Top 3 worst "advice" given at gun show today

[WestSider]

Top 3 examples of HORRIBLE "advice" I heard given today at the gun show:

3. "Don't EVER shoot steel cased ammo in your AR, it will ruin the extractor after 100 rounds!"

2. "Don't buy a Glock, they are cheap plastic junk!"

And the #1 worst advice given:
"That's why you need this shotgun, with buckshot you don't even have to aim, just shoot in the general direction of the threat!"

I wish I could say I was making this stuff up....

I shot a bunch of steel cases ammo through my friend's AR and had zero problems. People are crazy

I see that you are new to guns. Welcome to the gun culture. You will hear much, much more.

Not new to guns and have already heard much, much more. Just thought I would share what I heard today.

Glocks go KAboom!

That's better advice than Joe Biden "just shoot it up in the air!

Sorry, westsider, just pulling your chain and having fun.

Yeah, we hear all kinds of wild stuff, maybe we need a thread in general guns on this?

The only thing CLOSE to problems shooting steel cases in ARs is I have heard they tend to gum up the works after a while due to the laquer they put on the steel. But permanent problems Not so much.

"You don't even need to load a pump shotgun... the sound of just racking it will scare an intruder off."

I don't see fault in #2

Well, the ammo guy in the box tried to sell me a box (10) of winchester 12 gauge PDX1 defender shells for 40 bucks. I asked why the price was so high... He says fair overhead? He says his cost is $26. 26 bucks my butt.

I happily walked another 200 feet and paid $14 at the next ammo booth.

Lacquer? Most are polymer coated these days. Good thing I dont have an Ar and only a Mini-14, it fired 100's of round with no problems, those AR's must be junk

It never ceases to amaze me about all the gun legislation that is being signed next week, thus necessitating customers make whatever purchase right now and at an inflated price. After all these years of hearing hose stories, thy still seem to get brought up over and over.

Oh, I almost forgot... "Women need revolvers because they are idiot proof".

This reminds me of the thread on all the common gun store myths and fallacies that continue to make the circuit.
