    They don’t usually outright say it, but some make it clear in other ways.

    Like showing up at the range in full combat gear. Dude, simma downa!

      I don’t think this is an actual case of that. I have a few friends that get kitted out with plate carriers and night vision for the range and it’s just LARPing. No different than ren faire people showing up to the faire in steel plate when obviously there isn’t some sword fight that’s about to break out at the fairgrounds.

      It’s dorky but generally not malicious.

          Totally fair. Most of these people haven’t experienced combat in any way. I’m just saying the motivation is mostly fun instead of some demented desire to kill.
