Do you have a problem admitting when you’re wrong about something? No? I didn’t think so.
There may be an issue you feel strongly about and know your friend is dead wrong. You’ll bring this up to your amigo as often as possible – after all, you are right and he is wrong.
When the camo boot is on the other foot, however, things are not so easy. It may dawn on you one fine day that your chum is right about something and you, my friend, are absolutely incorrect, erroneous and dare I say wide of the mark.
Admitting this to yourself is hard enough. Admitting to your buddy that you are wrong can be painful.
Here’s an example. I have written of my friend and noted gun writer Richard Mann before. He appears in many gun-related periodicals, has written several books on firearms and is considered an authority on rifles, bullets, ballistics and things that go bang. I gladly defer to his wisdom on such matters – with two exceptions.
