“Is gun. Is not safe.”

Turns out that the coach of a certain football team I follow is right: "You can talk to 'em and talk to 'em and talk to 'em 'til you're blue in the face, but if they're determined to mess up, they're gonna find a way to do it."
Equal parts of our risk management are to follow the rules ourselves, and to damn well never ever take any uh, person with you to any sort of shooting venue, ever, who is a "known safety risk". Being a nice guy can have deadly, or (fortuitously in my case) potentially deadly consequences.
Let them just say that their sinful BIL wouldn't take them shooting instead, and sleep well knowing that everyone's better off that way.
If someone you know is determined to go get himself shot, or maybe get someone else shot by running off downrange at the worst possible instant in time when you have your back turned, you don't want it happening in a situation where you're the responsible party.

Gee, there was an article by a Seattle pundit named Woodson(?) today which had almost the same story—except the Russian was replaced by a Texas Ranger.
Can’t these leftists get their apochryful lies straight?
