It is so easy to get caught up in our opinions and beliefs that we just shun someone off as someone we don't care for. In reality I would venture to say that 90% of the true outdoorsmen, hunters, and gun loonies on here would all get along and be friends in a face to face encounter. Don't be so fast to judge a person by their internet opinons.

In person people tend to pull their opinions back a bit when they realize someone does not agree. Many of my personal friends are hard right, it doesn't come into play with our friendships. In fact we make a point to keep conversations on a boat fishing to non stress topics.

The major difference between belief and fact is those who believe something have come to a conclusion no facts will contradict. Well informed people are open to new facts that oppose their beliefs. That also defines an open and closed mind.
