wtf is wrong with people! hah!

I find it amazing how different regions percieve a threat. The OP is looked at as a psycho for cutting a string with a knife. A few weeks ago, I came over from the pharmacy to help in the knife shop. A father and son wanted to see a knife and when I bent over to open the case, my pharmacy jacket slipped up and revealed my SIG. Dad tells the boy "don't crowd a man with a gun." When dad said that I realized what happened and apologized (to me concealed means concealed). Dad say, "no problem...we all carry 'em". No perception of a threat...no perception I am psycho.... It is good to be a red-neck in Appalachia. :D
 
Makes ya kind of sorry that ya messed with other peoples sensibilities?...I can't say anything, the company I worked for actually made an anti-knife carry policy just for me, I used my AFCK folder for everything (opening boxes, cutting paper and string, cutting food...), apparently some complained to the union rep that it made them nervous to have someone at work that carried a knife. So happy I'm out of California now.
 
When one of my guys askes me to use my knife I bitch at them and tell them they need to buy one and carry it. To me it makes no sense to Be in the Army and not have one with you. I could matbe understand if you were sitting at a desk, but we are a combat arms unit.

Once my CO saw my Gerber Mk II on my belt and asked what it was for. He said it looked dangerous. I told him I just liked the look of it and bought it back when I as in ROTC. I replied that I also had a fully loaded .45 in my shoulder holster and he had put me in command of five fully loaded M-60A1 main battle tanks. I was dangerous! "Good point, LT" was his reply. He never mentioned the dagger again.
 
I wear a 3 on my belt daily while working and have never gotten a second look except for from my boss.

You don't think it has anything to do with the way you look do you?:rolleyes:
I mean, would you voluntarily look at yourself twice?:eek:

First real knife I got was while I was working at Jiffy Lube. Companies started putting these stupid plastic skid plates under vehicles with these crazy clips on them. Knife was the best way to get them off. The boss lent me his the first couple times. Then said, "Adam, you need to get your own knife." Got a Kershaw, haven't stopped carrying knives since.

God bless,
Adam
 
Do you EDC your Junglas? That might have something to do with it.

I like my Kershaw blur and carry two of them with me all of the time. They are good knives that seem to work good for my uses.

Where would we be without knives. Very bored, and probably living in a cave eating vegatables. That really is a shame that a grown man gets frowned upon for using a knife. People who think your are psycho for having a knife probably don't trust themselves with sharp objects and project that fear on other people. Very pathetic.

That is one thing that kills me about people who are afraid of knives and guns. Its like the guns just going to go off by itself and kill everyone in sight. Or the knife is going to fly out of your hands severing arteries along its deadly path. The fact is they are about as dangerous as a rock, it's just that Hollywood and the news aren't really big on misusing rocks the way they are guns and knives. A tool is a tool. Used properly it will bless your life. Misused and mistreated, it'll bite you.

God bless,
Adam

This same old thread has been hashed out to no end before on BFs numerous times. It's the same as debating Republican vs. Democrat, etc. And while I don't have a problem with the debate, I would rather spend my keystrokes in a more useful way, say... talking about crazy women or good tequila or a using a knife for the sake of using it and not who it pisses off, talking about skills, etc.

i think that if we allow people to believe that we care what they think, then they will believe that they are entitled to an opinion that we should all obey. before you know it, we will all be cutting things with finger nail clippers!!!

Amen to that. These self entitled world police have too much say as it is! It would be nice if people would just mind their own business unless there is a real problem! :thumbup:

Forget about keystrokes, I could wear out 3 keyboards on that subject.

I'm from WNY as well. Cities here, people freak out if they see you with a gun.... When I lived in the sticks, I'd sit on my porch with a 12 gauge, a 12 pack, a box of smokes and a brick of ammo. Cops would wave at me, and the pizza guy wouldn't look twice.

Sorry, Diz. Had to. I grew up downstate (Westchester county) ;)

We now live in a peaceful, crime-free, loving society where guns, knives, etc. are simply not needed anymore. Didn't you get the memo?

We also no longer believe in cutting our food into bite sized pieces before eating. Oh wait, we don't have to cut our food it comes from the factory in bite-sized pieces.
