What are your firearms related pet peeve’s?

[Old Dog]

People insisting on open carrying to protest rallies at state capitols. Yes, it's your right, but it just winds up the anti-gun politicians and increases their following.

And that's how we ended up not being able to carry firearms at all in our state Capitol Building.

Those who think their manhood is measured by BIG guns and thousand-round magazines.

We could say the same thing about BIG trucks, too.

Some of us are happy with our little guns though, because my snubby has been 100% reliable, never malfunctioned and I've never heard any complaints about it (that I know of).

Didn't read the entire thread..

Not having enough cash flow to pounce on ALL the good deals I've seen over the years.

People's attitudes and overrated opinions of themselves.

Gun owners who are the casual types who own a gun or maybe a few and HAVE ZERO IDEA what is being put in bills and being passed around or even voting on the matter because they're so ignorant.

What about us who'd like to get out and train more but are "opportunity impaired"? (Things like lack of suitable place, mobility, tied down with demanding and bedridden relatives needing 24-7 care... yeah yeah, I know, "excuses are like a$$holes, everyone's got one and they all stink.")

Except mine

A big pet peeve, buying a gun over a month ago and still waiting for a bgc even though I went through all the hoops to get a chl.

That most Politicians can't/don't understand simple English. As in.....

"......shall not be infringed."

I've heard all these pet peeves before.

For something new, does anyone have some wild peeves?

Most peeves are " farm raised "

Mine are ethically-raised, free range peeves... they all have names.

I'm about 3 or 4 weeks into a legislatively-induced, competency-challenged waiting period right now too.
I believe that it's being perpetrated wilfully with malice and I am NOT happy about it.

Probably gonna ruffle some feathers here, but.....optics on handguns. It's the dumbest fad I've seen in ages. It's not a rifle! It's supposed to be easy to carry....making a carry gun bigger by putting a giant optic on it defeats the purpose. Now some gun companies are starting to make guns with wider slides (Walther PDP) to accommodate an optic. Ridiculousness.

Another one is putting suppressor or optic-height sights on a pistol from the factory, and then expecting ME to replace them with something normal. F- you, seriously.

But it's "Tactical". '

I for one like optics on pistols. Haha. Definitely doesn't make them harder to carry…..

A small reflex sight doesn't much affect the carrying of a handgun. And, they make the gun quicker and easier.

That said; many moons ago, when it started being a thing, I tried a Bushnell TRS 25 on a .22/45 as an inexpensive trial. Worked good, but made it stupid big and clunky.
So yeah, if you put a vintage sniper scope on your LCP, ridiculous. But something like a Delta Point or Fastfire, sweet.

Unless it's one of these...



Or these!

The idea that you actually NEED a 30 round magazine for everything.

The idea that you need two sets of personal body armor. Or one, for that matter. My pal of 60 years in New Mexico, are you listening?

What's wrong with 30rd mags and body armor? Honestly curious

Just for fun, I put an inexpensive Browning reflex sight on my Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite. It's ridiculous how easy it is to hit targets with that thing now. However, it seems like the sight is quite vulnerable and I would be very hesitant to use it on a carry gun. Maybe the more expensive reflex sights are tougher?

 

[Jbsheepdog]

gun safes that only hold half the amount of guns they advertise.

So EVERY FRIKING GUN SAFE ON THE MARKET?!

 

[Jbsheepdog]

Never question our Lord and Savior. That said, I would rather have a rock to defend myself with than a .25 ACP...

Ok you get a rock and I'll empty my beretta jet fire into you. We'll see how ya do

I've got way more guns in my safe that it says it will hold. But getting to certain rifles, and getting them back again and door closed, can be is like a puzzle.

They are. You should be able to beat on them. Not that you should beat on them, but you shouldn't have to worry about them breaking.
