wrong!  firearms are perfectly safe in proper hands. the user did not follow proper safety precautions by not maintaining a safe muzzle direction.

why were they like PlAyInG with guns ?

My brother said that, when he was in Iraq, a soldier rolled over in his sleep. He landed on his own gun and it set the gun off. He died from the wound.

It was an M-something. Not a 16 anymore, but there were people all over the place and this guy still died, most likely b/c he was hit in the wrong place.

Medics were already in the barracks, and that stuff they use, I think it's called Quik Clot, didn't even help.

I'm sure he was hit in the heart. The one place where time would be most critical.

It's hard to take this story seriously when the guy in the reenactment wearing the light geen shirt is your current acting professor as well as your play director.

6:26 - The most epic thumbs-up ever.

@justinr714 you are incorrect.

[pete5668]

@ECYale only reason to cock the hammer back is if you want to shoot single action with a shorter trigger pull for greater accuracy.

[pete5668]

@Im1man Amen to that.

[pete5668]

always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
