A Fudd is someone who:
- Actually uses his guns in the activity for which they were intended.
- Doesn't think guns are a fashion accessory or a political statement.
- Doesn't select his guns based on what is on TV, in a movie, or the latest video game. "Yeah dude, it's just like the one Pacino had in Heat."
- Doesn't get the appeal of Airsoft and stopped playing with toy guns by age 10.
- Sees just as many gun errors in a movie as anyone else. Doesn’t feel the overwhelming need to mention it to everyone around him in the theatre.
- Has a bear defense gun because he actually goes places where he might encounter a bear other than the zoo.
- Thinks several hundred dollars spent on tactical crap to hang on a shotgun just to look badass is a waste of money.
- Thinks several hundred dollars spent on ammunition for a shotgun is money well spent.
- Believes that bragging about shooting a grouse with an 8" pump gun is as retarded as shooting a 3 gun match with a Krieghoff K80.
- Thinks anyone who says they frequently outshoot regular clay target shooters with their badass tacticooool "shottie" is not telling the truth.
- Sees a place for camouflage. The mall isn’t it.
- Uses the hunting rifle that is best for the job and isn't interested in hunting with a tacticoooool rifle just to make a political statement.
- Is more interested in precision use of a firearm at longer ranges and not rapid fire, spray and pray at 7 yard targets as big as a door.
- Has never shot a pumpkin and believes the appropriate weapon is a large knife artisically wielded at Halloween.
- When he doesn’t like what government is doing doesn’t think building a bunker, buying more guns and setting up claymore mines is a viable response. He does think joining the political party of his choice and actively works for and supports their candidates is.
- Doesn’t start to shake when he sees a police car. Understands they have a job to do even when he gets a ticket.
- If he has an encounter with the police doesn’t say “I pay your salary” or “I gots might rights.” Figures the police officer already knows that and if they don’t the side of the road isn’t the time or place.
- Thinks Molon Labe is a scented bath water product for women.
- Doesn't support a world where every dork drawing breath should be allowed to own whatever he wants without some conditions, universal registration NOT being one of them.
- Is someone for whom guns are an important thing but not the only thing.
To the OP: ignore Claybuster....his definition stems from some deep set personal issues, and as such, should be given about he same credibility as diet advice from Wendy Cukier
My definition is the accurate one.

Should read:
#19 is willing to throw every other shooter under the bus including you and future enthusiast if it means his cranky old tired ass can shoot targets until he finally drops dead.

You can't starve us out and you can't make us run, we are the old boys raised on shotguns.
Country folks can survive.

Take a new person out shooting today!!
Anyone who seems overly concerned what other people do with their personal belongings, money and time, there is a good chance they're a Fudd.
I guess I am one, Claybuster. Do we have a clubhouse somewhere?
Semper Fudd, indeed.
What you are really saying is that your definition is the only one.
Do not tell the OP to ignor anyone's opinion. Tell him to read them all and make up his own mind. To the OP, with WW's talk of personal issues, keep in mind who seemed to make this personal when the thread was started. By CB's definition I am a Fudd, but I got to admit that I shot a pumpkin once
