Does Dora reply, "You bastards!"?

Well at least he was practicing something resembling gun safety by keeping the barrel pointed away from the kids.

/only point the barrel at things you'd be okay with shooting
//yay gun safety

"Holy criminy, you just shot the map,"

Did this story just come through a timewarp from 1820?

Welcome to America, where apparently wherever you do something affects what happens to you.

If this would have happened in NYC or FL, this guy would have been fired before the end of the day. Here, it seems everyone has a good laugh and just shrugs it off.

cue the anti-gun nuts outrage in .4.3.2...

A student who was in the class said the firing of the gun caught everyone off gaurd.

"Holy criminy, you just shot the map," the student said.



The student then went on to offer, "Shine your shoes for a five-piece, guv'nor?"

Wait, so the guy accidently fires a gun in a classroom and everyone just has a good laugh and tries to forget it except for the ribbing he will receive for the rest of his life?

I'm ok with that.

My god, there's something in EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE to make fun of. I can't even decide where I'd start.

Montana is truly the most awesome state.

Wow, that's how it SHOULD happen when there's a gun accident. Rather than a long spiel about how unsafe guns are and etc. This is what happens when gun safety is practiced correctly!

So if a student just POINTS A FINGER in the shape of a gun he gets expelled for life.

But Shoot an actual weapon in class and everybody has a good laugh.


sounds about right

/enable voting? Sure...

One time, I "shot" a map of France.

Cue is correct here. You're not lining up the outrage, you are changing the camera to it.

No this is what happens when you bring a loaded gun into school and pull the trigger. Gun safety my ass. I own guns. If you cannot tell if your gun is loaded or not you have no business having a gun. If you do not check several times before bringing a gun into school and pulling the trigger you have no business having the gun. If this was my kids school your damn right I would be pissed as hell.

Hah, I knew that kid's hair looked familiar.

He didnt just shoot the map, he shot the 'O' on north.
Hooray!

people who assume a gun is unloaded are waaaay too stupid to be allowed access to any guns. Never assume it's unloaded, always check first to verify. The guy is a dumdshiat and should be publicly flogged.

This is why muzzleloaders should be banned from schools. Imagine if this man had gone on a rampage! The map might have just been the beginning. After he'd shot that, he could have gotten out his powder horn, poured some down the barrel, tapped the side of the barrel, put away the powder horn, then gotten out a ball, placed it into the pre-cut patch, placed it over the barrel, slid it down until it's firmly seated atop the powder, removed and replaced the ramrod, pulled the hammer to half-cock, ensured the frizzen was open, filled the flashpan with powder, closed the pan cover, pulled the hammer to full cock and then fired again, repeating this again and again until all the students were slain.

I think this hammers, nay, rams home the hallowed point that you shouldn't go off half cocked when it comes to gun safety. Always keep it in your sights.

whoops.....I meant dumbshiat...my apologies to the spelling nazis

Normally I am 100% in favor of guns and freedom of them, but in this case, how the hell do you accidentally have a loaded muzzle loader? Takes significant effort to load one. Did he forget that he spent all that effort loading it?

Let's call Chicago Mayor Richie "Surrender All Your Guns" Daley's office and get hizzoner's take on all this.

/Hell...the kids already have guns at school in Chicago.

Most of the anti arguments on FARK are undermined by the facts on this story. Being a muzzle-loader it would inherently be protected by the second Amendment as it was the technology of the time the document was written.

I for one am waiting for dittybopper to show. These threads are made for primitive firearm guys.

What a terrible blunderbuss

fifthhorseman: cue

KEW! KEW! KEW!

Well, I have to admit it takes a special kind of stupid to not know a muzzle-loader is loaded.

/Thank FSM it wasn't an assault muzzle-loader.

thelordofcheese tweek46420: cue queue the anti-gun nuts outrage in .4.3.2...

No. No, it's not.

queue= a line

cue= a signal to begin something or other e.g. 'on cue'

Haha, another day in a Montana school.

Let me get this straight:

A school superintendent fired a 50 caliber weapon through a wall and one of the fathers laughed after hearing the story? Really?

Sigh.

Heh, it says he never pointed it at the kids *after* the cap was inserted. So before that, there were lots of kids who almost got splattered.

Gun safety is never pointing the gun at anything you don't want destroyed, ever, blah blah.

Anyhow, I'm glad this was a rural school in a rural state so the guy won't be sent to a PMITA for having a gun on school property. Sometimes almost getting killed is the best way to learn safety.

Maybe he just wants them to wait their turn?

Quiet, you don't want to give the anti-gun nuts any more ammo. Otherwise we'll just be going round and round all day, tumbling about the issue until we're just rifling through the internet to cite our own side. It's all bull. Et's just a matter of individual responsibility. You shouldn't auto-fire people for a misfire, no one was hurt and no one involved seems upset.
