Okay, we admit it; sometimes we are wise-guys. However, if your local liberals learn that you are a gun owner, shooter or hunter, you are likely to hear some really stupid questions and comments about guns and hunting. Sometimes the temptation to employ a little sarcasm becomes too tempting to resist. Here are some pithy answers to dumb questions/statements that we have heard. Use at your own risk.
