    Does pocket firing mean what I think it means?

    I assumed he meant pocket carry.

    Firing a gun (especially a revolver) from the pocket is a bad idea for a lot of reasons.

    With an auto you get one shot and the gun will likely jam.
    With a revolver, you'll likely get burned through your clothing by the blast coming out of the cylinder/barrel gap (and/or catch your clothing on fire). Good chance of burning your hand too which means you're also probably only getting one shot off.

    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche

    "Every time something really bad happens, people cry out for safety, and the government answers by taking rights away from good people."
    -Penn Jillette

    That is what I understood it to mean, though, it was an idea from the aforementioned conversation. Regarding the flare out the sides, I certainly hadn't considered that particular consequence. Though, that second pic looks like a real heavy load with a lot of unburned powder making it out of the barrel. But, that is a shotgun loader talking.
