    I’m the audience you’re talking too. I’m 32 and just got my first rifle. It was awkward for me at first, and attitudes like yours contributed to that.

    So fuck you man.

      Good stuff. Be sure to regularly train with it, or you might as well wrap a bow on it and give it to the people who will be trying to take it away from you.

          He is 100% a jackass but in this particular point he is right. Please learn and practice with your rifle. Untrained gun owners are a huge danger to themselves and others and they usually don’t realize it. And owning a gun doesn’t do you any good if it gets taken out of your hands in the first 5 seconds of an altercation.

          For your safety and others this is actually legitimately good advice.

            Welcome to the Assumption Club, where everybody is an ass!

            I bought it so it can sit in the rear window of my truck and make me look tough, obviously.

                Jesus Christ I couldn’t put a .22 through your skull at 50 feet, not because I’m a bad shot, but because it’s so FUCKING DENSE

                    You dunce I don’t own a truck, I drive a fucking Subaru, and the rifle is in a locked closet with the bolt removed and stored with the ammunition separately until I can afford a safe.

                    You are continuing to part of the reason I was hesitant to purchase it in the first place, so sincerely, go fuck yourself.
