I wish this was a joke...

Headline basically says it all: "Man guarding “Muslim-free” gun range bends over, drops weapon, accidentally shoots self"

It DEFINITELY wasn't Glock Perfection...

From the types I've seen pulling these stunts, it would surprise me if it were anything better than a hi point or jennings. Or Taurus...

Where in the article and video did it say it was a 1911?

Was it Muskogee or Muskogree? The article's author may need a safety on his keyboard...but then again he's only an "Assistant Editor" and can't be expected to proof his own work.

HB,

Why are you reading Salon anyway?

P.S. don't read the comments, your head will explode from the sheer amount of stupid there.

People actually READ salon? It was posted by a gun-owning friend on FB and I had to check to make sure it wasn't satire.

This happened in a national forest, right?

And he got the gun from Oath Keepers after it was delivered to the wrong address by the USPS. He was bending over to pick up his sunglasses that a LEO knocked off his face.

[sniper7]

Yeah but what does Trump have to say about all this?

Excellent. Especially the last line. First you asked me to laugh, then you told me to laugh, finally, you MADE me laugh.

Looks like this happened a couple days ago.


Terrence Veninga, 57, of Checotah dropped his old Colt .45-caliber revolver and shot himself at Save Yourself Survival and Tactical Gear.

Now I picture someone decked out for a cowboy action match guarding the store. :)

A single action army....

What feller weren't taught to load one, skip one, load four?

For anyone that doesn't understand the Colt Peacemaker / Single Action Army / Model P and all of the clones out there, even though the cylinder holds six, you only load five and keep the hammer sitting on an empty chamber for this very reason.

Gotta be a pretty cush guard posting in Oktaha, OK. Seriously doubt there are any Muslims in that town.....place is teeny tiny backwoods OK.....

Good point, and there is probably a job opening right now.

[Rumline]

That's pretty tacticool to have a single action army in a chest rig.
