As most of you know by now, I'm an unabashed gun nut. That said, one thing that pisses me off faster than almost anything is someone being a complete dumbass with a potentially deadly tool. m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=81550To clear things up, this moron really is looking down the barrel of a student's revolver, allegedly to check her sight alignment. Also note that her finger is on the fucking trigger of what I can only assume to be a loaded weapon. And apparently the idiot "instructor" wound up blowing off one of fingers doing in improper press check of a student's pistol. Thankfully this fucktard is no longer a licenced firearms instructor. Anyone else know of any potential Darwan Award recipiants?

You can only win a Darwin if you are killed or otherwise remove yourself from the gene pool. So this guy is only a potential winner.
Well there was the idiot who did an "S" passing maneuver using the turn lane to get around someone in front of him, and seeing me pulling into said turn lane swerved back out just in the nick of time. I called him in for aggressive driving.

I totally saw an instructor running a class like that at my local range. Reported it to the head range safety officer, and he is no longer allowed to teach at my local range. I think they might have even banned him for a couple months.
As a range safety officer myself, I think everyone should be brought to the range for a one on one safety brief with a (competent) instructor before going in a large group. Might be unpractical, but theres nothing more nerve wracking than trying to teach a nervous newbie, while you're trying to keep an eye on the rest of the bozos out on the range.

Few things piss me off faster than someone being stupid with a weapon. Last time I was at the range I heard someone say "how do I load this thing?" My interest was piqued as hearing something like that on the line definately stands out. Then I heard them cussing the gun. Turns how they did the infamous "H&K mag" load (i.e. bullets facing backward in the mag) and somehow forced the gun, a Springer 1911, into battery. If you're wondering where the RSO was at... he'd went back to the counter because he forgot his eyes and ears and the "shooters" had gone into the range without him. They were billed the price of the gun (1,200 since it was an MC Operater) and then banned for 3 months.

I'm not exactly Mr. Gunhaver over here, but how could anyone do that? Did they think the bullets spin around in mid-air or something?

No clue. From what I could tell they had precisely zero experience with guns and were too impatient to wait for the range officer who was going to teach them how to safely use the gun.

Well if nothing else, the guns were pretty safe loaded up like that. Pretty hard to discharge a shot when the primer is no where near the hammer.

I felt that through time and space. Procreation cannot be possible after that.

I like the "crunch " noise the tree makes when he lands on it.

You sure it's the tree? I mean the alternative is bad, but still....

Sorry, he's disqualified, not only is he still alive but the possibility of breeding still exists. That is unless he drank so much booze his testicles ended up being utterly pickled.
