Cell Phones & Guns Don’t Mix.

Color me stunned. And allow me to be the first to offer up a bad pun, namely that this brings a whole ‘nuther dimension to shootin’ one’s mouth off. About the only saving grace of what has got to be one of the most stupid, irresponsible, and yet simultaneously and oddly fascinating ideas I’ve ever seen, is that they used an incredibly outdated, lame-ass phone. I don’t know of anybody that would be caught dead with a phone that lame. Oh. Wait. There I go again. So with that…let the pun-elling begin!

Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day: Fired Up.

If the NRA ever decided to commission a TV show that’s like Jackass meets Shooting USA, it might look like the video above. Strike that. It might look EXACTLY like the video above. The jackass in question has been a busy boy, shooting off 300-some-odd rounds in an AK-47, quickly enough to catch the foregrip on fire. Stop and think for a moment just how hot the barrel would have to get to accomplish this feat. I don’t know at what temperature wood will catch fire (if the foregrip was made of paper, I could tell you. 451°.) After marveling at the physics of it all, let’s stop for the nonce and consider what kind of moron would shoot a gun in a way to make it catch on fire. I’m no metallurgist, but you gotta come from the shallow end of the gene pool if you think you can heat metal hot enough to burn wood and not assume that you’re risking metal fatigue or some kind of catastrophic event with the barrel in the near future. (Exploding barrel…meet moron. Moron…meet exploding barrel.) (more…)

How NOT to Teach Your Wife About Handguns

Not sure how much you need to say about a video like this, but I feel compelled to make the following observations…

• Don’t try this at home.
• At least, don’t try this at home if you want to stay married.
• Or if you’d rather that she not shoot you.
• What in the HELL did she do to him, to make him want this kind of revenge?
• Now might be a good time to review those life and accident policies.
• What would you have done if she’d pulled the trigger and you’d cased an accidental discharge of the firearm?
• You might want to look into professional training for her…that is, if she doesn’t divorce you, shoot you, or need therapy. LOTS of therapy.
• Hard to disagree with her opinion of you – even if she had done something so bad you felt it necessary to extract revenge.

I got a bad feelin’ about this whole thing, Sundance…

NEWSFLASH! Many people have a hard time with loud noises and grew up without any connection to firearms. These types are frequently extremely sensitive and cautious regarding handguns. Give them the right training and they’ll be fine. Pull some boneheaded stunt like this one and they’ll likely NEVER want to touch a gun—unless they are moved to shoot you for being such a moron. Just sayin’.
