Was I wrong??? (INGO hat spotted in Evansville)

[Scutter01]

Ok, I don't want to be That Guy, but we do have a rule about personal attacks on INGO and there's been a lot of bagging on a guy who we know to be a member. Can we get back on track without resorting to name calling?

Thanks

 

[RogerB]

for all we know one of the name callers could be "the guy". Maybe feeling like he wished he could do it over differently lol

Some people are just idiots, no matter what hat they wear.

Ive been thinkin about this.......you guys talkin about wearing the hats to find each other.....its hard to find each other WHEN I DONT HAVE A HAT.........man whats a guy gotta do to get a hat around here........thats how you can tell the damn economy is bad....a man cant even get a stinkin hat now-a-days.......on a side note this guy is a ding dong with a cap D and maybe by reading all of this he has learned the error of his ways.........You know as well as i do hes problly one of those tacticool guys......

 

[Scutter01]

man whats a guy gotta do to get a hat around here

They've been on sale at every 1500 this year, and you can PM Fenway to buy one.

 

[silentvoice71]

i didnt go to the 1500 the ball and chain were extremely tight that day.....and ill have to PM fenway again.

People like that......don't waste your time worrying about it. He probably was on a double secret mission to save the world; you could find that out if you can find his girlfriend (yeah right) and she'll tell ya.

If you did blow his cover.....you know there's a backup agent in the room to pick up the slack.

He's not the only one that watches secret agent television you know. I know a thing or two about secret agent hi-jinks too.

ah man.. I just blew my cover!!!!

the quilt is to hot........(code words for I just blew my cover, another agent will take my place)

 

[Big John]

Maybe it was Gecko45 on a top secret undercover mission, you blew his cover man.

Was in Evansville recently for a conference. I usually don't go up to people and just shoot the **** out of the blue. Especially about guns or the like. Even though my intent wasn't to pry, he did wear a INGO hat!
I mentioned I liked the website and I was a member. He looked at me as if I asked for his first born. "Mind your own F-ing business" he said. "just announce I have a gun you jack ***" I didn't even mention guns, I just said I liked the website. He did a great job announcing he had a gun though.
I have a few choice words do describe this guy, and I hope you/he reads this!
Was I wrong? I figured he had the hat on, it would be safe.

Next time you encounter someone of this disposition. When they respond with "Mind your own blah, blah, blah just announce that I have a gun blah" Tell them not to wear firearm related apparel. Because that INGO hat just screams I have a gun on me...

I prefer to jump back in alarm and yell "WHAT?!?! YOU HAVE A GUN?!?!"

I am so going to try that next time I run into this attitude!

Do you think it will take away from it any due to the fact that I OC...

You shut your mouth when you're talking to me. Granted I haven't watched hockey regularly since the strike, and haven't been really into it since Roenick, Chelios, and Belfour were big names on the Hawks.

As for the OP. What a douche. I hate people like that. If someone came up to talk to me about Ingo I would be stoked.

Those were some good times for Chocago fans!

True, I rocked the #7 all 4 years I played.

No, you were not wrong. This guy was way out of line. If I had an INGO hat (hope to get one at the show) and was wearing it, I would expect to be asked about it. Heck, I've had several freebie hats from vendors and have been asked "what's a _ _ _ _?" by lots of people. When I wear my Colts hat, I end up talking with other Colt's fans. I would imagine a gun related hat would attract other gun types. I know my NRA hat does.

I wouldn't loose any sleep over this guy. Just isn't worth the effort.

I can't believe you blew his double naught spy gig.

May be he'll go back to brain surgery, playboy, or movie producer.

 

[Shadow]

Just blow it off ,,you did nothing wrong the guy was a Friggen jerk. As far as the Red Wings (cough cough) i guess like me every one has to have a team,,hell im still trying to remember when the Bruins won a cup.LMAO OH OH OH yes i want to get one of them beanies too so i can be a undercover spy,,,darn it just blew my cover,,oh well maybe i can get a hat for my Avi.

Checkout the thread by printcraft about" being discreet"

If he's wearing a hat that says INGunOwners.com on it, then he's annoucing it himself. He doesn't need to be getting pissed off that someone asked him about it. It was my impression that's why we have the INGO gear. Here's an idea though, if you dont want people to know you have a gun, dont wear apparel that says you have a gun. =/

This.

I hereby revoke that piece of gear. If what you say is true, I' challenge that individual to post here. If you are the rude guy in question, PM me your addy and I'll buy the hat back personally...

And This.

My first thought was "oh crap, if the guy DOES come forward, we'll have an awful lot of infractions to pass around!"
