I choose to keep a close eye ball on the joker that just dragged an open firearm into my area of operation...
I don't care about *YOUR* 2A Rights, I care about me & mine NOT DYING at the hands of some random socially retarded person dragging an open firearm into an inappropriate setting.

If you can't restrain yourself enough to show respect & manners to anyone else, you are at the top of my immediate threat list, and I know you are armed... Get used to it, it's exactly how everyone else not trying to prove a political point feels also.

It could be about just concealed carry until some nut job shoots up a place.
See, it's absolutely your attitude and how easily people poke holes in your rants. They aren't anything like a reasonable conversation. As for a Marine Gunny, please spare us. Plenty of former service folks and you sure aren't special. Not only that, but a Gunny actually earned his rank, you don't just become one. And since I'm out of the service no random stranger is going to act like a Gunny especially when they are absolutely wrong. BTW, I've actually called out plenty of Sergeant Majors and even General grade officers, so I have absolutely no problem calling you out too.
Go back to your bunk and continue drawing down on everyone. Continue being highly stressed and take the side of irrational soccer moms and attack others in the firearm community, then wonder why no one comes to your aid. Well, besides a police chief that buys cheap equipment that he doesn't know how to mount or use.

Wouldnt happen to have a link?

 

[Hoosierdood]

Maybe the "Dog Pile" as you perceive it isnt about playground politics, but is more about your ****ty attitude to someone choosing to carry differently than you while exercising their rights? Maybe its because you lump all open carriers into the category of "social retards" who have a something to prove? Maybe its your unreasonable paranoia to view open carriers as a threat?

I knew this thread would deliver.

If I don't have my DD214 handy, can I just use my Indiana DL with the "V" designation? Will that also unlock the special powers?
