FT - To your point on mags: A couple that my GF has known for a long time, have made a few 'uninformed' comments about 30rd mags over the last week or so.

I haven't known them for long, and I don't really jive with their personalities. So I've tried to walk a fine line, be respectful and not say too much. I know the guy owns a .38 S&W, but they're not gun people.

This evening they stopped by. The gal made another "nobody needs those big magazines" comment. I have no idea how the conversation began, but her comment was made as I came in from the other room. I calmly asked "Would you like me to show you how quickly mags can be changed?" She responded with "You mean you have an assault rifle?!". I just repeated my question. They wanted to see it, so I showed them. Not fast, just smooth. Her response was: "Are you kidding me?" His response was: "Really. That's it?" Later, when the gals were talking about something else, he said "I guess we sounded like dumb asses". I just told him "Lots of people make bad assumptions".

I didn't get all "constitutional" with them. I had a long day at work and just didn't want them in my house that long.

One small victory.
