It's not legit until you have a federal holiday.So, we can use the word, but they can't?
edit: Just realized: It's our n-word.
It should be the 4th of July. National Open Carry Day.It's not legit until you have a federal holiday.
I agree with you.I considered "gun nut" a little derogatory 50 years ago. Very derogatory now in the era of school shootings, an ever present reminder that some people with guns are genuinely nuts.
LOLI can't believe I'm saying this, but you guys are causing me to think of a new pronoun for myself...
Actually, many slightly to seriously derogatory words get used as terms of endearment among loved ones or buddies. Or are applied to ourselves as self-deprecating humor.No, it's a Term of Endearment.
"Gun Goon" is derogatory.
Yup. Case in point: the N-word.Actually, many slightly to seriously derogatory words get used as terms of endearment among loved ones or buddies. Or are applied to ourselves as self-deprecating humor.
For most of my adult life, I took no offense to being called a "gun nut", no matter who said it. Now I'm no longer in that camp. 2ndtimer is exactly right, and I've experienced the truth he speaks in a very real way.I realize this is a zombie thread, but today use of the term "gun nut" is no only derogstory, but downright dangerous. With federal red flag laws being discussed and the communists in control of the party in power, their reasoning is that ANYONE that owns firearms or has an interest in them is mentally ill, prima facie evidence that their firearms must be seized.
I know it's personal, but is there a way for you to further elucidate for the NWFA community as to exactly what happened to you?For most of my adult life, I took no offense to being called a "gun nut", no matter who said it.

I was involved in a situation at the beginning of the year, in which my case was handled in a completely atypical, in fact unprecedented, manner by my employer because they considered me a "gun nut". The mismanagement of my case, based on the label of "gun nut", impacted me mentally, monetarily, and even my physical freedom. I had done nothing illegal or against policy, and was in good company with other employees, both previous and present who were in the same situation. I was handled in a polar opposite, punitive manner, due to the administration considering me a "gun nut". So yes, the term matters to me, and I hate it.
I lost my guns and my wife's. They were taken by an illegal warrant, based on an illegal detention. A couple agonizing months later, I won the court case against the law enforcement agency, and they were required to return the firearms. All but 4 have been returned. The 4 still in Property are in limbo. The sad thing is one of those 4 was an engagement gift I bought my wife 28 years ago, before California had a "roster" and the gun is not on the roster, so she will likely not be able to get her own gun back.I know it's personal, but is there a way for you to further elucidate for the NWFA community as to exactly what happened to you?
Did you get red-flagged and lose your guns, lose your job, go to jail, etc.?
I'd really like to know what happened, since I currently live in a similarly communist hellhole.
I appreciate the kind remarks. The State job is off the table, unfortunately. As far as a lawsuit is concerned, I have an attorney for my worker's comp case, and will be discussing with him whether I should obtain counsel for a civil suit against my employer. I sent a memo to my administration, outlining the monetary damages (not even including emotional damages for myself and my wife). It wasn't a wild guess number, I actually had evidence supporting all of it, and it is at 1.5M. My employer is treating me with kids gloves now. They know they screwed up. It would never go to jury trial; County Counsel would settle for a considerable chunk if I go that route.JFC! I am stunned!
No apologies necessary! What happened to you is abhorrent! Wow, I have no words for that injustice.
I hope you can still sue the pants off these asshats and get your guns back, especially your wife's gun.
The Sacmo job is probably long gone, huh? Probably explains why you're in Colorado Springs.
I truly wish the best for you and that you get justice, but it being a Commiefauxnia case, that's probably unlikely...
You're still with the same employer? It's your case, I know, but if it were me, I would press the case, win it, take your $1 million (after attorneys' fees and taxes), invest it wisely, quit, and retire to a life of leisure and shooting your guns. Phuq those bastards!I appreciate the kind remarks. The State job is off the table, unfortunately.

You're not wrong. The primary reason I'm still with them is that there is light at the end of the tunnel (I'm eligible for retirement this October), and I don't have to put up with anything, since it's tough for them to hassle me when I'm living several states away. As far as compensation is concerned, I'm currently unable to work overtime, which is where a decent chunk of my income came from, but on the plus side, worker's comp pay is tax free. So for the year of 2022, I won't pay a penny of taxes to the State of California or the Feds.You're still with the same employer?
