I have both safe queens and hammered field pieces, some get treated kinder than others, I love them all.
I've been on numerous tire burning trips - what else you suppose to burn out in the middle of a treeless desert? after a few dove hunts i took my browning 1 of 500 American Mallard (Midas class Belgium) squirrel hunting and the high base six cracked the grip of exhibition grade burl walnut. After Browning repaired it it became a safe queen until I sold it.

Pat, I don't like either of those terms since to me a gun slob is someone who doesn't hunt or shoot a lot and is not safe to be around when they are holding a gun. A gun snob is a self serving, self aggrandizing, smarter than thou David Petzal types, unlike John Wooters, jack OConner, and John Jobson. No, those are just average, everyday slobs and snobs. Unfortunately some of them own guns. We don't have to look far for those.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

So long as you can use some of it to look down your nose and fit your agenda I guess it does. I take notes from you.

Pretty up to the point of "can't take a little rubbin' and scrapin' or takin' a bath" is too pretty.
Except allowance made for not needlessly beating up antiques in the rain, being as they've survived this far in pretty nice shape. Still happens, but.

So why the new fangled binoculars and why aren't you shooting a matchlock? Looks like a new fangled cartridge sgooter to me. Because I don't effing feel like it. Is that a problem for you? Oh by the way...nice use of taxpayers $$ using www.public.iastate.edu/~jessie/PPB/Africa%202006/Warthog.jpg to store your hunting pictures Glad that you approve. I don't suppose you work for free do you? just pointing out your hypocrisy liberal What hypocrisy...the man shoots and is posting on a shooters site. ...are you sure you don't have your panties in a twist?
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Slob. A gun is a tool. I can slightly appreciate the pretty ones, but I don't own any.

Slob.
I use the dust cover on my AR to keep the grime in, not out. I'm flattered, you must have wiped your rifle down to meet me. I kept it closed to keep the crud off yer seat. See, even when it doesn't show I'm still doing little things fer ya.

While I appreciate finely made even fancy firearms, in my hands they soon become shooters however 'cause I won't own one I don't shoot the hell out of. Me too. Guess that's why we get along so well, huh?

i like a nice blued and walnut gun but would never own something i was afraid to get a scratch on. if i can't shoot it and hunt with it, i don't want it. unless i get a heck of deal on something to turn over.

95+ percent slob. It's kind of a relief when a rifle, scope or truck get that first real scratch. It usually means you're using it, not just lookin' at it. It's kind of liberating, as you know there will be more, soon. Drive it like ya stole it. It's even more fun when you see a snob have a conniption fit when they get some kind of a little ding in some of their gear.

I wonder where I fit into this cluster? I think I know, but I'll let the audience decide....

I've seen you get all sentimental and teary eyed about a pretty little model 42, so don't try to tell me you're a pure slob. Just mostly.
and definitely a tire burner.
Hey Jack! I want a 42...but not a "pretty one"! You know I like .410's. Went and looked up model 42's 410 for sale, lowest was 1,200 up to 15,000. and the lowest was pending sale. I'll keep an eye out for you Pat. No telling.

What hypocrisy...the man shoots and is posting on a shooters site.
...are you sure you don't have your panties in a twist? no but you do you apparently don't pay attention or maybe you are a liberal from Australia..........birds of a feather you know. so, eh76, does this make me a snob, a slob, or a liberal? It was over 180 yrs old and hunted in rain and snow and all it was was a grocery shopping tool. Worth just under $7k at the time, I don't think anyone has ever accused me of sheltering safe queens. Yup, I think your panties are pretty twisted.
