Darwin at work?

9:30 am... four teens in the house..

bunch of kids who think they're literally too cool for school playing hookie and screwing with dads gun...

Oops.

I've never even held a gun, but even I know there's 2 basic rules of handling one:

1) The gun is always loaded.

2) Never point the gun at someone unless you intend to kill him or her.

Can't we fimly add a #3...

3) Never look down the barrel of a rifle. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Why didn't fartbongo take it yet? Worst president ever.

And not a single fark was given that day. I'm just glad that nobody that mattered got hurt.

Inspecting huh? "Hey, look down the barrel and see if there's a bullet in it, if there is we shouldn't play with it."

The kid shoulda been bobbin' and weavin'.

Change the word "inspecting" to "playing with."

You know, maybe it's because I grew up around guns, or maybe just the fact I wasn't RETARDED, but common sense and the sense of self preservation at the age of sixteen should kick in enough to tell you not to point a gun at your head while fondling the trigger, especially when you don't know how to clear the gun of ammo.

"Two teens between the ages of 16 and 19 were inspecting the rifle at a home in the 3000 block of Bahama Road in Palm Beach Gardens when it accidentally discharged..."

no, that is not what happened.

I've looked down the barrel of a gun. Of course the barrel wasn't attached to the rest of the gun at the time.

Well it was Florida so Im guessing they were playing russian roulette without a revolver.

Ow! That was my feelings!: "Two teens between the ages of 16 and 19 were inspecting the rifle at a home in the 3000 block of Bahama Road in Palm Beach Gardens when it accidentally discharged..."

no, that is not what happened.

You caught that, too, huh? The mental image of an inanimate object losing its shiat and letting the hammer fall on this kid without any outside influence was a little hard to conjure.

Otherwise Just Fine: How else are you going to check that the bore hasn't been fouled, or fix really difficult 'stove pipes'? Sometimes you need to look down the barrel.

A stovepipe would be cleared from the breech end.

To check the bore you would need to, at the very least, have the action open in order to get some light through it. If possible you'd remove the bolt and look from the breech end.

Ow! That was my feelings!: "Two teens between the ages of 16 and 19 were inspecting the rifle at a home in the 3000 block of Bahama Road in Palm Beach Gardens when it accidentally discharged..."

no, that is not what happened.

And that's not what they did.

Come on, that wasn't even trolling, that was mild tongue-in-cheek.

algrant33: Darwin at work?

I don't know, it sounds like so much fun it might qualify as Darwin at play.

actually you do look down the barrel when cleaning. you just have to be smart enough to know what you're doing.

Yet another gun keeping the citizenry safe and free.

Oops.

My daughter's school is closed all this week.

There were only one shot? Sorry, it couldn't be an accident.

Arcturus72: It's Thanksgiving week... No school this week moran...

Also: Who else looks down the barrel of a gun? (new window)

What the... what was he expecting to see down there? And that's just one of many questions that video leaves me with.

ows: actually you do look down the barrel when cleaning. you just have to be smart enough to know what you're doing.

You mean like, taking the whole trigger assembly thingie out first, as well as the magazine if such exists, and any ammo?

Not mention leaving the booger hook off the farking trigger and not pointing the boom hole at things that would not be improved by a big farking hole?

0/10 weak, you should be ashamed.

A few questions:

Am I the only one withholding a guess on this kids survival prospects until the firearm has been revealed?

What 'perks' did he have equipped?

Did he do it doing a jumping 360º with a sniper rifle?

Did his friends call his sexual orientation into question and accuse him of glitching?

Bill_Wick's_Friend: Yet another gun keeping the citizenry safe and free.

True. It did protect the citizenry from an idiot that doesn't know how to safely handle a firearm.

neofonz: 3) Never put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to fire.

To strip my Glock to clean it, I have to pull the trigger first. I check it several times to verify it's clear, but it STILL makes me nervous "firing" it in the house. I still point it at the dirt just case.

Place where gun was purchased:




Ask for Janice

Ow! That was my feelings!: Bill_Wick's_Friend: Yet another gun keeping the citizenry safe and free.

I'm still waiting for "if his face had been armed this never would have happened."

Deputies have not said where the teens got the gun.


But we know where they got the bullet, amirite?

/aisle seat, please

You think that's bad, wait til you hear how many teenagers cars have killed!
