You know, in my entire lifetime it never occurred to me to do that. Not once.

You crazy freak !

Deer Hunter.
One time,when i was in the US Navy, i was on sounding and security watch, the mid to 4 am watch, and i heard the mic click, so i went to the quarterdeck to see what was wrong, the guy on watch had taken the 45 cal pistol apart, and the spring flew out rolled across the deck into the water, i had to wake the OOD, he had to get another gun, the guy was busted (captains mast) and he never got to stand another QD watch.

I tried Deer Hunting a few times, froze my butt off and really wasnt into it,

12 gauge shotgun shells on top of the barrel of my Daisy Red Rider then POW!!
Had to keep digging the damn primers out of the barrel but I was too dumb to quit while I was ahead.

I didn't do this myself, but I was in a pickup with a couple buddies during deer season. The driver grabbed his rifle (it was in a custom holder mounted to the floor that held it barrel-up)-he didn't have the safety on (I know!) and grabbed hold of the trigger, discharging it before the doors were open.

Not a good feeling.
Wait what? Your buddy was driving with a loaded rifle in his vehicle???....with the barrel facing towards the passengers????

Jesus Christ! I'm sorry but that's just plain stupid.

^^^That's the whole point of this thread, right? Huh


The dumbest thing I ever did with a fire arm was hand it to my son, thinking he was paying attention when I was giving him the handgun safety talk. Pinch

Fuckin' kid pointed it straight at me.

I put my hands in the air and calmly asked him to set the pistol softly on the ground.

He hasn't been allowed near anything more deadly than a BB gun ever since.

HAR!! "scoped" damn that had to hurt though!

Reminded me of this classic fail clip

https://youtu.be/n7vHuxGLM4s
It did hurt...split my forehead wide open...blood everywhere....I didn't even know if I downed the animal because there was blood in my eyes. To make it worse, I went into shock from all the blood. There I am...Mr. Mighty Hunter...white as a ghost, fading in and out of consciousness, laying in a puddle of my own blood. That darn elk kicked my ass from 600 yards! LOL

I stopped by the cabin to get some first aid, before I even went to clean the elk....and I was so covered in blood they thought I already did.

No, I haven't lived it down yet. Still a favorite camp fire story of pretty much everyone I know. And I hang my head in shame every single time... Smile

Realized it was in the bedroom "with the burglars" when my wife and I came home and interupted a break-in.

I Shot a guy to stop him, its not as easy to shoot someone as most like to think. He wasn't who we thought he was, just a dumb guy at the wrong place at the wrong time. To this day the memories about it bother me.
