Just kidding. This and other stupid questions brought to you courtesy The Firing Line.

Well, folks, I have seen some rather - er, well, *unusual* questions posted here on TFL. Some of them leave me shaking my head and wondering what some folks are thinking.

Anyway, what are some of the stuipest gun/ammo/hunting questions you have ever been asked?

Here are some of my favorites:

While buying at Wal-Mart, two giggly sorority chicks looked at me buying ammo and asked "Do you shoot people?"

At Sports Authority: "Do you have a P-38 machine gun?"

"Where can I get the ice bullets? You know, the ones that go through cops."

<understand that I live in Florida> "What caliber should I use for Polar bears?"
 
Everyone know you use a 454 Casull for killer whale. or an acceptable alternative is the Desert Eagle in 50AE Sheesh! don't you know anything about Orca hunting. Just kidding G.R. :)
 
When will this trend toward silly questions stop??

I'm moving this over to the General Discussion forum... (And I'm locking the next one that shows up.)
 
Why not start a "WHAT IF" forun here at TFL?

Then = all these questions can be debated and answered by real experts.. inquiring minds wanna know!
 
Answer to the sorority girls...

"No, but occasionally I get the urge. I'm getting one now. Better run."

Beware the man with the S&W .357 Mag.
Chances are he knows how to use it.

"[Even if there would be] few tears shed if and when the Second Amendment is held to guarantee nothing more than the state National Guard, this would simply show that the Founders were right when they feared that some future generation might wish to abandon liberties that they considered essential, and so sought to protect those liberties in a Bill of Rights. We may tolerate the abridgement of property rights and the elimination of a right to bear arms; but we should not pretend that these are not reductions of rights." -- Justice Scalia 1998
 
A .22 will work with proper shot placement... :rolleyes:

Actually, it better be a glock. That way you can shoot him underwater! (At least with ruptured ear drums you won't hear him crunching your bones.)

Just go to Astoria and see if the musieum will loan out their whale gun. The fence along the front uses whalegun harpoons for posts. Talk about a nasty looking gun, but they also have a one pounder off the battle ship Oregon too. Now that would be a killer whale gun. :) :) :)
 
The stupidest thing I think I have heard coming from someone about guns is this:

"We need safer guns, safer bullets"

And *suprise* Janet El Reno said it.

Killer whales are just big dolphins. Now sperm whales on the other hand....

OT I was on an icebreaker when I was in the Coast Guard. A pod of killer whales would follow our ship up the ice channel because the penguins were too dumb to move out of the way of the ship, and so made easy pickings for the Orcas.

Reminds me of a story I heard about British pilots during the Falkland campaign.

There was one beach which was populated by thousands of penguins. The pilots learned a neat trick. They would fly parallel with the beach in one direction, and the penguins would all turn their heads, following the path of the plane. Then the pilot would reverse course, with the same effect. He would then fly directly out to sea, the penguins watching all the while. He'd then make a 180 turn, and come back directly over the beach. Thousands of penguins would stare at the plane, and as it passed over their heads, they would continue to tip their heads back to watch it until, en masse, they would all fall over on their backs.
Dumb birds. :)
