When asked about my talents, I just let them know I can clap with no hands.
Considering today's political environment, would you advertise your "skills?"

From the outside looking in
2 weeks after you show them how to shoot they’ll forget about you
they won’t forget the guy who asked them if they’d fire on civilians...
I can’t remember what my friend in high school was good at but I can remember some dumb shit he said.
ymmv

Yeet yeet yo homie!!
With a pistol
While I was RO'ing at my club, I had a National Guard member stop in to shoot his Ar. We asked him the same question about opening fire if instructed, since his buddies were at the Capital. He said "If instructed.... Yes, without a doubt". I was blown away by the response. It's been a while since I've had my eyes opened like this!
Most kids today spend more time playing video games than interacting with people. Many are raised by women. Given a chance to experience real fellowship and enjoy manly things and learn what it means to be a man will open a deep thirst in them for more. Never pass up a chance to chat with a young man. Invite them back out. Provide that thing they are missing. They will surprise you if you do your part.
And shut up about shooting civilians. It’s crackpot stuff.
Half the Gaurd I talked to in DC have no ROE and are fed shit. Their leadership sucks. Be a leader they can trust

The myth of the Lone Wolf sheep dog is a myth. I don't care how many matches you've shot, 3 gun or PRS, a SWAT Team or NG Infantry squad is going to ruin your day.
Take care of your family, get to know your neighbors, become friendly with them, and be a solid human being. Stock up on food, stay proficient at protecting your family's security and financial stability, help those that need a strong back, and stop fantasizing about Red Dawn scenarios. You'll be happier and make more of a difference in the world.

Now you are asking alot. You be lucky if they knew how many rights were on the Bill of Rights.
Additionally, if they could name 4 it would be a miracle.
The surviving families of the Waco incident don't agree with you.
Next time you see him ask him if he knows what happens to traitors...............
I think most wouldn't, but I'm sure there are some who are brain-dead that would. They would be violating the first and foremost part of their oath.
I always found the idea of “fighting for freedom” or “fighting for the country” perplexing when one doesn’t know the nations 10 basic rights, which is really all the country is.
Be better to just be honest and say you’re fighting because it’s the best pay and bennies your lack of skills will afford you. Nothing wrong with it, just I can respect if if folks can leave the marketing sales pitch at home.

That was the ATF and the FBI, and a small group of idiots in those Agencies, not ARNG Infantry.
Had it been well trained troops, well led, the compound would have fallen in about thirty seconds.
We are fortunate that the left always telegraphs its moves and then overreaches. My guess is we are all being spied on now and there will be some big Palmer Raid that will backfire.
It was the state, a state approved action that went all the way to the Whitehouse.
Who cares what color outfit the perpetrators wore?
How about secret hand signs and handshakes, like the Freemasons? Then you'd have your answer if the stranger is a trusted ally or potential enemy.
It's a smart-ass, flippant response now but not to the powerful groups that have stayed powerful for centuries and run the world.
See pic of Mike Pence shaking hands and receiving his coin from the masked man after certifying the fraudulent election.

Who’s version of “correct”?
I’d say they are very correctly trained, same as police, they are trained only as far as to obey and to be technically proficient enough to complete their assigned tasks, more akin to a trained attack dog, than some type of warrior monk, or other romantic hero following a honorable code.
Well, in their defense you aren’t giving us a lot to go on. They suck at shooting what size target at 300yds, from offhand, prone... and with what? Irons, RDS, scoped rifles? You said ARs so we at least know that much. And to be honest, lots of guardsmen probably haven’t touched a rifle really since initially coming on. But yeah I hear you. Also, to be honest, if I didn’t really know you and you just pop me the question on whether or not s someone going to follow orders and just start taking people out then it’s not surprising they took a moment to answer you. That would be a pretty shocking question for most anybody, especially from someone that is unknown. I don’t see anything unreasonable in this situation and probably would have taught them to shoot. However, you do bring up an interesting point I’ve wondered about in the past and that is whether or not we should be passing on the torch. To those vetted, sure. But I kind of feel almost as if there needs to be a vetting process even tho, it’s not something anyone couldn’t really learn on their own should they really want to put in the time and effort.
Skills? Shit around here? Bo and Luke are more gooder at shooten shit than most of the military. And really, how far do you think you will be needing to shoot in a shit show?
95% plus of the population is in an urban environment. 1K yards and mil vs moa are not going to be a skill set needed to survive.

You just ruined every prepper and apocalypse guys dream on the hide, in one post
Exactly! I was going to say the same thing but was trying to be um, more gentle-like.
You know since the pit has become more PC and all, have to be careful round here.Word!
I am still confused about the post.
- brought them out to my place / multiple steel targets out to 850
- asked provocative questions
- should I not talk about shooting skillz?
I'd say it was all on the table without having to say a thing.
Kinda like bumper stickers....thanks for letting me know your thoughts in advance.

THIS IS AWESOME....continue please. I tell EVERYONE how cool I am! Oh hey you guys...I'm awesome
If you've got steel to 850 yards then anyone you'd need to worry about can see that you shoot LR from satellite pictures. Not sure why you'd worry about what a few rando's think or know.
Better to spread knowledge than hide in a shadow.
As James Yeager (like him or hate him, doesn't mean he's wrong) says: If you think it's time to bury guns, it's time to dig them up.
After all, if you're afraid to even talk... well.. not likely to show up for a fight.

I guess you subscribe to the "I was only following orders." train of thought and are one of the 85% who would open fire on citizens.
Me no, I think many rightfully found their place at the business end of a three strand rope with that crap.
I just get the nature of folks, most do follow that
If they are of the "do what the government commands you.." mindset, I don't need to be improving their skills. As far as showing up for a fight, I don't need to be ambushed by a bunch of brain-dead robot communists in the middle of the night. I can accomplish a lot more if I'm the one "showing up."
What skills? Besides, everyone that knows me already knows how good my stripping skills are!
Maybe it depends on who these “citizens” are.
Firing upon rioting, looting, murderous, gangbangers during times of unprecedented unrest, vs. firing upon law abiding patriots due to a left driven witch-hunt.
Joined yesterday. Located in a conveniently obscure small town. First post is to resurrect a year old thread that was already kinda suspicious with a throw away remark.
Man, I hadn't heard that the gov jobs were so understaffed that they were hiring incompetent morons like this. If you are going to spy on your own citizens, at least be competent.
