Ok, here are the three that came to my mind first.
"Former Navy SEAL" who said the guns they use on the other side of the equator have to have a different direction of twist than we do on this side. He also claimed to have made the longest shot anyone in his unit had ever seen (nearly a mile), and in VERY high winds. My rule for dealing with anyone in the Armed forces, if they start out by telling you they were special forces, they probably weren't.
A guy I know real well used to sight his scopes for his blackpowder and 30-06 in on his .22 cause it's cheaper and easier. We tried to tell him that wouldn't work, but he wouldn't listen cause "I was in the Army, I know how to shoot and sight in guns". I know for a fact he WAS in the Army, and that he was a cook for part of the time, and a mechanic for the other.
Girl at the gun counter at a store tells the person right beside me "No you don't want a .380, you should get a 38spl, all of my family is in law enforcement or works for the sheriff's department, trust me a 38spl will stop anybody, one shot." I almost slapped her......
