If this thread is to continue, and I hope it does, please, let's keep it within the CGN General Rules & Guidelines for posting:
That would include the use of the term 'idiot' when referring to another poster.
Ah, okay, let's see if I can address the comments and questions of the individual you referred to above in more circumspect language.
Your story didn't line up... In fact you are all caught up in making yourself important instead of doing normal conversation.
Normal people:
1. You told your story
2. I said that it doesn't line up
3. You added info to the story
4. It ads up
Paranoid people can't do that because they are getting defensive right away, thinking that everybody (here: Browning, the dealer, gunsmith, me) are after them.
What a charming individual you are. I see you've set aside your Internet lawyer's wig, pushed out your Internet couch, and have now hung out your Official Internet Psychiatrist shingle.
Again.
Of course, my view is that if you were any more narrow minded than you already are, about the only hairstyle you could wear would be a mohawk.
In my world, "normal people" doesn't include those who are obsessed with every nuance of somebody else's dealings with a company. Of course, that might be normal behavior from wherever you came from before you got off the boat, but it isn't normal here.
In my world, "normal" people don't run around suggesting somebody else is lying in a matter they know nothing about. In my world, normal people think doing that is really sleazy.
In my world, "normal' people don't run around psychoanalyzing people who they have never met.
And in my world, "normal" people don't set themselves up as self important internet experts on law, psychiatry, and issues they know nothing about while informing the people they're adressing their analysis to that they're making themselves self important.
Maybe that works wherever you come from, but it doesn't work here. You'll probably figure it out, eventually.
Or maybe not.
Man, you sure have an obsession with my personal life and my decisions. I note on another thread you offered Stevo here your professional opinion that he had "deeper problems" as well.
As our resident psychiatrist apparently capable of diagnosing paranoia and "deeper problems" online, do you think those who practice online psychoanalysis of people they have never met are normal and/or healthy?
Or do you need to know why I purchased this handgun to continue helping me with your psychiatric analysis?
Okay, I'll play.
I bought both handguns at the same time. Am I required to give you further explanation as to why I bought two at the same time?
Why did I buy another one? Because, as you may have noted while tracking down all my past posts going back all those years, I own multiple BHPs and am a little bit of a collector of the design.
Why did I buy another one? Because the Browning platform is the same handgun I have been issued and used in the CF since the 1980's. Not relevant to folks like you who like to buy military type tacti-cool weapons and surplus but won't put on the uniform, I know, but it is relevant to somebody who actually does wear the relish suit to work.
Why did I buy another one? Because I not only own numerous BHPs, I also own a Superposed, a B2000, a BLR, an 1895, and an 1885. That might be lost on someone like you whose tastes run mostly to Norinco's, SKS's, etc, but some people like classic designs that are finely made, instead of what the communists have to offer.
How do you know that he is telling the truth?
Hmmm... that would be the second time you've insinuated I'm a liar. Being able to make some comments long distance over the Internet does have certain advantages for some folks, obviously.
Now that we've talked about me and answered your questions, shall we talk about you and ask some similar questions? Yes, let's do that - this looking back through other people's posts is kind of a neat idea.
Latulippe Sport sucks, their site is only in French.
Whoa!!
What's this? You're the guy whining at Stevo about discriminating against minorities, and yet you bag on Latulippe Sport because their site is in French?
You're the guy trying to climb aboard me because of my criticism of my customer support experiences with Browning Canada that have extended over years, but at the same time you're posting that Latulippe Sport sucks because they don't accomodate you by also having their website in English?
Even though you haven't actually purchased from them?
Even though you haven't bothered to contact them to address your complaints?
Okaaaaayyyyy....

I am pretty sure that I am not very eager to hear all your opinions.
Now, being as you tell other members here that, why would you think I would be particularly interested in your opinions on my mental health, never mind my dealings with Browning Canada over years dealing with just one issue?
BTW, can I confess I'm not too obsessed with the handgun expertise of someone who posts they don't know if there's a diameter difference between the bullets used in 9mm parabellum and 380 Auto?
Perhaps I have a solution that will address your online angst.
First, you can purchase this BHP I have at the list price. That will aid you in your defense of Browning Canada, I promise I'll drop the subject, and you'll end up with a classic single action, finely finished and deeply blued handgun. It would be a nice addition to have besides the commy crap and tupperware stuff you appear to favour so far.
Second, I can put you in touch with a CF recruiter where you live. You don't have to even do it full time, just part time on your own schedule. Then instead of playing make believe with all the Tacti-Cool stuff and commy crap, you can get a real military rifle, real military ammunition, practice real military tactics and shooting - and apply for a tour somewhere doing it for real if you've got the jam to do so.
Interested in either or both options?
If not, to quote you in an earlier post: "
I am pretty sure that I am not very eager to hear all your opinions." I've had all the free online psychoanalysis from you that I need for one lifetime, thanks.
