conversation w/ an anti-gun coworker (funny)

I just bought a new rifle during lunch and got an instant message from a co-worker. I know he's very anti-gun and thinks guns are dangerous, but I was so happy I wanted to let everybody know... so here's part of our IM:

...
me(1:30:30 PM): How was your lunch?
him (1:30:50 PM): good but small, staying light for the marathon on sunday
me (1:30:54 PM): I went out and bought a new rifle during my lunch :)
him (1:31:12 PM): ok, don't bring it inside - might start a panic
me (1:31:19 PM): hahaha..
me (1:31:43 PM): I've got to take you shooting sometime :)
him (1:31:55 PM): ok, but i cannot run THAT fast
...

I didn't expect that he's got a sense of humor. Now it is time to tell my other gun loving co-workers :)

You shoulda told him you can help him by increasing his motivation!

Ok, lots of people wanted to see my rifle so had to show it to them. I didn't expect this much interest in a little .22LR rifle :)

Even had a couple of people (whom I don't know) coming back from lunch come over to check out the commotion.

Mithras61, I decided not to go too far since he's really very anti-guns. He's originally from Canada, so I'm hoping maybe a few more years in Texas will change him into at least a gun owner :)

Just use the word (EH...) at the end of everything you say to him. He'll warm up to you pretty soon.

Keep working on him.

Are you saying they didn't come back?

I knew there was some reason I bought that 45/70...This was one of them...

I saw the opening and just could not resist it, but I forgot the j/k or

afterwards. Please rest assured Mi nombre no es Anibal. Speaking of things Canadian, I would like a Canadian-brewed Molson Export right now, but I am on call and hundreds of miles from the land where it tastes best. So whoever reads this, please party safely on my behalf, OK?

and

in that order, never the other way.

Yeah, 45/70 would be a good choice for hogs.

Friend of mine from Australia sent that picture to me. I haven't killed any near that size. Make up for it in numbers though...(I hate hogs).

Heck, those are the most fun! I just got my wife a Mossberg 702 so she wouldn't keep burning .243 on target practice, and just like the S&W M22 I got her, I think I'll be putting a lot more wear on it than she will.

One of these days I'll break down and buy myself some .22LRs.

Too bad he wasn't in a country that allows guns; he could've been seriously hurt getting close enough to slip that noose on it so he could hang it with the tow truck.

I guess they'll ban tow trucks now.

So what kind of .22 did you get?

I've been looking for a CZ 452 Scout but there don't seem to be any on the used market.
