RANT: Knowitalls

[Fox Mike]

As many may know, I have been attempting to acquire a new Bearcat w/sights and wrote a 'rant' about all the hoops one must go through to finally get one in my hand. I went to another forum today and one of the posts was a question on what had to be done to get a handgun approved and put on the 'accepted' Maryland Handgun Roster. One individual said that one had to buy the particular gun then send it to the Maryland State Police and then they would look at it and decide if it was OK. I explained that that was NOT the case and that there is a form with a series of information that has to be sent to them on each model of any handgun they would like to have OKed. Now, I have spoken with the Administrator of the Handgun Roster acceptance board as well as my local FFL holder so I am rather sure of the correct procedure to follow to have any handgun accepted/rejected. He still will not believe me. I never brought up to him that he couldn't buy the gun unless he was a FFL holder, which he isn't, so he sure couldn't submit it to the board.
Freekin' knowitalls truly tick me off. Why ask a question if you don't want to accept the answer?

I truly fell sorry for you guys living in States that put you through all this crap over owning several guns. It would be very hard for me to live in Maryland, although I traveled the State for many years and the Western part is a beautiful place.

I can think of several topics where certain people think they are absolutely correct with their opinion.

To me they are as obviously wrong as the old flat earth society. ...but what can you do?

Out here, the manufacture has to pay extortion, err a fee, to the state to "test" the handgun, oh, and they have pay it every year. You see they need to make sure it is safe. What amazes me is that they don't do that with things like hammers or cars or jet aircraft. But handguns, yep, can't trust the manufacturer to make a reasonably safe product. Why you'd think the threat of liability just isn't enough for them to make sure things work as advertised.

C'mon Jimbo the earth really is flat. Haven't you seen the line way out on the ocean when you were fishing?

For those who are still a little unclear on the concept of what a "trolling post" is, here you go. :roll:

Jimbo, you know I am trying very hard to show you a modicum of respect. Do you think you could be adult enough to meet me halfway?

The anonymity of the keyboard is the most efficient enhancement of a person's intellect ever discovered.
It also has a deleterious effect on some people's "politeness gauge".

MODS: Please lock this as the verbalization now has absolutely nothing to do with what the original post is about.
