Jeanne was wasting the clerk’s time, just so she could write her damn article for Pussyman Quarterly.

There’s your problem, Jeanne.

Wow. I bet it really sucked having to leave New York City. Bet it sucked worse finding out that there was an entire world outside NYC that doesn’t really care about NYC.

She’s crossed the line now, owning both a rifle and a pistol – and a scary rifle too!
Soon she’ll be a pariah in her old life.
The fact that we welcome ‘the other side’ when they come to us is one of the key differences.
But yeah, it is a bit jarring to read a GQ article where the author is looking for something for their purse.

“we have the same conversation we always have: those damn guns and those damn people who insist on having them.” If ever there were a liberal stereotype, this is it. I found it refreshing that she was able to put aside her preconcieved ideas and how her perceptions changed during the article. On the whole, I thought it was a decent article.

The sad thing is, from the way she talks about guns, I know what kind of person she, and her “back east” friends are. I grew up with people like that. They can talk for hours about style, what is and isn’t in fashion. They can’t sew on a button. They know all about the latest green car. They can’t change a tire, and when it snows, they can’t dig thier green car (if they have one) out of a drift. These are the people that go to Alaksa on a wildlife tour, with thousands of dollars worth of name brand gear and have to be rescued, nearly dead, 1000 feet from a parking lot because they have no idea what to do when they fall down and get wet. The attitude that starts with “I don’t know anybody who’s been attacked, I don’t need to protect myself” ultimately becomes complete helplessness.

“…have to be rescued, nearly dead, 1000 feet from a parking lot because they have no idea what to do when they fall down and get wet.”
In a nutshell.

Good article. She put aside preconceived notions and actually did some good, generally unbiased investigative journalism. Rare these days, but it still exists. I rather liked the story.

Worse yet is that she live in south west PA, a place where schools still close for the first day of buck season. Everyone in SW PA, but the author, is armed. Firearms, hunting, and shooting are part of daily life on the edge of the rust belt. My guess is that she’s never really taken time to get to know her neighbors.

Reminded me of the Antony Bourdain visits Ted Nugent show. Yes, it’s a different world, but guess what, we’re both not crazy, just different.
And shooting something full auto helps a lot, even Bourdain was grinning shooting that M60 from the hip.

You can bet that her support for “diversity” just dropped dramatically.

From the article: “I wasn’t going to commit a heinous act—not unless I had to defend myself or my family.”
I hope this was just poor word choice because I find it disturbing that she would consider defending self or family to be “heinous.”
