I am not a violent man, in my youth I made many mistakes in judgement and actions, but I am older and wiser now. But my pappy taught me to never let a man insult family, dog, truck or gun, and now some danged fool has gone and insulted 2 or the 4. I went to have lunch with the wife who is in the middle of taking her CCW test and she tells me the story of the guy at the range who checked her weapon. She locked the slide back on my Mitchell, just like a good shooter, and handed it to him. He immediately hits the slide release and drops the slide.
Then he dry-fires my pistol that I spent 6 long careful hours getting the ding out of from the last numbskull who thought dry-firing was a good idea.
Then he starts pulling on the rear sight bracket while telling the wife that it's jammed closed.:banghead: She, being much more level headed than I, calmly took the gun back from him and racked the slide again. He then launches into a loud sermon on how the Mitchell's are POS's, how High Standard sued them because they were giving High Standards a bad name, and how she shouldn't use it anyway because the safety is on the left side and she's left handed! Then tells her she can rent a Ruger MkII, which last time I looked also had the safety on the left side. He then told the next woman in line that her S&W 38 was a useless weapon for self defense because the .38sp is a weak round and the snubbies are inaccurate. What does he suggest she buy? A Kel-tec .380 of course. Now the wife has made me promise to play nice, but after the class is over I plan to go up and let him know just what a jackass he is, and I hope to do it when there are plenty of people around.

(Good thing my wife is out of town for a week ...)
