Actually, I have met some obnoxious, loud-mouthed, louts at the gunrange. They seem to be self-acknowledged experts on everything.

Personally, I am on my best behavior at the gun range.

Actually, I have met some obnoxious, loud-mouthed, louts at the gunrange. They seem to be self-acknowledged experts on everything. so have I and everywhere else the grass grows green. Whats your point? The polite part comes when the some stupid jackass has to think twice before breaking into a house or carjacking you if they are not sure you are armed or not. The whole armed society thing only works in a true 'libertarian' society where if you insult the virtue of my bride...and I shoot you down like the dog you have proved yourself to be. Then everyone just shakes there head and says "he had it coming" and thats it. If I am armed today and do the same thing...I go to jail and all my possessions are summarily removed by some sleaze bag lawyer. So just being armed is not enough, its a whole mindset(whose time has come).
