I understand your point. I just don't know how you can say these things about your shooting buddies and know that you would not feel the same way towards me once you meet me. I am a good guy. You won't even give me a chance. But, if that's the way you feel so be it.
But as I read your posts, I have a distinct vision of a of you as a stereotypical person. I see you driving out to meet the guys with a .45 strapped to your hip, a small arsenal of weapons, a wad of chew in your face and a massive 500 pound bumper on a big tired pick up truck. Am I close?
