Walmart encounter....

[PisnNapalm]

So this evening I was in WallyWorld for a few things. As usual I walked by the gun and ammo section. I noticed that they had a couple of boxes of .45 ammo I wanted to try out.

So as I was waiting there for a WW employee to come help me a mother and her son (maybe 8 years old) came walking by. The son pointed to the case of rifles I was looking at and said "Guns are bad." The mother shot me a concerned look. I replied, "Guns aren't bad, it's the person using it that makes the difference."

Mom quickly gathered her son and took off outta there.

Thoughts?

You handled it well. The child probably got a lecture on the way home. But that will reinforce your comment, not make it go away. With luck it will rattle around in his head until he is old enough to choose for himself.

There was nothing else you could do.

Most parents tell young kids that guns are bad as a means to get them not to play with them.

I can only imagine you being the creepy gun guy from Wal Mart for the rest of his life. ROFL. Sorry man.

Guns are bad, but underage driving while intoxicated is A.O.K.

Oh, and Heavy Metal and Dungeons and Dragons made me a devil worshiper

I love WalMart I shop there every other day, and I love gunz too!

I have to admit something, my mother is anti gun, and not comfortable at all about the fact that I have firearms. I explained to her my reasons for having them and she did listen but didn't agree with all that I told her.

She is afraid that I might harm myself one day having guns. I know that she loves me and is just concerned about my well being, but she needs to accept my decision and right to bear arms. I think that she is beginning to understand what I had revealed to her, but it's gonna take some time I know that much.

I was going to take this post elsewhere and decided that I need not start a battle, but he will probably grow up to be a fearful person who shreiks at the sight of a firearm. It is all part of what I call the pussification of America. Guns are bad, bad people will hurt me, and I can only depend on someone else to help me when the shit hits the fan. Kids don't fight anymore, and if they do, they get suspended from school, expelled from school etc. My elementary school defused any fights by sending us to our gym teacher who geared us up with a headgear and boxing gloves. One kid got the shit kicked out of him and the situation was over. We were taught to stick up for ourselves. Kids were given BB guns and firearms at a young age, and killed with them. Firearms were in many homes and looked at as tools for food and recreation. How many kids today can say that they shot .22 in the back yard at cans? Now kids are drilled with GUNS ARE BAD, GUNS ARE BAD, GUNS ARE BAD. God forbid my kids are ever involved in a situation like happened at Virginia Tech, but god damned if they aren't going to look at the kid next to them and say, "The next time this fuck goes to reload, we are going to slam him over the head with a desk". I don't want to train my kids to be urban warriors, but give them the mindset that when the situation warrants it, they need to have a warrior mentality. Fight back if it is your only option. The other option is a bad one. No one fights back any more. They sit back and hope someone will save them. Sorry, I am treading in dangerous territory where I would rather not step, but I think you get the gist of my rant.
