recorded Lobban misfiring a gun? Does the writer mean he had a misfire, where he pulled the trigger and just heard "click"? I'm not sure why anyone would tease over that or why anyone would care. Do the journalists mean something else?

I wondered that, too. But I know that few journalists, congressmen, senators, etc. know anything about guns, so I sorta gave them a pass.

Maybe he was not holding his piece in the prescribe 90 degree gansta angle and thus was mistaken for an actual marksman that knew something about handguns, something that hurt his street cred...

And, how is a misfire a prank? Did Santiago do something to the gun/ammo?

Or did I miss something in the article?

Maybe the misfire showed off a sever flinch. That would get me razzed by my shooting pals.

Maybe PUNCHY was working as a bouncer because he lost his job at DEA.

DEA Agent shoots himself in the foot.

“I’m not sure why anyone would tease over that or why anyone would care.”

You have to take into account the probable maturity and/or intelligence level of the people involved.

Some people will hound you to death about the stupidest things. The dumber they are the worse it is.

My personal motto is: Never do something just to get a reaction out of someone unless you’re prepared for whatever reaction you might get.
