encounter with someone who 'knows' more than an OCer

[ungawa]

Happened to me once. A guy called to me from a parked car. He was just trying to help out a bro, not be an A-hole. I talked to him about 30-60 seconds and he seemed to realize I knew what I was talking about and then he thanked me. There was never any conflict in either direction and he was surprised to learn what I told him.

took the nra course to get my wv permit and the instructors said "only weirdos open carry" about 3 different times

Is that untrue?

[ImminentDanger]

Two possible answers:

1)
Man: Why is your gun out like that.
Me: Do you carry
Man: No.
Me: Then don't speak to me about what you don't know!

2)
Man: Why is your gun out like that.
Me: Do you carry?
Man: Yes.
Me: Then shame on you for not knowing the law!

It's surprising how effective a rebuttal in this area can be, when you begin with "I'm a licensed attorney who practices extensively in this area, and..."

Doesn't stop everyone, though. I have to wonder if the same folks would debate minimum wire gauge for a hot tub with a Master Electrician.

they might consider changing the ltcf to
License To Carry While Driving Or In Philly And When State Of Emergency
LTCWDOIPAWSOE permit.

hopefully i come up with something better than "because I'm an American" when im next bothered by sheep. :/

sadly "i sell heaters" doesn't carry as much clout.

Oh, sorry. I forgot to zip up.

Or "Ever hear of the Constitution motherfucker?"

Wasn't the original quote "ever hear of the motherfucking Constitution?"

This is referred to as the Dunning-Kruger effect - when a person of low ability or lacking in experience suffers from illusory superiority.

In other words, sometimes ignorant people don't realize they're ignorant. Imagine that!
