The soy is powerful with this one.
Oh, and then there was this bit:
"Once, having lost count of how many bullets were in the magazine, I put the pistol down with a live round in the chamber. Noble quickly spotted my error and cleared the chamber; the unfired bullet dropped to the floor where it fell into a grated collection channel.
That's exactly how many firearms accidents happen, Noble said: when even experienced shooters don't make sure the chamber is empty when cleaning or re-holstering their pistols."
I don't know about anyone else, but I usually do a press check to make sure that there IS a round in the chamber before I put a pistol back in the holster.
In any event, the gun shop looks very nice. I'll put it on the route planner next time we're passing through Vermont.
So NOT the ultra deadly .22LR?
Give him a Mosin M44 carbine with a military load, 7.62X54, and see what happens.
IF it ain’t chambered, it’s a hammer.
I remember firing 12 gauge shotguns and an 1870s Springfield 45-70 as a boy of 12. Didn't scare me and it was fun!
Not even a real rifle caliber.
Hand him a .308 and see what he says.
A Captain friend of mine tried his 7.62 rifle on an indoor range , it went through the backstop across the field and into a house , he didn’t know it was a .22 indoor range ,D’oh
“It is difficult to describe the impact — physical and personal — of that first shot. It felt like a meteor had struck the earth in front of me. A deep shock wave coursed through my body, the recoil rippling through my arms and right shoulder with astounding power. Being that close to an explosion of such magnitude — controlled and focused as it was — rattled me.”
What a fruit. They should have had him fire something really high-powered.
“I’m not sure what scared me more — the power of that weapon or the fact that I could have taken one home that day.”
What should really scare him is that millions of Americans of the opposite political persuasion own them and know to use them.
Is this an old report? A couple years ago I read some reporter’s girly-man reaction to shooting the very mild .223.
Hell, a standard .30-06 would give him a stroke.
Hey fruitcake, Biden likes shotguns. Try a 12 gauge.
Next week he’ll do a story on his adventures learning to drive a standard transmission.
What a frigging pansie.

Yes, I remember the time I shot a deadly high-powered cop-killing .223 - there was a tremendous explosion, the air filled with fire and smoke billowed from the muzzle of that mighty weapon of war. My eyes watered, my brow dripped with sweat, and I soiled myself - not deliberately this time. Then the RSO sez, “Don’t worry, Mr. Drill, it was that little girl in the next lane and her first Bobcat .22. You’re gonna be all right.” Well, I want to tell you I never wanted to do again what I didn’t actually do that time, but it was as bad as I imagined it because I did imagine it. No one needs a gun that powerful to hunt polar bear with.

While, as some of you have noticed, this story is one that the Leftist media recycles from time to time, this Buzzfeed video is the definitive treatment:

I lack the words (that are allowed on FR). Various slurs for effeminate men and homosexuals; vulgar terms for female genitalia, cats, and willows; references to a Biblical city that God burned because of their perversions, and so forth.
He’s too frightened to be anywhere near a gun or a range.
He should think about becoming a woman.
