So. I laughed

[Confess]

This video made me laugh. Yes I am a sick person. but I laugh everytime I see it.

That made me cringe, and I have been around guns, bullets, and an assortment of small arms since I was born. Literally.

(What can I say? Dad was a cop.)

Here's another one:

This is why you push with the dominant hand and pull with the support hand creating a solid grip. I don't think either of these women were using their support hand at all.

Whoever let these women shoot these pieces is an idiot.

Kind of reminds me of the first time I fired a rifle. It was a 30-06 and it was before I had hit puberty.

I broke my nose.

That happened to me when I fired a shotgun for the first time but fortunately only hurt my collarbone - ouch! I didn't have it solidly against me, didn't realize what would happen when I pulled the trigger. When you aren't used to it you can definitely be taken surprise by the force of it.

Physics is SO cool!

SO...I'm sure these big bad gun enthusiasts are feelin' REALLY great after they let girls hurt themselves firing high caliber pistols without the proper knowing.

Did you see their form? BENT ELBOWS??? Fuck The What?

My rifle experience was a collection of bad ideas.

12 years old, was I.

Rifle, bigger and meaner than I.

Adult supervision? 2 drunk uncles.

Scope on rifle.

Butt placement? Under my arm, in the armpit. (I had never seen a gun fired in my life at this point)

So I look under the scope, using iron sights because my drunk giggling uncles said the scope was off.

Placed butt of the rifle under my arm. I didn't know better and wasn't corrected.

Squeezed the trigger - rifle jumped back - scope caught the side of my nose and broke it. Walked around for 2 weeks with a black ring around my eye on top of the broken nose.

I was just about to point that out..

The first on looks similar to the gun I fired when I was 9.. Except my Uncle taught Me how to hold my arms...

See...I knew I heard that SOMEWHERE!~

My all-time favorite gun mishap video is still the DEA guy shooting himself in front of the school kids. I love the part where he tries to continue the presentation and the kids start yelling "No! No! Put it away!"

That shit almost killed me...

Proper Weaver stance has bent elbows, but you also use opposing forces with the push/pull method I described above to stabilize the handgun. With isosceles both elbows are locked and with Chapman the dominant elbow is locked though the support elbow is bent. Regardless of the stance, fingers over fingers should be used and not the military's old cupping method.

Grip, stance, and sight alignment should be trained and tested before live ammo is ever used. Anything else is just irresponsible.

Please tell me this is not one of your family's customs. That's just plain scary.

No, definitely not.

That demonstration totally violates 2/4 of Jeff Cooper's rules of firearm safety:

• Never point a firearm at anything you are not willing to destroy.
  
• Always be aware of your target and what's behind it.

Thus, by firing at the glass it means the shooter is willing to destroy it, "bullet proof" or not, and consequentially anything behind it, namely his wife. Just plain scary, and stupid.
