[QUOTE="Cowcatcher, post: 3219349, member: 43171"] This evening at an Academy in Tulsa. Mother and son (probably in his 20s) didn't sound like they new much about guns and I ain't knocking them. But, the guy working the counter saw some folks he could really show off to. He was showing em phone pictures of his skinning knives......his self defense knife which is his "go to self defense choice" and on and on. They mother and son decided on a rifle and started asking about scopes. Neither Academy professional gun expert could give any confident answers. Then one of pipes up with the following, "I don't really know scopes. I was Army blah blah blah and I can take any AR off our shelf, throw iron sights on it and you give me a 55 grain fmj I'll hit any target at 500 meters first shot!" Backup salesman said "Yeah I could probably do that after one practice shot....so yeah 2nd shot" I left the ammo aisle to go see my daughters buy more softball crap. Those two guys made me feel I had no right in the ammo aisle. [/QUOTE]
