TupeloSGA, I will debate with ya some on the woman at the counter part. You may be knowledgable in guns, whatever. Nobodies not saying that. But just because you are doesn't mean a vast majority of women are.

I mean i am a fiber optic engineer that came from the coal mines of Ky. If some indian, or chinese engineer said, "well you talked to a eastern Ky about optics, thats your problem", I wouldn't be too offended. In fact I would understand. Its an extreme rarity to find a fiber optic supposed "expert" from the coal mines of eastern Ky. And the chances of getting "right" advise about propagation of a pulse down 1200KM of NDSF is much greater with an Chinese engineer working in the US than one from Ky. But it doesn't mean I can't answer the question, and that sure doens't mean any engineer from Ky could answer it. I mean all rattlesnakes won't bite ya. But its the majority of them that give them the bad name. Statistically speaking, I bet a persons chance of getting good gun advise from a women at walmart would be significantly lower than a man. Just talking the truth here.

Its good to see ya in the "hunting" game. I wish more would follow your example. I believe if my wife would have took up the interest, I wouldn't have gotten a divorce.
