Was that pistol ad with the bullets backwards in the magazine an April Fools joke?

I believe that was no joke. Just a mistake by the perfect folks at HK.

For Immediate Release
Bogata, TX
IDPA is pleased to announce the addition of Doctor Anthony Fauci to the IDPA Board of Directors. Doctor Fauci is well known to most of our members, and with his track record of decisiveness, we see Dr. Fauci as the perfect fit for IDPA.
IDPA is announcing in April that they will be converting the rule system to an "Open Source" set of rules under GNU licensing and with the launch of IDPA-Rules.wiki. IDPA's BOD hopes the rulebook will take on a life of its own, and become a rulebook all of our members agree with.
"Over the years various IDPA clubs and members have requested special rules, equipment rule changes etc. Now with the Wikipedia style rule book, members can change the rules at will. In true wiki-fashion the rulebook will now be guided and changed by the members, for the members. I am confident Dr. Fauci is the right choice to head up this endeavor: said Joyce Wilson during a recent interview.
Please take a moment and reach out to Dr. Fauci (@faucifan) and welcome him to the IDPA family.

I know it's a joke, but man. The last thing the IDPA would need is that moron. He'd have you triple up on earplugs or something.

TPW put up a video and deliberately made near impossible to link or share--imagine that) talking about successful the jackalope repopulation efforts had been, and that the numbers had increased to where they were considering a Special Season for them in the Central Texas Region.

I've seen those jackalopes, back in the mid 80s. But they were in the truckstops, at or behind the counter. :D
 
Being retired for ten years I sometimes lose track of what day it is, Monday, Thursday, whatever, the twelfth or the eleventh of the month, whatever. Not clinical, just a result of rarely having anything compelling to do, what with the c-19 lockdown and all.

So last Thursday I called a small retailer to see if they had something in stock. Phone message answered with a string of Spanish (WTH?) and then, "Please press one for English."

I flashed with a bit of anger and hung up.

Wasn't till a couple of hours later I realized it was the Oneth Of April and had a good laugh and some forehead-smiting about it.

Yeah, called them back, got my biz completed.

"Press one for English," indeed.

I guess I'm slowing down on the uptake in my dotaqe.

I know how you feel. Since the lockdown, we two old retired folks are helped in remembering what day of the week it is by knowing that "Columbo" is on one of the TV channels we get here on Wednesday nights, and there's usually a 2-hour "Dateline" on another channel on Friday nights.:D
Just to keep this sort of gun related though - "Columbo" doesn't carry a gun at all, and it's kind of amusing for us to count all of the mistakes the moronic reporter(s) on "Dateline" make whenever they're speaking about guns.o_O
 
The best one was 2 years ago a guy had his dead mother in the trunk of his VW passat, and decided to stop by gene mecher VW to get the oil change before taking her remains back to Las Vegas NV for burial. The 911 operators thought it was a joke too when they got a call from the dealership saying they had guy bring a car in for an oil change with a dead body in the trunk. After bout the 8th 911 call they sent someone down to the dealer.

The joke is, it's not a joke.

When my ex and I were still together (back around 1989), she expressed an interest in learning to shoot. I picked up a Taurus 94 revolver to teach her with, and out to the scrubland we went. I told her that, since it was a new gun, I'd put the first nine rounds through it to check the sights, then turn it over to her. Using two-liter bottles as targets, I was able to hit them pretty much all of the time from about ten yards. I reloaded the gun for her, and she took over. Nothing. Nada. Couldn't even see bullets hitting anything, not even the ground. I reloaded again, took another turn myself, and did as I should have. More holes in the bottles. Reloaded for her, and again, those bottles just stood there, further unscathed.

Just as she was becoming a bit dejected, I clued her in on that it was the first of April, and I was having a little fun with her. Each time I loaded the revolver for her, I was loading it with blanks. She was a good sport, and went on to have quite some fun with that gun, my 10/22, and live ammo..

I actually caught an episode maybe two weeks ago in which he is begging another officer to take his gun and ID and go shoot his annual for him because he won't pass it himself.
 
I think I found a few new ones on Guns America Digest... I just can’t post the link. :(

Seekins Precision introduced a new “1776” inspired flintlock AR rifle...

SIG introducing a .25 Auto conversion kit for the MPX...

ODIN Works OTR-15 “smart rifle” knows political secrets...

:rofl:

Stay safe.
