#2 Since liberals tend to be a bunch of limp-wristed so-and-so's and law enforcement and military types tend to be Freepers, who's going to do the shooting?

#4 If this were Kos, you'd have superimposed a bullseye, but most 'burgers don't need one.

#5 always pretty quick to silence free speech. what a coincidence, china, north korea, and the old soviet union all practiced the same thing. chairman Mao would be proud.

#6 Be fair, he has lovely teeth, too.

AC, I'm afraid I fail the test. I know where the bullets come out, but I don't see where they go in. On the other hand, I do support your right to know such things. ;-)

#7 TW, they actually go in the bottom. Specifically, the cartridges are loaded into a magazine, a sort of narrow detachable box with the cartridges stacked vertically in single file. The magazine is then loaded into the bottom of the grip, the handle thingy on the left. You can just see the bottom of the magazine protruding below the grip.

#8 I see it now, AC. Thanks! And I close my eyes before I pull the trigger so the dust doesn't spoil my aim? ;-)

#9 TW - that works, but open is better. ;-p

Years ago, an acquaintence took me to his (outdoor) shooting range, and I eventually talked him into letting me fire his .44 mag. (He was ostensibly teaching me to fire my .357.)

I fired off a couple of shots, and he not-too-gently suggested I would hit the target more often if I kept my eyes open when I fired. :-D (I didn't even realize I had them closed.) He was right.

Eventually he let me fire it one-handed (with both his hands just below the gun to catch it, since he was sure I was going to drop it - I didn't). No, it doesn't "kick" like in the Dirty Harry movies, though it has a little more kick than my .357. He would never let me fire his hot-loads, though. :-(

I've gotten muuuuch better since then. :-D

#10 Actually, Ms. Wife, you probably want to use special glasses when shooting. While chances are something won't go wrong, IF something does, safety glasses work much better than trying to close your eyes real fast.

(I've learned that from experience, although not with firearms).

#11 Well Duh, ask any Redneck, we'll be more than happy to give instructions in owning, safe handling, clening and marksmanship.

Do NOT forget to bring plenty of ammo for target practice. 1000 rounds is a good start, by then you should be able to hit the target and not lose any toes, (Mine or yours).

You may even come up to our exacting "one round, One kill" minimum standards if you start young enough, say starting about 8 years old with a "Red Ryder" BB gun and going up from there.

If you've not owned and shot a .22 Single shot by age 10. there's little hope for getting over one kill with three bullets, a pretty poor showing in these parts.

Ummm, Definition of "Vegitarian", Lousy Hunter. We eat meat.

#12 The safety - don't forget to take the safety off!

#13 Ummm, Squeaky Revolvers don't have "Safetys"
Many single shots don't either.

Do NOT rely on anything except your own brains, mechanical devices do fail, you're far better off pretending that "Safetys" do not exist.

None of my weapons are on "Safety" far better to not have a round chambered.All weapons I own ARE loaded and NOT on "Safe" you also won't find a trigger lock (Deadly devices) anywhere near any of my weapons, we teach the children to be safe, not rely on phony devices, if you feel that a Trigger lock is needed, you don't need to be anywhere near firearms of any description.

#14 Surprised the gun doesn't have a safety condom.
