Fist instance was at the Tualatin Cabela's gun room where they have the exotic guns. This tall guy with a beard had some old hippie woman with him and they were looking at different guns. He hands her an AR-10 and she says "This makes me think of school shootings. You don't need something like this to kill a deer."

Later they were looking at high end 1911's and she said "What would you need something like that for?" The bearded man replied "Well, to shoot people..."

The second instance was at Target last night. I was shopping and this tall thin man in his 20's was shopping with his mother. He was wearing body armor ON THE OUTSIDE OF HIS SHIRT! His shirt was an INFOWARS Polo shirt. This was in Hillsboro, OR; not Detroit, MI.

I'm no expert on body armor but it was some desert tan MOLLE tactical vest with side neck guards. Kind of like this one but without the front neck guard.



Common sense isn't so common these days.

Tony.

He was at TARGET after all, so....

He probably didn't even have plates in it.

Too heavy.

Lol.

Why are there MOLLE loops on the neck guard?

The last time I went to the range with my neighbor, a guy in his early 20’s with unkempt, greasy hair appeared at the lane next to us. He had on the same thing, but in OD green and an external pistol holster attached to it. The holster was black. He was cranking off rounds as fast as he could. We left.

So you can attach a tactical beer holder with tactical crazy straw.

Should have replied; "...to be clear, to shoot old dirty hippies..."

Show me again the part in the Constitution about killing deer.

It's not called the Bill of Needs, bitch.

These replies solidly limit responses.

Well, at least you saw no one in a tactical kilt.

It’s where you attach your bib to keep the taco sauce off your body armor.

Well, there's more to the story. I did engage in their conversation. I asked if I could help them find something and why they were there because there was some obvious shock value to her reactions (I actually used that terminology when talking to her). I guess they were there to find a handgun for bearded man to take in the back-woods when backpacking.

He said she's an old hippie and she said guns scare her. I said people who are afraid of guns are people who have never been around them and don't know anything about them. I explained that my son is nine and we shoot all the time and he's already shooting an AR-15 responsibly.

I actually did say something along those lines. I specifically said to her "It's The Bill of Rights, not The Bill of Needs. Nobody needs a sports car, but we have the right to buy one."

At one point, the bearded guy picked up a SOCOM-16 and handed it to her and she started to point it at me (not in a malicious manner, just an ignorant manner) and I grabbed the muzzle and pointed it up and said "And we don't point guns at people, even in the store."

At that point, bearded man grabbed her and said "Let's go over there..." meaning outside the room and across the store and away from me. An employee had begun to approach us to intervene, I suppose. There was no rudeness, but there was awkwardness and the fact that she started pointing guns at people was enough to get attention.

I decided it was time for me to leave the store.

Tony.

Tony.

And you said "Boy, do you have ANY idea who I am? I'm practically the president of that rifle. Now lean forward and choke yourself!"

Tacti-cool, people always liked attention.

Sweet baby Jesus. Yes.

I think a vest like that would be handy at one of the ranges out here, along with a helmet and ballistic visor.
