Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything. 14% of people know that.
Like your mom…
…in bed
And the end result…{link}
ha! cute
At least he left the safety on.
Also, not that it matters, but that looks like an Iraqi flag on the uniform. I wonder if the guy in uniform is teaching the person holding the gun how to aim. I sure wouldn’t let him put a magazine in the gun while I was looking down the barrel, even if I was sure it was empty.
That just means Iraqis either have more balls or less brains.
“tastes great.”
“less filling.”
“tastes great!”
“less filling!”
its actually a galil/micro galil which is an israeli gun
The safety’s on, but the shooter’s finger appears to be on the trigger. The guy on the right looks as if he’s checking the shooter’s sight picture: to make sure the front sight is properly aligned within the rear sight notch. Why burn ammo on the range when you can check it in the classroom?
Too bad it won’t work.
Also, the shooter is gonna get his beak bent when he fires like that, with his nose right behind the receiver; the recoil will slam the rifle back into his face. Ouch!
I wouldn’t look down the barrel unless I took it apart, inspected it, and cleaned it myself and then was the only one to handle it…and even then. Cleaning my gun once – so 100% gaurantee no bullet inside. I turned it around and got creeped out with the barrel aimed at me. So – HELL no.
The same thing happens to me. I was in a state history class one year at college, and my professor came in dressed up like Davey Crockett to show of some guns they used back in the day. He had several rifles and pistols (all muzzle loaders). One of the pistols had an interesting sight on it….when you cock back the hammer, there was a little nock that turned into the back part of the sight. In order to show us how cool it looked, he aimed the (unloaded) pistol at his forehead to show us what it looked like.
-
I KNEW the gun was unloaded. I KNEW the gun probably wouldn’t even fire, as it was a historic weapon from the time period.
-
I also KNEW that the dumb bastard was going to blow his brains out in front of a class of college kids.

It’s just how your brain works when you have been around guns for that long, and respect them.
There was a time years ago when I shared a house with a guy that had a stronger than usual liking of guns. One night (I was probably drinking) he showed me that his rottweiler would chase the laser sight from his Glock endlessly. Oh, boy, I had fun playing that game, till my friend showed up (he was afraid of the rottie) and I sicced the laser guided dog on my friend, who promptly freaked out. In the years that passed, he’s never been able to say whether he was more angry that I sicced the dog on him, or pointed the gun at him.
Hey, I *said* there was alcohol involved. I mean, what can you say about a gun owner that would give a drunk hippie a gun?!?
There’s probably an After School Special in here somewhere…
or a weekly comedy show
Yeah, my mom last year was getting a gun out of storage that she was passing down to me, and we had it on her dining room table looking at it, and I was going through the owners’ manual (yes, she still had the 40 odd year old owners manual!), sitting there. She was standing next to me. She was trying to remember how to get the clip out and I looked up from the manual and it was pointing right at my head from about a foot away. I almost peed in my pants. She thought I overreacted….
I don’t.
I didn’t think “Well, the safety’s on” was a good explanation for the gross violation of firearms safety!
1st rule my gun nut friends tell me. Don’t point it at something you don’t want dead. You didn’t overreact.
I know. The question is: Is she that horribly bad at gun safety or does my mom subconsciously want to kill me?
Is it both?
&
*sigh* Yeah, probably.
Off to my noninternet accessable job #2…everyone enjoy the long weekend!
Have fun.
Is lawyering that non-lucrative these days that you’ve gotta work two jobs? Not being an ass, just curious why you’re working two…
She has ethics, therefore isn’t a cushy defense lawyer, that’s how!
I could probably make more at another firm but I kinda like what I do. Plus I got student loans, no child support, 2 kids in college, and a stupid falling apart house that I owe more on than it’s worth in the current market. I’d rather spend my 15 hours or so a week standing around mindlessly than take a higher paying legal job I hate.
But it’s a perfectly reasonable question. Basically if I was in the normal 5-years-into being a lawyer position of either just having myself to support or being married to someone else with a job and no (or maybe 1) kid, I’d be ok on what I make.
I see that the maker of this submission has worked with the sailors at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard….*ahem*
I’m not 100% positive but I believe that’s a rubber duck. The term used by soldiers to describe completely rubber weapons used for training, These are molded with magazine in them. If I’m wrong that’s the cleanest Iraqi AK I’ve ever seen.
Could be, although the bolt looks like bare metal and it looks like the selector switch has rubbed some of the finish off the receiver.
I’m thinking he’s checking the setting on the iron sights?
Even if he’s checking how the other guy is aiming, why is the guy holding the gun having his hand on the trigger?
Seriously, that’s like the first thing they teach you in gun safety (and in the military). Unless you’re going to shoot keep your finger off the trigger.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! WON’T SOMEBODY REPLACE THE REPLY BUTTONS!!!!
For the love of Bob, MG, stop shouting. You are ruining the picnic.
*pops three xanax, sits on blanket with Charro for picnic*
*whispers*
Hey Charro, can you pass the wine?
*sits down too*
Hey Mothergoose, can you pass the bowl of refried reply buttons?
@Captain Wow: Sorry, *cough* all I heard was “pass the bowl”…
Passing a bowl would hurt ALOT. Better get the BaconLube….
@MG you could pass that too. That would work
*nods frantically*
If it’s any consolation, it doesn’t appear we’re that special here as the other areas are having the same problem. I’ll bet they did an ‘upgrade’ and the guy doing it forgot to tick the box that said, ‘Include replies?’
Well, that would make sense, eddie. I’m sure it has nothing to do with Ann Coulter being free again for the past couple days…..
@lowly grunt: Are you saying the site is infested with button stealing Coultergeists?
It’s entirely possible, Seth. She has been on the site for a couple days and suddenly the reply buttons are missing. Coincidence?
@mg & capt wow: i just got here… did i miss something? my spidey sense was telling me that i should join the circle…
@Seth: if they had bird flu, eould they be Poultergeists?
Is it just me, or does the guy with the gun in his face look like Aron Tippin?
@HHNF: Poultrygeists.
You know, that mistake haunted me after I hit ‘add comment’.
well at least the shooter has the safety on
Ain’t that the truth.
Where I work at, they always say “Our goal is to have 0 accidents”, but you know that isn’t happening. S*** always happens, then you get some dumb fat broad who thinks that dropping a pallet on their foot is the most productive thing to do.
@MG: I sure hope those were only .25mg Xanax cause I already put roofies in this wine.. *passes bottle*
You’d think someone at ICHC would’ve noticed this problem by now and had it fixed. Or not. I dunno.
Yay tis fixed!
Seth, we have those where I work.
Froo, that almost seems like the ghosts of the chickens you’ve killed are back for revenge. I would worry, if I were you.
Jane, it’s the decapitation. It really pisses them off in the afterlife.
It is usually a blessing to get some head but it is ALWAYS a curse to lose it instead.

OMG, there’s already been a movie on poultrygeists… I hope I never have to watch it!
not suprising it’s a troma film either
Looks like the Iraqi version of Mythbusters. Complete with moustache.
“OK, Adam! Now slowly, very slowly fire the shot so we can see where it is going.”
At least he has the comfort of knowing that squishy human fingers can stop a bullet in it’s tracks.
