dumbasses and their guns

Recommended Posts

This "bright spark" goes to a wild west shootout re-enactment and forgot to take the real bullets out of his gun. Luckily his aim was shit, or he could have killed 5-6 people...

2 Shot During 'Old West' Gunfight Reenactment In Tombstone, Arizona:

No argument from me that this guy wasn't a dumbass.

Also, in a completely un-newsworthy series of events, I went to a range yesterday with a friend. We each shot a couple hundred rounds uneventfully (and my handgun doesn't even have a manual safety :o) Afterwords we went to Five Guys which was, by far, the unhealthier of the two activities.

I took my son, my wife and my nephew to a make shift range I can set up in an open pasture.

Shot the 6.5 Grendel, the Marlin 336 chambered in 35 Remington and the SW 5906 9mm.

The only thing hurt was steel and paper

Had a great time

These wide brush posts are pathetic

You know this, correct?



Yes, I think it is stupid to start randomly shooting at people when you are not certain your gun is loaded with blanks or not.

we went to Five Guys



Ah we agree on both points. We now have Five Guys in London. First stopped in to see what all the fuss/hype was about; it's noisy, crowded, I'm in a long queue. I'm reading the menu board and see burger/fries/coke is going to be about £15 ($23) - damn that's expensive for a quick burger.

However, admittedly not the healthiest lunch; damn they do make really good burgers & fries.

That I agree with!
A very basic safety standard was ignored/bypassed for expediency.

The very same reason I had my one and only reserve deployment.


But you try and paint gun owners under one viewpoint

Should the same be done to all skydivers because I fucked up?

Yes! All skydivers, every single one of them is a dumbass because a guy low turned in a demo, and took out some spectators. We should ban all parachutes!

Whatever happened to:

Rule I: All guns are always loaded.
Rule II: Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.

No way in hell I would ever participate in an event involving pointing real guns at people and pulling the trigger.:S

We did that in the Army all the time, but you needed a blank adapter in the end of your muzzle. If a live round were chamberd, the results would not be pretty, but it was unlikely the shapnel would travel too far.

Also, the range safeties were hella anal about live ammo. If you got caught with a single live round, your career was fucked.

I know a very similar set of rules we call "TABK".

Treat every gun as if it was loaded.
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction
Be sure of your target and what's beyond
Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

I agree that "T" and "A" were purposefully ignored.

With real guns.

Pretty damned stupid. I'd never participate or attend anything like that.

Nice. A friend of mine built a 6.5 Grendel AR to hunt boar. I got a chance to shoot it at a range earlier this year. It's a nice platform.

A burger/fries/coke here was $14.44 (~£9.50) so I guess it's something you can save for travels.

It was a great day until I started watching the Cubs game. :|

Nice to know you still only acknowledge you own point of view.
