You gotta watch out for those birds too.

I'm sure you did learn a lesson that day, but I'd bet your brother learned a bigger, more sobering, and lasting lesson. Upon learning that it was loaded with a round in the chamber, I bet he sat down for a bit after all the blood drained from his face.

Why is "Common" sense so uncommon?

I'm thinking it is merely ignorance about a particular subject. So many people never receive even a basic education about firearms. A basic understanding is about all I got as a kid and got to go shooting about once every 2-3 years. The two most important things and just about all I knew; the gun is always unloaded until checked at least twice and keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Everything else I know about guns, not too much BTW, I've learned in the last 11 years since purchasing my first gun in 2001.

Thanks, OldGringo, for the laugh. I know this is a serious topic, but that one was really good.

You mean TexasGal?
