I was just trying to point out that gun owners are often unfairly sterotyped as such, Mig. So in my own way I was sticking up for the gun owner. But let's be honest, city dwellers and rural people are different. Over the years you've hinted that most New Yorkers are moneyed snobs, when that couldn't be further from the truth.

But you're not from an urban setting, FF. You're from a Mid-Jersey suburb. You have no more in common with a native New Yorker than someone from Kentucky. So are you really being objective when you say that? I know plenty of city people who'd give you the shirt off their backs. That we're all rude is as much an unfair stereotype as the hillbilly stereotype.

And as I've pointed out, I love traveling through the South smile.
