Well said Wildscar. You forgot IDPA shooter on your list.

I did read the post and was preparing a rather lengthy and detailed response, but I never thought for a secoind that it would be delted before I could finish as I was. I really wish that I would have copied it first.

I was busy this morning and had business to attend to before I coule finish my reply.

I will post my partial response here in hopes that the original post is replaced.


mr.72,

It's quite obvious that you have put much thought into this topic, and your post is quite well written. However, I do think that there are a few things that you should understand. First, let me state that I am not offended by your post in any way, but I am not a fan of being stereotyped. Nobody is asking you conform to anything, much less become a "gun nut". This forum is dedicated to concealed carry, general gun discussion, and the preservation of our 2A rights. You are going to encounter some folks that that are VERY passionate about, carrying a gun for self defense, gun ownership, and preserving the right to engage in these activities or hobbies depending on their level of participation. Passion is largely a good thing and should not be confused with elitist behavior. Passion after all, played a huge part in the freedoms that we have as American’s.

I am sure that you encountered similar levels of passion and enthusiasm while being involved in your other hobbies. I for one cycle and am an avid SCUBA diver and weight lifter and I have been around some rather hardcore folks in all three sports.

I would love the opportunity to finish my response if you will repost.

A little constructive conversation never hurt anyone. I didn't take your comments as whining, just voicing your point of view.
