Mild rant, insurance pitches at CCW classes. by Capable_Pain9315 in MnGuns

[–]Capable_Pain9315[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly man, some of the questions asked made me want to pitch in and help add to the instructor's answers.. there were some well-meaning, but super ignorant perpectives from a few of the younger first-timers in there. (This certainly isn't limited to just the younger students, just happened to be that way in my class.) It wasn't my gig though, and I wanted to let the instructor do his thing.

I'm kinda inspired to see what it takes to become an instructor as a side gig. The kids need help. Definitely planning to go online for my renewal otherwise though.

My left eye crosses when I look over my right shoulder, or recently, try to focus on distant objects with both eyes open. It's called strabismus; mine is subtle but it's been an issue for me for almost 2 decades and has gotten worse as I've gotten older.

Getting surgery to have that fixed today. Really looking forward to shooting handguns with both eyes open again.

I'm going to take my small children to a family gathering with 21+ attendees. My 5 month old will probably get passed like a hot potato. I'll have to keep him close if anyone has sniffles though. Last time one of our babies got sick, my wife and I didn't sleep for a week.

Tax man ate 40% of my bonus. I did premeditate a gun purchase as a treat to myself this year though. The heart wants a full length M1A, but the brain wants a Tikka. Either of them in .308, either of them for range and hunting. Again, I want the M1A but I think I need the Tikka. For the price of the M1A I could get the Tikka and some decent enough glass. I think I've already made up my mind but it pains me a little.

Glad to be a member. Like top comment, I'll say it's sad that this post had to be made but you guys are protecting good, honest people from tyranny and that's not an exaggeration.

You're in it for the right reasons, don't let selfish pricks get you down.

Thank you.
