Yes I am useing my moms account. But I have every intention of joining this site so do my friends. Who by the way see my Dad as the only father figure they have ever known. Stop saying or implying bad things about my parents.
You do not want us joining with a vengeance. We would like to come here the same way as others do.

We are kids we could learn a lot of things here. But do not badmouth us as we have seen on some other post.
Personally I wasn't impressed but the rest of us were telling me let's give this site a chance, OK.
Do you want us or not? I'm hearing the same thing from my moms friends.

You do not act like it being kind, and I am not my mom or my dad. Think that and you will soon find out differently. My mom has been working on this for a long time now. She doesn't want to just walk away because of a few stupid members comments.I'm young deal with me old and opiniated. Arial

My mom and dad are asleep I am fully responsible for this content. I stole her iPad ok, it must be a plot to take
over the site. That man is a dumb a$$ lol And you all went along with him on such a stupid assumption.
Nothing in defence of my parents. Real tight group you got here. Depends on who you are?

Don't worry me and my buddies ain't joining this place is clannish.

Yes Arial most of us would enjoy seeing youth and ladies here. Some will not, that's the way life is. No matter what group you have there will always be some who are resistant to having young folks, old folks, lady folks or men folks around cuz they aren't the same as them.

It's just the way life is. You cannot let a tiny minority of people rule your life. You cannot let one or two who disagree with having new people join keep you away. I learned a long, long time ago ya got to develop a thicker skin than that.

Most here will welcome you and your friends just as most have welcomed your mom and dad. Sadly there has never been a time here or anywhere else that all will feel that way. They are hardly reason enough to not participate however.

The internet is a very impersonal medium and often times not the most friendly. I've tried hard over the years to make this a friendly place for all members of a CHRISTian family. That has always been my stated target audience for this site. That has not changed.

You are a very sweet man. I will forgive only because of Jesus and you. I do feel better now I no longer should use
my mothers account. But she was very upset and I was concerned. My friends and I are very young, may we still
Join? Teach us don't put us down. If you don't like our music do not listen. But we all like to shoot.

Come on old guys can we please get back on track? We need you and you need us. I guess Arial might become the kid connection for the site lol. Oh mom I'm so sorry.

hello Ms. Arial & welcome. ain't a thing special about me. just an old decrepit deplorable hillbilly. but the fact is, I've done nothin' to be called out on. my intent with my initial response wasn't well put but all I was tryin' to say was "chill dude."

now, once again, I could have said it better & for that I apologize to you, your dad, and your mom. but, if you will open your eyes, your mind, and your heart, then go back and read that whole post again, the rest of my comments were in response to your dad tryin' to belittle & besmirch me with his snark & I simply lowered myself to his level & responded in kind.

and if you can't see that I can only assume the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

luck to ya & have a good'en, bubba.

Sure you can join. I'd love to see my young grandson on here. He owns two rifles, two bb guns, a shotgun and a Ruger Bearcat. He's only 10. But he is just too much into war games when online. He has friends in many different countries around the world he plays the online games with and talks with them regularly online.

He has a lot of interest in guns and shooting but sad to me his online time is spent in war games. He even has his own game website or did. I guess he still does.

I'm sure you're right I wouldn't like your music but don't take it too badly, I really don't seem to care for music these days. I haven't turned on the radio in the last half dozen vehicles I've owned.

Ariel: Mom is mad because I used her account lol. Shooting you don't need to listen to our music. But we would be
very honored to have guys like you around Bill. We only have guys like my dad.

Kind man my friends have grown out of video games. They are watching this they want to seek out older teachers.
One asked my dad what is a model 29? I didn't know what that was. Members I'm only 18 years old do not fault me or my friends for that please.
 
#12 ·
well, I can see you took after yer dad instead of your mom. how sad.
 
#14 ·
A model 29 usually refers to the model 29 Smith and Wesson revolver, it is a 44 magnum and was
a big part of the explosion in the popularity of the 44 magnum cartridge.
Thanks for being here.
Let's see if we can keep that beautiful smile on mamma's face.
blessings

I had left the site up on my lap top and she went back there and started reading it. My apologies it won't happen again.

She is young and didn't know that your not supposed to do that. She's never been on a forum before only Face Book.

Children make mistakes if they are not told any different.

Well Ma'am, from the whining posts by some who exchanged thoughts with your young one, it seems they never got past that - I know I'm not but what about you - attitude stage that young people are in till near thirty years old. (Girls get out of it quicker than guys.)
Or as the Bible says to those who got their panties in a bunch over a young girls attitude:


(Ephesians 5:4). We should speak in such a way that the hearer will understand our motivation. And we should never be malicious or cruel. Carefully worded irony may be fitting, but malicious sarcasm is not.

What does "BARELY"19 mean or suggest
To me it sounds like
A statement that I still don't really get?
It is
a fella once said give her a break
she's just a "little pregnant"

Now don't spin this.
the question is.
Is Barley kind like say "a little"

Or does "Barely" mean one has or has not, the right to be accountable

If so the LITTLE pregamt would fit my assumptions

Posting at GBO is becoming a barrel of fun.Just as it once was.
Just a bunch of good folks yaking about anything.
Too,da'Lou' 4 now

After discovering forums the kids are saying wow :) This is a good sign giving them a place other than face book.

I don't think anyone ever walked them through it before. Maybe they might pick up on some knowledge from the older members that they never received in school.

They accually didn't know what a forum like this was no one ever took the time to show them.

Of course the schools are not going to instruct them about a place like GBO. Or any other place like this.

I can say for certain, as it has happend to me and continues to this day, when starting on a new forum (or going to a gun range) the first time, and subsequently, until your "newness" has worn off on the "usual range rats" (i.e. they see you as a "regular") or your skin gets thicker, it will seem like the guys here are just a bunch of stiff necked gruffs with nothing more to do than "chew on" (figuratively speaking) new posters.

Ask a question. Make a statement. Start a conversation. You only have your own imagination stopping you. After the first 100 or so posts, you're a regular.
I have over four DECADES (40 years) of land management, hunting, shooting, casting, reloading, and gun related experience. I posted a question on another site's Forum, one in which I had, at that time, less than 50 posts ('cause I spend my waking hours here - mostly). Unfortunately, too many of that site's "regulars" with their "thousands of posts" began a wrongful tirade about my UNSAFE practices.


Well, thanks to my experience and (word perfect) tact, I set them straight in no uncertain terms and got their apologies for THEIR misunderstandings and their flying off of the proverbial handle. The precept that a post count gives anyone the right to ASSUME makes an a$$ out of them. Misinterpretation can happen to any of us at any time. The written word is a very difficlt medium in which to commuikcate (see?). We get better and better as we practice it more and more often. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.


I can see how it might be for a young lady or young gentleman to be intimidated through their own seeming LACK of experience and no real confidence in the subjects in which they are interested. Doesn't matter here. We're not here to tear one another down...RIGHT GENTLEMEN?!?!?!? Yes, you know that to be right.

Not one of us is here to "beat up" on the other guy. That is out of bounds and will be Moderated OUT of these Forums, when it is discovered...please use PM to help Mods do their jobs. It is right there as an Exclamation Point inside of a Triangle at the bottom left hand corner under each Poster's Name. If it offends you it will offend the Mods as well. PLAY NICE. Leave old grievence IN THE PAST.


This site is Moderated for the CHRISTian Family Audience. Just because it is no longer owned by Bill, The Graybeard, is no excuse for the rules to be ignored or slackened. I, for one, have been here a long time and respect the foundation presented through these Forums. I will moderate to the fourndation of the GBO rules to the best of my ability. I may go awry from time to time, but not out of malice aforethought.

Richard i did not know that Arial was on my lap top. It was innocent at first they were only reading the forums laughing at the laugh for the day.

They were not aware that you had to have your own account. They certainly do now the site has made that very clear.

It didn't need to escalate any further than that. Richard the kids were thinking about being a part of this because I was here.

So it must be cool not like face book who is losing attendance. I'm sure many do but their generation knew nothing about forums.

It will come back around once people get tired of all the foul language, fighting, and porn on social media.

Just lock it down! Most members will forget it was ever started. Most of us old codgers can't remember what we did five minutes ago anyway.Old Duk and I moderated this thang for quite a while,and when things started to get out of control, we just shut er down.
