Not a rant.

Riposte I can understand the perspective you use for weapons. But perspective is exactly what I try to avoid by not using the word. When people hear the word weapon they immediately have visions of dire actions from other people. I sure am not too politically correct. I just try to let folks know that the tools I use for my fun and even income (in the past) are not intended to be used for weapons. If they are used for weapons it is as a last resort. Don't want or need to shoot anyone unless absolutely necessary. We have to work in ways to let the undecided know that the gun owners in this country are not a threat to their safety...which is exactly what the Brady bunch keep telling everyone...that we are a threat to them. You and I ...both know better. But we still have to convince the undecided! That is why I don't use the word...and cringe when I hear it in public...other than us shooters
