Can’t be sure, but I assume beer was involved.

There is a reason antique dealers advise customers to never talk on the phone while holding a piece of porcelain in the other hand. Evidently that advice should include firearms, too.

Real men don’t do selfies, anyway.

I had a student that was obama’s son, droopy pants, hat on backwards, bling, and a no-kidding wanna-be rapper. . .he was taking selfies to enhance his street credibility and shot himself in the leg.

I was wondering why he missed all classes except for the first class and a couple of students knew him from high school (they are all freshmen). They told me all about this guy (trouble-maker, fighting all the time, thinking he was the next Big Rapper), and they told me about him shooting himself in the leg.

A Darwin Award candidate for sure.

Jeff Cooper’s 4 rules of Gun Safety

Rule 1: All guns are always loaded.

Rule 2: Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.

Rule 3: Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you are ready to fire.

Rule 4: Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

Huh. Pointing loaded guns at yourself and pulling the trigger is not a good idea? Who knew?

Jeff Cooper knew the score - his columns in Guns and Ammo were required reading.

My dad always said, “the most dangerous gun is the one you don't think is loaded.”

More people are killed with unloaded guns than loaded.
