Palindrome, SASS #54445 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Don’t shoot with an empty gun. If you do, although the detonation may be loud and deafening, no execution will be done. Do not overcharge your piece, lest you explode it and hurt yourself. This is sometimes the case. If you are not an experienced marksman, do not attempt to shoot your game on the wing. Let it settle, otherwise, you may waste your ammunition. Repeaters are not the best, perhaps, for ordinary use. Better see that there are sights on your gun, and then take proper aim, or else you may do mischief when you don’t intend it. Be careful to have the right end of your gun toward you, if you wish to shoot again. Upon the whole, you had better be careful of guns; they are dangerous things sometimes when there are many of them about in either experienced or inexperienced hands.

Good advice. It can be SO hard to tell which end is which! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Creek Law Dog Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 When watching those old TV westerns from the 50's and 60's that carry, point and threaten people with empty chambers in the handguns and the button on the 1860 Henry at the unloaded position. It's strange that so many supposed victims were fooled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oak Ridge Regulator Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 perhaps that should be sent to MSN, CBS, ABC and the rest of the snowflake news services, they certainly dont have a clue what their reporting about when it comes to firearms and that sounds simple enough for even their snowflake educated minds to understand, ooops did I say that out loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
