Are you saying playing with “unloaded” guns is okay?

For me that was the funny thing. I am not ambidextrous, just sort of partly right and partly left handed. So my handgun accuracy is better with my dominant eye side (left) but only marginally so.

I was told by a progressive teacher that because of this I shouldn’t be able to read. Har har.

If that picture puts you in panic mode I’d advise you to never go to a gun show or you’ll be crapping your pants.

It’s quite common to see people check the length of pull by putting their finger on the trigger.

Quite frankly making the comments you and others did from looking at a picture where you know absolutely nothing about what was taking place at the time the picture was taken makes you look like a know it all idiot.

What you did was the same thing the anti gun freaks do.

Put their own fears from what they see in a picture they know nothing about.

He’s playing with a gun on an airplane. He screwed up.

No he didn’t.

RR could strap on a hog leg and practice his fast draw on a plane and it still wouldn’t bother me.

You’ve repeated the same thing 3 times.

When you repeat the same thing 3 times that makes you right.

I’m now convinced RR screwed up.

Panic! Panic! Panic!

Four times.

Now I’m really really scared.

One more time and I’ll right up there in the adult diaper territory with you.

Go for it.

5 times.

Now I’m so scared I can’t watch John Wayne movies anymore.

Make it 6 and I’ll also be scared of a picture of someone drawing back an empty bow.

All kidding aside, I’m really getting interested to see just how deep a fear you have.

I’ve known people that were scared of guns, but never did I dream someone would be scared by a picture of a gun.

There is no limit to your fear is there?
