Stupidity strikes again with a gun.

"911 what's your emergency?

"I've (sobbing uncontrollably)" shot my husband accidentally"

"Calm down ma'am, tell me what happened"

"The gun just went off by itself"

"We'll send somebody right out"

"Heh heh, hello insurance policy"

 

[PatriotPride]

Damn. Kids these days.

 

[printcraft]

Yeah, guy almost had a camera shot down the barrel.




Here is a video I found on the play list after that video played
NOTE: on an unrelated note to the original video however....

Just involves someone you might recognize..

So this afternoon a guy I know emails me and asks if I'd be interested in buying his SW 629 44 Mag. With the email he thoughtfully attached a couple of pics so I could appraise the weapons condition. This is one of the pics he sent me; notice anything?

Hey..don't be haters because my friends are Brainiacs!

And sadly no, my post was not in jest. That's a real pic, from a real Indianapolis area gun owner.

The best part though was getting his 629 for $370 this afternoon. I then traded it to another guy I know for a late 80's model 10/22, a Rock Island Commander in great shape and $150 cash.

Personally, I love my friends

Well, if you love this one...you might want to tell him to not aim a loaded gun at his face.
Just sayin'.

Yeah, we had a nice conversation about that when I picked it up. First thing I did (as usual) was to check and see if it was loaded. I told him how glad I was to see it empty and how shocked I was when I'd seen the pic he sent me. His excuse was that he was in a hurry, blah, blah, blah.
This guy is a former LEO (10 years) and ex-military. I've shot with him and hunted with him on a number of occasions and never even had a whiff of unsafe practices. I think he just picked today to have a brain-cramp and to make a photographic record of it. I told him that I planned on passing his pic around. When my daughter saw the pic, first thing she noticed were the rounds in the chamber. I was so proud!
