Where is the most unlikely place you learned something about Firearms

[wcd]

Semi auto revolver, yeah surely that is HollyWood fiction. It was mentioned in one of the shows we were streaming last night. It mentioned a Webley Fosberry semi automatic revolver. Surly there is no such thing. Well looks like I learned something from an old tv show.

You'd be surprised what you can learn from the "Karens" talking at the YMCA. I think it is where Joe Biden's team gets all there talking points.

I was in a water aerobics class and two women were talking about guns during the last "how terrible guns are" MSM narrative. One told the other, "you know, those AK47's are so powerful that even if you get shot in the arm, you die!" The other was shaking her head to the affirmative. I went trotting past and she says, "You are in to guns, do you have an AK?" I answered, "No" and kept going. To this she replied, "Why not?" to where I answered, "Not powerful enough..."

I wasn't invited to the rest of the conversation...

The mateba Unica 6 is one of the coolest revolvers out there one of my grail guns. I'd love to get a .44 mag version. Emilio Ghisoni's last designs before he passed was the chiappa rhino definitely can see the resemblance.

Those Fosberys are cool guns.

Typically, in an LGS is about the most unlikely place for me to learn something about guns honestly.

No purple needed unfortunately.

My mother used to belong to a club and every Wednesday night they played cards. Every one of those old ladies was packing.

Dang! What kind of a buy in did they have?.............

A gun store. Told the clerk I was looking for a series 70 1911. She told me that every 1911 is a series 70. Cute little thing probably hired just for that reason because she obviously didn't know about guns.

Petro Truck Stop,
N. Little Rock, Arkansas.
What I learned: Glocks don't sound like real guns when they hit the floor, and once dropped don't hold their mags very well......at least in this case.

Backstory: Men's room, private "office" in major transaction department.
Very narrow, TP dispenser on right.......can you see where this is going?
When the uniformed person attempted to mount the throne to my right, it would appear the TP dispenser disarmed him, as evidenced by his Glock skittering across the floor into my stall, and dumping the mag out, which stopped by my left foot. As I gingerly used my feet to slide his possessions back to him, I noticed, and commented on, his use of Hydra-shok ammo, saying "Federal Premium, huh? Gig must be paying top dollar."
That got a chuckle in response as he collected his property, and I assume, reholstered.
Time passes, nature resumes it's course, he rises to zip up, and...............that's when I hear it. The solid, weighty splash of a fully charged, wayward magazine plunging to the depths of a toilet bowl, accompanied by the expletive laden curse cast upon said magazine by my temporary neighbor. I would be remiss if I did not point out that no flushing had yet occurred.

I did not offer to help with this predicament, nor did I hang around to see it resolved. I don't know if he was Law Enforcement, Security, Armored Car, or whatever. Only know he was uniformed, had a finicky or broken gun, and a very unpleasant cleaning session to look forward to.



Hey.....you asked.

If it's an HK mag full of Federal HSTs, I'm holding my nose and going fishing. Whatever the price of my dignity is, it's lower than that.

In a High School in Montgomery Co, Maryland I attended, we had a rifle team and we brought our rifles to school each week for practice, we were taken by a county school bus to BCC High School to shoot because they had a range in the basement.

Unfortunate but very true.

Doctor’s Lounge in the Sugery department of a hospital.

I had to walk through for work one day years ago and over heard two surgeons discussing AR-15s. One surgeon was former military and he was advising the other surgeon what to shop for in a quality AR-15. He really knew his stuff too and I learned some things too.

I learned from the White House that 9mm will blow the lungs right out of a body.

And .223 will take off an arm.

And .223 will take off an arm.

But .45 still kills the soul.

the shop class built a big bullet trap on wheels that could be wheeled in and out of the gym

Those were the days. Every pickup in the parking lot had a rifle in the back window...

I think MOST (not all) people get their "gun education" from movies/TV.

Which is funny, when people see stuff they know about portrayed wrong and make fun of Hollywood, then suddenly assume Hollywood is 100 percent correct when they talk about guns.
