Kinda funny, really. I'd be giving that anti-gunner as much help as he gave the 2A and pro-gun laws for the last 6 decades.

I didn't want to appear condescending in any way, and it doesn't seem like you took my response in that way at all, so...just noticed on another post that you're 33. You could be my boy. I have to wonder if when you look around you see people your age that seem dumber than crap? Constantly doing dumber than crap stuff? It looks that way to me, but hey I'molder,wiser. Seems like your generation can't get their GD faces out of their phones! No offence intended, I'll give anyone the benefit of the doubt if they seem like a real person.
I find these circumstances funny.
WHAT'S THAT YOU'RE FLIPPING IN YOUR AVATAR ???I lived 55 years of MY life without feeling the need to, really, get into guns, just because. Why do people "feel the need" to critique a persons desire to get into the firearms culture?
You need to add an old shoe.Yeah, we replenished our secondary freezer with half a cow last week. The dogs benefited as well…

Wifey, at 57, has a hard time finding people from 18 into their 30s that will show up for 5 shifts in a row. Granted the grocery biz isn't all glamorous and high paying, but they don't seem to need the money? They all have these problems that keep them from coming to work for more that 4-7 shifts in scheduled period! They all seem to be either lazy, or lairs!You have no idea. IMO, the millennial generation is split in two. I sling code for a Fortune 200 company. A lot of my coworkers are in my demographic. We've all got kids, mortgages, car payments, and are pretty much just trying to make our way in the world. The younger half of this gen, however, seems to have a few screws loose. I'm still trying to figure out the societal events that may have impacted that difference.
Settle down old-timer. I'm sure your folks thought your generation was dumber than bricks as well.
Shoots, look at the world that you've left us. It's your generation running the world, not the youngsters.
WHAT'S THAT YOU'RE FLIPPING IN YOUR AVATAR ???
So a guy comes here wanting to help a friend who feels he's ready to make his first firearms purchase, and gets all sorts of crap from some people?
We should be doing everything possible to encourage this new person into firearms ownership, and not denigrating him for taking so long to make this decision. We should also be trying to ensure he gets the best advice, and assistance possible. If you don't have anything positive to add to it, why not just keep silent?
I am turning 65 in a few days.
I completely understand the why now thoughts of your friend, at 65 you start to realize your cloak of invincibility is starting to become tattered around the edges and you start to feel more vulnerable.
I would highly recommend the S&W EZ slide, 380 only because ammo is still a bit more attainable, I myself prefer the 9mm.
I think SafeFire in Camas does some nice training classes and they are affordable.
Hey, the OP is one a the guys here.. and his name isn't Karen.So a guy comes here wanting to help a friend who feels he's ready to make his first firearms purchase, and gets all sorts of crap from some people?

Read the above, the younger generation should try actually working, all the work, even the stuff that doesn't take a college degree and pay $70,000.00 a year to start. Now I know you work you butt of and you're whole family has work and earned every penny. Otherwise you wouldn't have posted here. And I know there are a lot of smart, hard working millennial and Gen-Z ers. But seems to me that too many of those two generations only want to have kids and the newest device. What the heck, the gov will pay for it!
I did not know that you could still get in at age 35. I would not like to be age 35 and go through Marine training. It wasn't real pleasant at age 18. The old man in my boot camp platoon was age 22.65 is the new 45, but unfortunately the maximum age to join the Marines is 35.
You can't. As I previously posted in this thread: it is still 28.I did not know that you could still get in at age 35. I would not like to be age 35 and go through Marine training. It wasn't real pleasant at age 18. The old man in my boot camp platoon was age 22.
Thanks- That is much more reasonable.You can't. As I previously posted in this thread: it is still 28.

PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGY ... I CAN BE A CLONE AT TIMES... I THOUGHT IT WAS YOUR DAD TYPING...

That's my Dad, always the jokester. My bro and I bought Mom and Dad an all expense paid night out to one of the finest steakhouses in the Salt Lake Valley for a Christmas present a couple years before he passed in 2010. He was having fun in the back of the limo. I doubt he EVER used that gesture for real.
There's no crap being flung here IMO. Just some questions. We really are a friendly bunch.
