I hear you Jason, nothing is more annoying than someone blabing about firearms/shooting/hunting when in all reality they don't know shit & grossly exaggerate everything they say. This excruciating experience only multiplies intensity when the moron has been drinking.
It has gotten so irritating on multiple occasions that I will bluntly walk away when certain people start talking or just act like I have no interest in the topic.
My all time favorite (wont name names) was a couple summers ago & a jackass I used to work with. According to him he could out shoot anybody, blah, blah, blah. Long story short, my boss had seen me shoot on many occasions & determined a shootout was appropriate & so it was. He was thoroughly embarrassed in every disciipline in front of many co-workers and he kept quiet after that. </div></div>
Had a somewhat similar situation just the other daywhen me and one of my employees started talking guns and his desire to get into shooting some long range. I was just pointing out the slight advantages of .300 win mag over 30-06,(I was also stating he should start with something easier and more affordable to shoot) when this shitbag came over mouthing off and telling me what an idiot I was and that 300 winmag and 30-06 are both 30 caliber rounds so there is no difference, and you can't out gun me I have owned guns my whole life blah blah blah, I bet you don't even own any guns, blah blah blah. So I went into detail on the few guns I own and specs etc. and watched the dumbfounded look grow on his face. The only response I got was "Oh that sounds about right". So I questioned what he owns, "an ak and a m4 carbine", yeah ok buddy, why can't these idiots just disapear and decrease the surplus population!!!
