As I learn more about guns and own more and more of them, I realize that many of the myths I've heard as a kid are just BS.
I remember when I was in the 7th grade and a uniformed nypd officer came to teach us about gun violence and how terrible guns are. The entire visit was put together by the people's republic to get us while we're young and teach us how dangerous guns are. Interestingly enough, we would also be visited by another cop to teach about drugs too.
Anyway, after telling us how dangerous they were, he told us a story. A cop was in his basement dry firing at a wall for what reason, I don't know, apparently you have to do this in the nypd? His wife calls and while talking to her he loads a round into the chamber and forgets it's there. Hangs up, and continues his dry firing, but oh no, there is a live round in the chamber and he shoots the wall. The bullet ricochets off the basement wall, goes up into the ceiling, and into the baby's crip, killing him/her.
After careful research, I dub this story BS, even myth busters shot 45 cals into iron only to see them shatter.
Anyone else care to hare a BS story?
