[Peepster]

Could you say he was just shootin' the sh*t?

[CodeToad]

#8 - ROTFLMAO!!!

"Ssshshhshshhhhhh, stop, stop, stop, ssssshhhh"

Oh, man, the poor guy. Imagine being in the stall next to him!

"What kind of idiot hangs their gun on a hook"

Gun store and gun range operators to name two. A loaded gun - well? ;-)

[caver]

Well, now that you say that, I have seen guns hanging on hooks at some stores. I haven't seen it at the gun ranges though. Not a loaded gun, I'm sure.

[Eaker]

I know. How many guys get to mess with a SEAL?

I am finishing reading day 9.

You got me.

Great stuff!!!

I have a typo or two to point out too.

Lots of 2's... in that sentence.

Your content ROCKS!!!!!!

It really does. You are really touching a nerve here.

At the Washington Arms Collectors gun shows here in WA state, they now require all weapons be unloaded and semi-autos be zip-tied open.

Same in Hampton, Virginia – but I don’t recall it ever having a similar incident.

Glock owners can appreciate this......

Glock owners can also appreciate the cop with the M1911. He forgot to apply the safety after an earlier confrontation. Of course, that grip safety just makes it safer, right?

Goes to the john, weapon cocked and unlocked. Finger nowhere near the trigger, he places it on the hook, unintentionally depressing the grip safety. Bumps weapon, weapon bounces up and down against the hook, emptying the entire mag into the ceiling in less than a second.

We won't speak of DA revolvers with the hammer left cocked (usually a holdever from bad weapons-handling learned from bad movies and TV shows).

A basic law of Nature says if you put anything inside the trigger guard, the weapon will prove itself to be loaded, and will discharge.

"A basic law of Nature says if you put anything inside the trigger guard, the weapon will prove itself to be loaded, and will discharge."

Amen.

Authorities in Faribault, Minn., report a man accidentally shot in himself in the bathroom at a gun show.

Doctors performed an emergency bathroom-ectomy at a local hospital.

[Sam Cree]

Yep, all guns are loaded.

[Travis McGee]

Thanks Tom. I'm out of state on a borrowed puter today, just checking in.
