Now that is funny (whether you go to church or not).............

I hear if you have enough clams he will sell you a Colt Coral....(hummm that is pretty weak, but the best I could come up with on the spot)

That has to be the corniest reef joke I've heard... I love it! lol.

And Tran, I'll blame it on my pain meds, but when I read the RPG post I was looking for the facebook "like" button. Funny Stuff.

I worry about anyone who chooses to pull a gun out to resolve a conflict. I certainly understand if done legally and responsibly, its a persons choice to carry a firearm but pulling it out to get a customer out of his/her store is irresponsible in my opinion and its my choice to avoid those individuals as much as possible.

The legality of owning a gun changes when you pull it to resolve a conflict. It's a tricky situation, and castle law changes by state. Most states define where you work as a place you reside(your home and car are usually covered as well). Several officers have told me though that when pulling a gun you'd better be ready to empty the magazine, because threatening somebody with a gun by pointing it at them changes the threat from them to you and they could also shoot you on the same premise of self defense. As for me, I own and carry in MS. In TN there are just too many laws and restrictions on where I can and cannot have it to carry it around Memphis on a daily situation.

I thought Id heard that already...

This sounds kinda rude and completely unnecessary. I was responding to Rudolph and further clarifying my statement. No need to be offensive.

Yikes, this is getting way too serious of a thread. Let's all chill before we end up with a shootout at the RC Coral.

Now mimi that one is a classic right, the RC Coral (AKA OK Corral)....:hammer:

I will admit the other one was about as corny as they come, but that was all I could muster at the time.....

 

[swigen]

You're absolutely right Rudolph. I wouldn't expect a thread in our club forum to end up ruined with childish and useless comments, but thanks to VitalApparatus thats exactly whats happened.

A creepy old man in his 60's? Did he show your wife only soft corals?

Sounds like Rudolph to me!!!!!!!

OMG are you Serious??

OMG are you Serious??

People! OMG!! What the heck?????????

I have never in my life seen a post like this!

I go away for a couple weeks and it feels like the freed slaves are ready to kill Moses!!!!! For the love of all things Holy, CHILL OUT!!!!!!!

I have personally known Richard for several Years and the guy (while clearly in the business to make a buck on his and Andy's investment) is TOTALLY committed to this very tiny and narrow market we call "Memphis".

He's completely aware of the fact that this isn't some mega-market where Business Owners can just dump all over customers; you SERVICE them.

I personally recall Richard calling his wife at 8PM and blowing her off on a planned dinner out one evening, the night my tank went live (08/08/08), not because he was making margin on the deal; but because He was committed to me having a decent experience in setting up my tank, which was a couple thousand dollar investment and because it was the right thing to do.

I am shocked and aghast that Im hearing anything negative against this business; Not that "œStuff" doesn't happen! But like ALL things in Business, this is clearly a case of MIS-communication! I refuse to believe otherwise. I've been in the contractual, capital-intensive aerospace business for over 20 years, and issues ALWAYS stem from miscommunication.

That's not to say that even the best of us, Christian or otherwise, are above having a "œbad day".

Clearly, a GUN is tantamount to someone making a defensive statement, once threatened. If not, there's more going on here than meets the eye.

Personally, I think everybody needs to check their attitude at the door and move on.

Forgive and forget. Life's too short to focus on negative energy.

WOW!

People!

Moses Marty has returned from the mountain top with 10 Reef Commandments:

I You should have no gods before me, so clean the tank after church (tran901 remember, those are the buildings with crosses)
II. You should not make yourself a carved image, so do not build your tank with illegally harvested corals
III. You should not take the Lord's name in vain, even when that GHA comes back.
IV. Remember the Sabbath day, many LFS are closed.
V. Honor your fellow member's tanks, they have spent all the kid's college funds
VI. You should never murder a fish, even if he just ate your $50 per polyp prized coral
VII. You shall not commit adultery, especially now that our club members have installed web cams in their house…besides you don’t want to be a Weiner.
VIII. You should never steal corals, many club members will give them to your for free
IX. You should not bear false witness against our sponsors
X. You should not covet your fellow club member's tank, but you can sure try to replicate it.

LOL!

Now THAT's funny!
:lmao:

 

[bracket50]

Wow. I go on vacation for a week and come back to this......

Richard and his "salty" crew have never been anything but the absolute best to me and my family. I like the fact that they know me (and my family) by name, and know my tank. Granted, everyone can have an off day, but even at his crankiest, I find the accusation very difficult to believe.

And just to clarify one point....Richard does not "carry" a gun. He keeps it secured and away from any possible unauthorized access.


Now back to our regularly scheduled nonsense....................

 

[OneReef]

First time I log on in a couple of month and I see all this..ha
I will stick up for Memfish as they have done nothing but help me for many years. I have not had anything but good experiences in years. Richard has always been helpful.
You paintywaists need to quit letting the media convolute your view of guns. Everyone is so scared of guns. Like anyone that carries a gun is a kook. As if they carry a gun, they might just blow your head off if you look at them wrong. Geeez..... I carry one, and I carry it in to church too. I guess I am one of those crazed right wing Jesus lovin bible totin gun loonies.......

 

[Mako Shark II]

Well.... Shah!

 

[bshumake]

So the "creeper" is well warned, assuming he follows RC. Susan told me if a guy like that says something to her she's gonna start screaming. And if he's still following the thread pay close attention, not only are the employees looking for you, EVERYONE IN THE CLUB is aware of you now. Best not show up anywhere you may be recognized pal.

 

[Larson]

I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids.

Jinkies Scoob!
