Title: TacTards: Are You One?
Post by: PegLeg45 on June 06, 2012, 01:34:42 PM
Saw this on Sheriff Jim Wilson's web page:

You might be a TacTard if…

1. That 7 pound AR you bought now weighs 10 ½ pounds due to all the gizmos and gadgets you’ve stuck on it.

2. When getting ready for a date you can’t decide which pair of tactical pants to wear.

3. You own a bayonet for your pistol.

4. For Christmas this year you gave every member of your family their own personal bug-out bag.

5. You’ve never shot a gun when you weren’t wearing tactical gloves.

6. You never use that clip-on knife in your pocket because you don’t know how to sharpen it.

7. You spend more money on guns & gear than you do on training and practice.

8. Your idea of firearms training is watching Rob Pincus talk about guns on TV.

9. The last actual violence that you witnessed was when you back-talked your mother. You ate the spinach anyway.

10. Your wife constantly tells her friends and family, “He’s really harmless.”


Okay, so why should Jeff Foxworthy have all the fun? Add your own “You might be a TacTard if…”. Just please keep it clean.

You might be are  a "tactard" if you buy anything advertised as "tactical", such as , bicycles, toilet paper, or double barrel shot guns.
You might be are  a "tactard" if your lever action rifle has an AR 15 collapsing stock cobbled onto it.

I think I'm safe.  I've never been there or done that.  I do spend alot on gear, but don't get to the range as much as I'd like.  Broke up a couple fights at work without breaking a sweat so do get my 'hands dirty' some.  I have worn my 5.11's on a date or two, but also have worn my Wranglers and Stetson so.

I have a couple Streamlights that I use the strobe function when I'm biking that has saved my bacon a couple times...figure if your gear saves your hide your not a mall ninja.  hehehe

Nothing wrong with "gear", if you use it.
It's the ones that buy it because some writer said it was the "latest greatest" or because it's stamped "tactical", then never use it.

You cannot shoot a gun without wearing full camo.

OOOPS!! When I recently flew home from Washington state I had to go to the local Wal-Mart to buy a shirt that did not have gun advertisement on it.  Didn't want the hassle with TSA.  I hope that don't make the TacTard list.

You might be a TacTard even if you are a level 70 on Call of Duty 1, 2 & 3 and kill my a$$ every time I move but don't know how to work the safety on the .22 your dad bought you in hopes of getting your overweight a$$ out of the house.
