(12,751 posts)in a sub-thread about the best way to insulate his assault rifle from water while he was taking a shower, and still be able to get at it in a second's notice, ready for bullet-spraying action. Any number of Gungeoneers - some of them still posting on DU3 - went into that sub-thread and gave him serious advice on just how to do that, using ponchos adapted for the purpose, rain-proof camping sheet covers cut and draped over the piece at just the right angles, use of water-tight plastic "go-to boxes," etc., etc.
One even chimed in that he'd had the same problem - was so in dread of some "goblin" or "bad guy" breaking in while he was showering that he just had to have his 12 gauge at his side at all times, including in the shower - and he'd come up with a novel solution: cut the arm off an over-sized rain slicker, seal the muzzle end of the garment shut with roofing expoy, leaving the breech end of the apparatus open for quick trigger access in the event of a Norman Bates incident.
When I posted about this recently on DU3, just as an aside, several of our "pro gun progressives"* insisted that the sub-thread was all satire, meant to mock us "anti's," and that not one poster in it was serious about the subject matter that was under discussion. Some even suggested that the poster himself was an "anti" posting as a Gunny in order to embarrass our poor, put-upon "pro gun progressives."*
That's all horseshit, of course: every single poster in that sub-thread was as serious as the day was long at the time, and several got quite irritated at the justified mocking of them by liberal and progressive DU'ers for it in that very thread.
In any event, is there anywhere the "RKBA" crowd doesn't think it has some kind of "right" to carry? Even private property? Day cares? Elementary schools? Hospitals? Simply unreal.
