Grumpy Old Coot
Joined July 2012 because a shooting buddy mentioned this was a good group. Some of the posts make me laugh out loud. Some make me cringe, but I encourage "newbies" to the shooting world to post away. None of us were born with gun smarts. Hell. Some of us still don't have gun smarts. As for the 13ers. Well, here is what I worry about most. When the big, buy an AR craze hit, a lot of people who have no idea about firearms ran out and bought an AR. Then they took it home, held it to their shoulder and went.. "peeew!, peeew!, peeew! ", and put it in the closet and thought they were protected at home. No thought about safety, children, proper training, or how to secure the weapon against unauthorized access. The other thing is that "most" home burglars can read to some extent. They realize there are hundreds of homes out there with ARs and other weapons in them unsecured, just ripe for the picking. This indeed, worries me.
