I like the multi-state option.

[2111USMC]

Damn! That guy was lucky.

[mylife]

And they add on states as they come into legal agreement with Texas at no extra cost to you.

[mylife]

Dang scary eh?

I haven't seen a Free Republic thread posted on this yet (I may do one later), but a guy shot himself in the hand at a gun show here in Knoxville this afternoon. And to beat it all, the fellow is a vendor/dealer.

It's a story we have heard before. Took out his personal gun (Kimber .45) to show to a customer, removed the mag but (you guessed it) failed to clear the chamber.

First rule he broke was the obvious "Always treat every weapon as being loaded". Second rule broken was that no loaded weapons are allowed at the gun show. No serious injuries, but that could have been a nightmare. Gives the rest of us a bad name. I don't think he will be welcome at anymore RK gun shows!

I know a guy who bought a collection from a deceased fellows family.
They inspected all of the rifles to insure that they were unloaded and put them out on display.

A month later a customer picked up one of the rifles opened the bolt, and a live round flew out!

I see people pick up guns all the time in situations like that and just pull the trigger.

Yepper. Those are the same people that would drop a lighted match in the gas tank to find out if it’s empty.

[mylife]

LOL! That happens too!

Does anyone here shoot IDPA?

[waterhill]

I know someone who should... good stuff today bro.

[davetex]

I’ve done only one match. But man was it fun.

[mylife]

I’m waiting for this interview with Emily Miller.
It should be interesting.

[mylife]

I haven’t tried it.
I have some friends that do it, and it sounds difficult.

[mylife]

There us a good IDPA range in Terrel.

[mylife]

There is a good IDPA range in Terrel.

[davetex]

It’s not really difficult, just have to concentrate. I’m pretty sure after a few matches, you would lose the jitters.

It’s really fun, you should do it. My confidence was through the roof that day.

[mylife]

I think that its a very good idea.
Most folks dont train for real life scenarios.

[davetex]

I’d like to do more if and when I get the time. I will one day soon.
