You certainly made an outstanding video that no one can doubt the authenticity of.
My sympathy goes out to you and your son for having received the extra souvenirs.
Hopefully something pleasurable will happen to make it up to you guys.
Thanks for putting in the time and effort just to share it with all of us. :)

Yer a braver soul than me. Not for having tried it... for risking a charge of the equivelant of: "Reckless Endagerment of a Minor" or some sort. Then... for posting physical evidence of same over the internet where you have NO expectation of privacy.
Although I see the humor in this... and have an appreciation for the spectacle... does it promote "our side" or "theirs" when it comes to having "big brother" stepping in to regulate our Second Amendment Rights... and providing fuel for the whiners with that as their agenda?

I think the Darwin Joke by Moe1942 says it all here Ratdog68 . :eek:

Looked at the vid. Okey I thought on a live fire everyone is supposed to behind the muzzle.
Huh I learned something different today.
BEHIND THE LINE.

I am utterly amazed at the complete and total lack of intelligence displayed by the alleged adult putting not only himself but his minor children in danger in such a reckless manner. This is 'entertainment' on the level of a three year old.

As a former police training and range officer, I agree with Mykeal.
The acts were reckless, endangered others and proved nothing.
Any camera shot on a shooting show from the muzzle end of things is done with a remote-operated camera. You don't put people downrange of a gun, ever, unless you are wanting to kill or injure them.
Anybody with any experience knows that a shot to metal can ricochet or that a lead ball will splatter some lead off.
Finally, you say the video was sponsored by a wine company. Sponsored, or fueled by?
Your act would get a person permanently banned from the club that I belong to, and that would be the least of the worries. Over here, it would lead to a criminal charge of reckless endangerment or more.
Sorry, I don't see the funny in this anywhere, and I am usually a pretty fun-loving person (in the job I have, I need all the laughs I can get to relieve the feelings I get dealing with the dregs of society) but it reminds me all too much of the people I deal with on a daily basis. :(

That has got to be the most irresponsible act of firearms display that I have personally viewed in my life. Two peoples lives were put in danger along with the anti-gun crowd viewing it and giving the opportunity to say "I knew it all along, what a bunch of redneck dufuses"! I have witnessed two ricochet incidences in my life that were not LOL. In fact that PC phrase is like finger nails down the blackboard at times. The first I witnessed a friend shoot at a plow with a .22 rifle at fifty feet and that little piece of lead came back and hit him square between the eyes and separated into two pieces each of which ended just behind his eye sockets. He spent two weeks in the hospital and lost the nerves in his right eye to control movement. The second was me shooting a biting dog that I owned with an SKS and few years ago. The 7.62X39 went thru the dog, richocheted off the gravel road at 45 degrees and went thru the outside wall of my house, tumbled off a wood bedroom door, traveled down the hallway leaving three deep marks and coming to a rest sideways embedded in the sheetrock at the end of its travel. Something I wasn't proud of, but something that made me a much safer shooter be it hunting, SASS, or CCW. But that video tells me that they are out there among us and are even being allowed to breed and multiply.
