In one of those S&W .500 Magnum clips, the woman was given a revolver that was fully loaded, and the first shot so startled her that she fired a second shot that almost hit her in the leg.
And it can happen to guys, too.

Girls and guns - an awesome combination. A little humor to take the edge off.
Humor, huh. What’s funny about it?
Women make better natural snipers than men. Better watch yer @$$.
At a theoretical level, IIRC, due to things like finer motor skills and tendency to notice different colors and patterns. In reality, I’m not sure how well the idea holds up.
I don’t get the humor in watching people do something so dangerous they might kill someone. Guns are tools, not toys.
These women will likely never pick up a firearm again thanks to some jackass that doesn’t know what he’s doing either.
I don’t see anything funny in these videos. All I see is tragedy in the making.
The dumba$$ is now in jail where he belongs
What person who claims to like/love a girl wants to see her hurt
My husband took the time and trouble to teach me to shoot, starting with guns I could easily handle and working up to bigger guns. As a result, he doesn’t have to beg or sneak new gun purchases under my nose. Or fight me about when to introduce shooting to our girls.
He *does*, of course, have to split the budget with me and since I got the last toy he’s definitely up next...
This is the kind of stupid crap that the anti-gunners dream about. It gives responsible firearms owners a bad name.
When I let my daughter shoot my .45, I made sure it had only ONE round in it, and I had my hands around my daughter’s hands to ensure the muzzle stayed where it was supposed to.
Same here what with four men (former military) in our household. I grew up with guns, had my first .22 single shot when I was seven. Now I shoot my fav. rifle a Savage 22-250.

“In reality, I’m not sure how well the idea holds up.”
Probably depends on the shooting environment and how much hunting experience they have done as a kid. If it is muddy, hot, with critters crawling all over you probably not for most females. Hunting a lot helps you understand how nature such as rabbits and birds reacts to changes in the environment.
For sniping in the city it would be less important and women would not be impacted as much.
Russian had some very successful female snipers in WWII.
If someone knows guns and then gives one to an improperly trained person and they shoot you in the face then you deserve it.
I taught a girl to shoot a .45 pistol once - I wrapped my arms around her and held her hands around the pistol so tight there was no way it was going to go flying.
Her friend, who was there with her husband, started yelling at him that he should have done the same thing- when she shot it for the first time the thing went flying out of her hands.
I made my daughter practice with unloaded weapons over and over how to keep them pointed in a safe direction and finger off the trigger.
I cringe when I see a news-idiot on TV talking about gun control and the first thing they do when handed a pistol is put their finger on the trigger (that’s where it goes, right?)... I keep waiting for them to take out the cameraman.
I, too, fail to see the humor in people doing stupid, dangerous things. The old adage, 'It's all fun and games until (fill in the blank) happens' isn't all that true to me.
"Women make better natural snipers than men...."No they don't. Women can be extraordinary marksmen but sniping is only 10% shooting and 90% fieldcraft. Men have a natural affinity for crawling a mile on their belly through the mud and then lying in their own body waste for three days while waiting for the target to appear. Most women are repulsed by the very idea. A woman might do it if she's pressed to it but guys will do all day every day and twice on Sundays it just to prove they who's toughest.

Remember
The 'last time' you take/took a crap in your pantz is probably the last time you will have that 'warm & fuzzy' feeling.
