With all of the "reality" shows on TV nowadays, a good idea might be a season of Gunshow/Gunshop reality TV. Basically, hidden cameras in gunshops and knife stores that capture some of this crap. Some of the tallest tales are told in the bowels of gunshops. It's hilarious to listen to. Attention starved people fer shure. The Browning logo is a great example. Everybody has a theory. Anyhoo, I used to spend a lot of time at a local gunshop until this just basically became unbearable. The straw that broke the camel's back was when a special ordered 50 cal Armalite boltgun came in (thousands of dollars, prepaid by the customer). Orange tags all over the gun warning that you should NEVER dry fire the rifle. Smartalec "hanger outers" played with the rifle until, you guessed it, the firing pin broke due to dry firing. So now the customer (who had already waited MONTHS for the rifle) had to wait longer for a new bolt to be fitted. I stopped coming around and actually stopped going there altogether. When it isn't a thousand-yard tall tale about an eyeball hit on a groundhog, it's a story about how democrats are actually pro-gun but they have to "go along" with the party because of the unions. (You need a job, dont cha?). Crazy freaks. When you admit to voting for a democrat in a gunshop (these folks actually exsist, I've seen em) I suppose you have to have SOME kind of story. Cheers. :)
 
No, it's for this thread. Gunshop/knifeshop BS is the subject right? Maybe my post is just far too advanced for this discussion... Whoa. Cue Jeff Spicoli banging a shoe on his forehead.

It made perfect sense to me. Question was answered, so the thread morphed to general gun/knifeshop BS. Perfect fit. :cool:

The post was relevant like discussing spoilers on a drunk driving thread.

I don't think the problem was with your post, only with the inability of certain people to consider the larger picture. You have to remember, the average IQ in this country is supposed to be 100. That means that half of the population is of below average intelligence. ;)

I can see where he thought it was relevant, but it strayed from the question of the OP. IQ has nothing to do with it, I assure you. And it doesn't mean that "half of the population is below average." That's a clear mistake that one with at least an average IQ should be able to notice.

Edit: Just noticed that the question was addressed. I'll go ahead and put the dunce cap on.

The original thread has been moved to the Spyderco forum. These off-topic posts have been cut out and moved to Gadgets & Gear, since gun talk didn't belong in knife discussion forums anyway.
