It was brought to my attention by an EO member that my avatar may offend other members. Quote:At first glance it looks like another drunk redneck waving his guns around. Well let me tell you what was over looked in that picture. A man who has been married for twenty seven years,a father of two,grandfather of two,he likes hunting,fishing,street rodding and above all spending time with his family. At Christmas he and his wife donate toys to orphins and needy familys.He hunts and provides meat to "Hunters for the hungry" who distribute wild game to familys that may otherwise go hungry.He only enters his streetrod in shows that donate the money raised to charitys,not pocketed by the club. Redneck,sure why not.So look real close you will see a human being with a lot of heart. If your still offended, I would realy like to know,That's not my intention, It just fits the screen name.

I sent wellarmed a private message stating that some anti-gun people might view his avatar as another redneck waving his gins around. I did not call him a redneck and I did not say he was a drunk redneck waving his guns around. He took the redneck thing out of context. His avatar was not offensive to me, I also stated he had the right to use what ever avatar he liked. I did say that his avatar could be used as poster boy material by the anti-gun people, and I still think that. I also told him we don;t need to give the anti-gun people any ammunition to use against us pro-gun people.

I also told him in the private message that I am pro-gun, owning quite a few long guns and hand guns. I said we needed to protect our 2nd amendment rights especially now, with all the anti-gun people in power.

I don't need to grow a pair, I have a very nice pair, and I use them, put not to take a private message and turn it into a public one and then take part of it out of context and post it.

wellarmed should have posted the several private messages we sent to each other. Doing that would have showed that I was just trying to make a point that there are a lot of people out there who would like to take our guns away from us, and we need to do everything possible to prevent that.

I never attacked wellarmed in his choice of avatar he uses. I made that very clear several times. I also made it clear that I was not calling him a redneck.

I chose a private message rather than a public post because I felt the subject was best handled man to man and was a private matter.

Hey wellarmed if you have a pair how about posting all the private messages we shared about the subject.
