bride and groom shoot wedding photographer

[ampguy]

I wonder ...

I wonder ...

if one of these, with alternating shot shells and random bullets would damage the tire

In the realms of Pointless Firearms Knowledge, a .44 magnum is far likelier than a .45.How do I know...?

Well, I was talking to a cop (a fellow motorcyclist) once about a Harley-Davidson sales drive in the UK. He had been assigned to test it. He said he felt a complete prat riding the thing, but that what really annoyed him was that they were claiming 'bulletproof tyres that couldn't be shot out'.

As well as being a motorcycle cop he was firearms qualified and had been taught that trying to shoot out a tyre with any normal handgun at any normal range was a waste of time. You need a VERY powerful pistol; or VERY close range; or a rifle.

Cheers,

Who wrote that warning? Yoda?? I guess that explains why there are gun accidents!

yeah

yeah

A friend of mine has a gun, that has stamped in the metal, something like "Read the Instructions before using"

Too bad the bart cop at the Fruitvale incident didn't do that. Reading something like "this is a real deadly gun, not a taser" might have saved the poor helpless kid's life.

I was a second shooter at a wedding and the main photographer (my boss) told the groom and his grooms men to pose with their hunting rifles. She then asked them to point them at her so she could take a fun photograph. They flat out refused and gave her a lecture in gun safety. I no longer work for that photographer.

I have a lens cleaning brush from 1956 with "read instructions before using" and "keep out of the hands of anyone that cannot follow these simple instructions". It has a radioactive strip in it to help remove lint and dust... Perfect for my Summicrons.

I have heard they still make Staticmasters. Have you kept yours up?
