I`d just thought I`d share some of the more not so tactful encounters that I`ve had with weapons .
Of course I know they are stupid , but you learn from your mistakes and I`m not ashamed to admit them .

1. I was in a gun-shop once , I used to go there alot , so there I am just looking around when the man behind the counter says to me... " Hey I`d give you any weapon(s) of your choice and all the ammo you can carry if you go across the street and kill all that people in the bar..I don`t like them much they are forreigners "

I just looked at him with big eyes and said "...but I`m only 12 years old I couldn`t pull it off "

2. Ironically enough in the same shop some time later I was again dropping by and I saw this absolute kick ??? crossbow on the floor...the man behind the counter says " You like that one don`t you "
I said " yeah it looks cool "..then he said I could pick it up and have a look at it .

I picked it up and started to aim with it..it was scoped and there was a window going in an 90 degree angle in the shop...I stood and aimed out towards the street...all of a sudden I saw a man in the scope and..well hell he saw me to and I`ve NEVER seen a man run away that fast around a corner....I was like " hm "..then the man behind the counter says " HEY you`r NOT aiming at people are you "....and I said " No no I`d never do that " :eek:

3. I was going to a shooting competition and I had 2 airpistols in a suitcase....as I walked through my town I all of a sudden though about the " start-card " that shows my ID, age and class to shot in..I couldn`t compete if I didn`t have it and I started to look for it in my jacket .
I didn`t find it so I thought..." Aha it is in the suitcase " and beeing a dumbass I just kneeled down opened the suitcase and flashed to pistols in the town square :confused: :eek: , looking really fast for the card , and when I found it I just smiled..a smile that went away quite fast when I saw some rather surprised
people looking at me....I remember I went away REALLY fast .

4. We and a bunch of my friends where going to a cabin-trip
and we had to take a boat in order to get there ( one of those medium sized Westamaran boats so only people aboard )
We where bringing an air-rifle with us but we weren`t sure if we could just take it as it was inside the boat or conceal it in a
bag , case or whatever...well we didn`t have a bag / case so we just had to take it as it was .
I was the first one to board the boat and as I was on the middle of the ladder / boarding thingy I saw that my friends had an argument between them because no one wanted to actually carry the rifle :D , so I just shouted " Give me a break someone just take the F**king rifle ok.... " needless to say some poeple started to scan the area quite a bit...and I once again thought...
" hmm..damn you man why can`t you just shut up " :rolleyes:

Well I`ve learnt since then anyway :D

That must be the dumbest thing I've heard of anyone saying (today). Kudos to that gun salesman for seeding the next generation with ideas of appropriate gun use! :banghead: :fire:

Perhaps that comment got to me especially because I was once a rifle/shotgun instructor at scout camp. I took VERY SERIOUSLY the impressions and education that the kids took from my class and the viewpoints that they went home with. It's a shame that while our media does such an effective job of painting arms as tools only for murder, some bonehead who should be promoting responsible use is teasing kids with ideas like this.

Sorry for the rant.
Stepping off my soapbox...
 
One of the funnier incidents in a gun shop was the gang banger who came in and placed a home made zip gun on the counter and asked the shop owner if he had any ammo for it. The shop owner picked up the zip gun about the same time the two off duty LEO's who were in the shop grabbed him and put him in cuffs.

Another dumb crook bites the dust!:neener: :evil:
 
Pretty much means a homemade gun. Some people use ballpoint pen parts and tubing to make them, among other things. Likely to be .22LR.
 
One other good one for those who think there is no justice.
A fellow officer responds to a call at a gas station. It seems that a good ol boy was putting gas in his pick up when a kid rolls in on a moped and sticks a 4" revolver in the good ol boys face and askes for his money. The G.O.B. reaches for his wallet and at the same time hits the kid in the side of the head with the gas nozzle, knocking the kid to the ground out cold. The G.O.B. then places the nozzle back into the gas tank and finishes putting in his gas. He replaces the nozzle back on the pump, kicks the kid over onto his stomach, pulls out his knife and cuts thru the kids belt and pants. He then kicks the kids legs apart, picks up the revolver and puts about 3" of the 4" barrel into the kid where the sun don't shine, then gets into his pick up and drives off. The kid was still lying there out cold when the officer arrived. The kid was transported to the hospital with the gun still in place as you never remove an impaled object. Oh, nobody got the G.O.B.'s license number, they were laughing too hard.
True story Best to all, John K
 
I bet that kid was glad he didnt have an 8" barrel on his revolver, but also wished he'd chosen a snubby for the day's "work."

As for guns in public service (yeah, I know that's streaching it a bit) We had a trainee remove his K pot with a single round of 5.56 via a vertical ND. No poop, the round missed his nose, skimmed past his forehead, and lifted the Kevlar off his head about 5 feet. Turned out he had a faulty trigger mechanism as well as a faulty noggin. After all, who grounds the butt of a chamber loaded A2 with the safety off? For that matter, who the heck grounds the butt of any weapon on the line if it's not a muzzle loader? Anyway, the rest of us got a really good laugh at his expense when the Drills recovered their sanity enough to start smoking him. By the way, Kevlar helmets are NOT bullet proof at point blank range.
 
Well, it was at the end of a long hot summer day. I started off working outside and towards quitting time we decided to go to the range and ventilate a couple of cases of beer and soda cans. I have a 1911 with a very tactical holster with velcro straps on my thigh. We shoot hand guns and .22 rifles and run out of ammo. Wally World is less than 2 miles away I make a run for it. Yes I walk into Wally World with a fully loaded 1911 strapped in full view to my leg. Got about half way in before I realized that I was center stage in everyone's view. I acted über-cool, got the ammo, (actually paid for it:evil: ) and drove off. Only about 200 people witnessed it...

You did this in Massachussetts? :what:

I'm suprised I didn't see this on Fox News:

"Man with a gun holds local Wall Mart hostage!"
 
I know...it was stooopid. The only thing that makes any sense is that I may have looked like an undercover LEO. Boots, hunting gear, etc. I think that if I had looked like a deer in the headlights and walked out then I really would have been in trouble. So I just acted like I knew what I was doing:uhoh: . Remember, this is Massachusetts and virtually no one knows anything about gun laws.
 
I was in gun shop yesterday and the clerk was friendly and knowledgable. Weird!

I was in the same store last week looking at PD turn-ins when
another customer asked to see one. The clerk picked one up- checked the cylinder - and proceeded to dry fire the thing right at the customers chest -six times! The customer then picked it up and aimed it straight back at the clerk's chest and did the same thing. I swear to God -neither one of them was even slightly aware of what they just did. Old four fingers was though.
 
shermacman, I've done the same thing, I went to the grocery store to pick up some ice with my browning strapped to my leg, I was wearing my black BDU pants (mostly because my jeans were in the wash) and my boots, nobody batted an eye, they must have thought I was an LEO or something, nobody even looked scared
