| Doin' what I can with what I got  |
 You can find people like this anywhere, and they're not interested in assistance, or education. Even broke rednecks can - and usually do - keep their shit clean. Remington's entry-level or mid-grade offerings represent a significant investment for them and they know they're not getting another any time soon. You can tell the guys that give a damn every time hunting season's getting close. The guys that can actually shoot will have stuff running from spendy to dirt-cheap, with all kinds of finishes and rattlecan jobs - but no matter how it looks, it's clean, and it works. The guys who are just doing it to get away from the wife for a day or two show up with shit that's damn near rusted shut in some cases; probably dumped it in the case wet after last season and left it next to the water heater. Edit to add: millionaire club doesn't actually surprise me in this context. None of that hurt to purchase, probably, and they're just doing it to do it. ---------------------------------------- Death smiles at us all. Be sure you smile back. | |||

^^^^^^^^^ That is well said and in my experience true. At one time I was a member of a "Sportsman's Club", it had a lake, club house and trap and skeet range. Everyone there was a FUDD. If it wasn't a trap shotgun or a deer rifle be it a lever action or bolt rifle, you didn't need it. I tried to explain that if they do ban "assault rifles", that they will come after their deer rifles, because it will be a "sniper rifle". The full on ignorance, and apathy was stunning. Could not get through to any of them. I would bet my last dollar that if there ever was door to door gun confiscation they would easily sell me or anyone else out that they knew that had "assault rifles". They can't be counted on to fight the "cold war" on gun rights, and if things really went sideways they would sell you out, or literally or figuratively shoot you in the back. I was a member of the Sportsman's Club for almost 2 years, I couldn't stand it anymore. I was more of "the enemy" than anti-gun politicians were! I hate FUDDs, and most every shotgun sports people fall into this category. Yeah, there are some that aren't like that, but they are the minority. ARman | |||

Sadly, some people have no interest in taking care of their tools. Some of these dolts, have no interest in politics, nor understand the second amendment. To bad the OP missed the opportunity to give a little education to these folks. ____________________________ NRA Life Member, Annual Member GOA, MGO Annual Member | |||

It would have been a waste of his time and breath. | |||

When I hunt deer 10 miles outside of Podunk, MN the local sportmans club has "sight in days". The crap that some folks consider GTG is amazing. I've seen patterns at 100 yds that couldn't be called a "group" without a vivid imagination. Before I could use the range they *demanded* to shove a segmented cleaning rod down the bore from the muzzle to prove the bore was clear. (they've seen sticks, mud, etc. in bores) The look when I told them "Not no but hell no" was priceless. You aren't doing that to my Kreiger, Shilen or any other barrel I own. I produced a bore snake that was accepted as OK. Their political views weren't discussed so I couldn't knowingly label them as "FUDDS" but some did give odd looks to an AR pattern 308. -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

Get Off My Lawn |
When I lived in CA, I was well acquainted with FUDDs at my gun club; I hated to shoot there on weekends so I went on weekdays and the old guys with their bolt actions show up, staying all day. These guys would give shit to folks like me with ARs. They had a real snobbish attitude, and spoke of not minding banning "assault weapons". I would shoot next them on purpose because they always complained of ARs being "too loud". A bunch of Zumbos.

Glorious SPAM! |
I'm not sure if I have ever met a FUDD but I know who they are. When I was home on leave a few years ago (in Boston) my aunt (left as they come, but she is my aunt) said something to the effect of "no one needs assault weapons. My friend John hunts and he says no one needs AR15's". Well I bit my tongue, and I was doing good until she asked me if I owned any "assault weapons". I put my fork down, cleared my throat and said "Well first the term "assault weapon" is nonsense. It is a made up term. And yes I own AR15's. I think about a dozen but I have not taken inventory in a while. And I do not hunt at all". I picked up my fork and continued eating and I am pretty sure she was about to have an aneurysm. | |||

Not really from Vienna |
I have actually been in the position of defending the ownership of handguns, to a group of Sporting Clays shooters from the northeast. It boggles the mind. | |||
