ITT: gun pet peeves

[send it_hit]

Saw someone pick up an AR by the mag today at work for the millionth time... That drives me crazy.

Go ahead and air out all the little things people do with their guns that make you go insane... Do it. You'll feel better!

[Mr.1904]

Calling mags 'clips'

Bothers the hell outta me.

Calling mags 'clips'

Bothers the hell outta me.

So I can't just call this a "clip" for short?

[Divernhunter]

People who buy a $700+ rifle then put a $39 scope on it.
People who do not sight in their rifle before hunting. Often stating "the gun shop bore sighted it for me"
People who work in gun shops who think they know what I need/want better than I do without being asked.
People in gun shops(or otherwise) who have never killed an animal or even hunted who think they are experts on 1) rifle selection 2) cartridge selection(and not it is NOT called "caliber") 3) bullet selection for a given game animal and act like they know what they are talking about.
Unsafe people at the gun range or when hunting.
People who show up with one box of ammo to sight in and shoot a rifle and start shooting from the 100 yard line hoping to hit the target.
People who shoot the target frames at the range and not the 4'X4' area where the targets belong as well as where the bullets should be hitting.
People who put a Hubble Space Scope with 27 dials on a BG HUNTING rifle then expect the game to wait 38 minutes for them to find it in the overpowered scope and make 46 adjustments before shooting. Remember the K.I.S.S. princple on BG scopes.

That is enough for now.

[Capybara]

People who are unsafe with guns. Period. This supersedes any other nit pick. I don't care what you do with your guns as long as you aren't going to accidentally shoot me, yourself or anyone else.

[Sgt. J Beezy]

Unsafe handling of weapons period.

Spreading of FUD!

Finger in trigger any other time than pulling it...

[Fractured]

^^^^^ happens to my gf too.

Muzzle swipes by guys "dates" at the range. Make sure you go over safety rules before shooting.

Guys that shoot one handed and miss the paper.

People trying to pick up MY brass.......

[Zimz]

-"clips"
-muzzle sweeping even on the showroom floor
-the guy with a $3000 tacticool rifle shooting at the 25 yd line and can't clear a double feed without help from the 15 yr old range assistant

[Faust]

Ignorant and/or emasculated gun people that embrace draconian restrictions on the 2A.

[KWB977]

people who buy a $2000.00 AR with $1500.00 in optics, lights, lasers, bi pods, painted etc.......... punching paper at the range complaining how much ammo costs.

[KWB977]

Men who bring in their dates and give no instruction/range courtesy and tell them "Just point it and pull the trigger" ~~~crickets~~~~ "Which part is the trigger again?"

oh yeah that too......

those are usually the mag dumpers who cannot hit the side of a aircraft carrier at 5 yards

[SFgiants105]

When someone picks up a gun and their finger is already on the trigger... makes me nervous

[fizux]

Unsafe people at the gun range or when hunting.

Unsafe conduct exceeds what I would consider a pet peeve, which implies a minor infraction.

My recent pet peeve was a punk kid in the next lane trying to surreptitiously check out my wife's @$$ while she was shooting; he ended up stepping all over our brass because he wasn't paying attention.

[Divernhunter]

People who have a liget 1000 yard rifle and say it is for "self defence".
Guys who think girls/ladies should not be at the range or out hunting and talk down to them. I have a daughter who has been shooting since she was 4.5 years old and can out-shoot most of the mouthy ones at the range, has been BG hunting and will be going to Africa in 2013 to hunt with her own custom rifle. She is 21 now and owns more rifles/pistols than many of the other people out there.
People who complain about costs but then feel fine about shooting up $100 of my ammo(especially the 50BMG stuff).
Anyone who votes anti-gun/Demo and is anti-hunting.
Calling a specfic chambering "caliber" and not "a cartridge name"
Not letting me pick up their empties-----Just kidding!
