Who knows, but how can they be so insane as to create scenarios that require armed reactions.

When I was young, my best friend and one or two other best friends and I, had a kind of rule, of breaking into each other’s apartments, at least for the first couple of visits to a new address when someone moved, and at any time of the day or night.

That meant climbing to 2nd and third story balconies, figuring out ways to get past sliding patio doors, seeking poorly caulked window panes to flip latches, figuring out ways past door locks and all kinds of stuff and sometimes at 3am.

But that was 45 and years ago, in a different time, in Houston Texas, and when I got married, I got us together and told everyone that it had to end, that now we were getting wives and keeping guns at the ready to protect them with, and that a bump in the night might mean that somebody would be shot, because we now had responsibilities beyond just ourselves.

I can’t imagine people planning these public stunts today, that we see in this video.

Guns are not toys. The instant you forget that, you assume all the liability for the consequences, to you or anyone else. Using a weapon, real or simulated, to frighten or alarm anyone puts your life in jeopardy and rightly so.

If I were teaching a gun safety class, my post #46 would be the first film I would show to every new student.
