I only got grief once. A C2 SOT friend and I were shooting some subguns and evaluating a couple of cans he brought with him. Along comes one of those self-righteous know-it-alls full of P&V. He starts out by saying if it was up to him these guns would be legal but then he goes on to tell us how we're jeopardizing the range, how ATF agents are everywhere and a high profile arrest could shut them down, yada, yada.

I was nice and explained the law to him, even showed him what a Form 4 looks like (my home address has a sticker over it). He settled down some. I offered him a chance to dump a mag, but he still wasn't all the way convinced and declined.

My friend thought I should have told him to F-off, but that doesn't help the cause. There's already too many "No FA" ranges in this country. Where does this rift between the "Elmer Fudds" and the NFA junkies come from anyhow? Can't we all just get along
