I agree with your analysis Doc. I am seeing more people show up with basic (barely) costume, jump boots and thousands of dollars worth of firearms. They usually hop out of Jaguar XJ-8s and seem to be much more common these days. I am not disparaging their finessed firearms. The problem is, they have no idea of safety, they have 0 military experience, they can't tell a hi-base shell from a sparkplug. They do have a ton of money invested in their firearms. They are eager and learn fast but, generally must be untrained first. We refer to gunshop commandos often. These shooters seem to be internet cowboys. They are good folks when you get to know them. They just show up at the range with expensive gunsmith tuned firearms and treat them as toys. They have come out to play. I keep thinking of Ralphie, the fisnet stockinged leg lamp and the flagpole. Seriously, they can't quite grasp that their toy is a weapon and can kill. It seems that we are creating an image of spend money, spend more money, buy a $10,000.00 RV parking spot and have fun. Keep spending money while you are having fun. Did I mention that money should be spent? (soapbox rant over)
