When I was younger, I was shooting a rifle that I'd had no problems with. For some reason an adult thought I should shoot a bigger one. I lined it up just the same, looked down into the scope, fired. The kick sent this thing, the end of the scope the width of about a baseball, into my eye. Not attractive.

You'll shoot yer eye out with that thing, kid!

Responsible gun owners have a duty to train and supervise shooters unfamiliar with new guns. You don't just hand somebody a .50 Action Express and see what happens.

My son got himself a .44 long-barrel revolver, so he and I decided we'd teach his mother how to shoot it. She held it with both hands, turned her head, and squeezed the trigger.

Flew back and hit her on the side of the head . . . damned near knocked her down. Now I can't get her to fire a damned .22 Hombre.

Got her to shoot a .20 gauge one time, and she won't even go to a skeet range with me now. She usedta like to watch me plink cans and shoot trap 'n' stuff. No mo, tho.

I shot a bunch of 12 gauge slugs (NOT low-recoil) last weekend--on BOTH shoulders. Made said shoulders a bit sore and they turned pretty colors for a few days.

By the way, did you add the skirt or lengthen it or something, Rodge? The hem of the skirt looks, weird.

From the my kinda gal dep't: this teacher in Wisconsin is in hot water because of a picture on her Facebook page. She's not being racist, she's not naked, and she's not holding a bong. She pointed a gun at a camera. And posted it on Facebook. The horror!

BTW: it's not a rifle. The fact that nobody in the newsroom noticed that fact says a lot.

Looks like an air rifle to my my eyes ('course, I've been wrong before...).

I nestle my cheek next to that butt.

Oh hey! There's a gun in that picture!

At least its only a pellet rifle.
When I was a kid, I purchased a .243 Winchester for varmit hunting, then added a Tasco 3X9 scope. That combo has dished out about a dozen black eyes over the years.
My wife, not a gun fanatic by any means, was scared of guns until we married. I recently gave her a 410. With advanced osteoperosis, its about the biggest thing I dare let her shoot.

word verification reddist. Well, if it wrere a real gun, she'd have the reddist eye for about eight seconds, then a purple one.

That is the least eye relief I've ever seen. Time for a new scope, methinks.
I may be more lighthearted most of the time, but it's coming on time for some seriousness in our shooting endeavors. Ms. "stuck on stupid" did not amuse me for some reason.
Remember your oath of enlistment? REMEMBER YOUR OATH OF ENLISTMENT! And what it was you swore to protect. Against ALL enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC!
Rodge, love your new headliner.
