Then there's the Sooner, or more commonly reffered to as the Know it All.
He's the guy at a gunshow who claims to know everything about guns, ammo and their related accoutremants. The Sooner will tell you why his Bersa 9mm is better than my SIG and your Glock, and that guy's HK. The Sooner tells a good story, but it's just that. The Sooner says he can outshoot anyone at the range with any gun, but would pick his Bersa over anything else. When you tell the Sooner you plan to go out and do a little shooting, the Sooner is never avaialble (as if you'd really want this character along). People make fun of the Sooner, behind his back and to his face, but the Sooner is too busy telling his tales to whoever will listen to even notice. You can actually humor the Sooner for a little while, but just a little while.
After all you'd sooner blow your brains out than listen to another word.
