Weapons and guns
Ya know...I really am not too fired up about this but the term weapon kind of bothers me. I know that a firearm can be a weapon...but a weapon is something that is INTENDED to be used against another human or against an animal that is a threat. When we call our firearms "weapons" we are actually injecting a little fear into some of the people we talk to. I know I know...political correctness etc. But still guys and gals..it is a rifle..or shotgun..or firearm. The word weapon is a nasty term to some. Especially when talking to ladies(sometimes referred to as Soccer Moms). I have taken quite a few youngsters out for an afternoon in the shooting fields and I always watch my terms for guns. It is hard enough without calling them weapons. Even in the hunting safety classes...they are never "weapons"...
Rant over...sorry a pet peeve I guess!!
