Dear Tacticoolaid-Drinkers,
My bad. I’ve become increasingly impatient with the seemingly overzealous tactical “enthusiasts” and today I believe that impatience came to a halt.
It seems that lately my gun shop visits have all included some sort of casual run-in with people interested in the newest AR-15 tac-latch rail-mounted laser taser gadgetry and fewer of the traditionalists. That usually ticks me off. I just want to know if there are any series 70’s under $800 and I keep getting interrupted by someone wanting to know what’s the best way to mount seven streamlights and a BUIS on his AR. Well…
I was making my usual rounds on the “I’m ahead of schedule for my drive-home commute” gun shop circuit, when I stopped by one of my local favorites to see what deals were beneath the display case. The conversation was the typical question and answer session with the gentleman behind the gun counter, when an obnoxious cannabis and gasoline-smelling pair of southern gentlemen strolled in the shop. I reluctantly gave them their space and they began to yell from different directions at each other to look at this Glock (S&W sigma) over here, and that Glock (AK-47), over there and then proceeded to ask if the owner had the Remington Super-Red Hawk that shot 454 “Castle” and 45 long-barrel. Before they got a reply the moved on to the next “glock” and asked if the gun was “SMD registered”
I found myself missing the company of typical gun-shop ninjas and their well-informed opinions (even if it is based on internet and gun magazine ramblings). Perhaps working on my own AR build is making me appreciate a bit of tacticoolness, but whatever the case is, I look forward to the next time someone informed on firearm anything wants to talk shop, as long as they don’t reek of pot and motor oil.
