So I'm at work today, and this guy starts bragging about the unregistered firearms he owns. Now, I'm all for firearms, and I'm completely against registration of any kind, but bragging about how you're breaking the law is just dumb. Making sure that everyone around knows how you own multiple firearms which you have failed to register in accordance with state law is stupid. Especially when you are doing it to impress the people around you with how tough you are.
I let the people around me know I own guns, and that my wife knows how to use them. I make vague comments at work about how my wife and I have practiced defending our home against intruders. I do it not to impress anyone, but so that the casual aquaintances around me have some idea that my home and my wife are not easy targets. I'm not against that.
What I'm against is bragging about how you're flouting the law so that you can impress the people around you. It's stupid and dangerous, and probably a lie. Behaving in that fashion can get you in trouble.
When he started bragging about how he liked to carry his gun tucked into the back of his pants so everyone could see he was armed I had to leave the room.
