You know what you have stated now don't you?

Everyone's going to start saying: "Hey man, don't be such a Joey", "well he really pulled a joey this time" etc, etc.....

When I was trying to come up with a fake name, the face of Joey from Friends kept popping into my head.... :)

Sounds like "Joey" has some cousins out there eh ?

Yes that's true. Let's hope we don't become Joey's cousins. No one is immune from becoming Joey's cousin.

Accidents can happen to anyone.

I think that is a perfect comparison...

"Hey guess what, I pulled a Joey!"

That could be the new thing we say when I mess up...

I like it!

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this were to catch on!

In the mid 1970's, I coined a phrase "crazier than a road lizard" referring to lizards in west Texas that would sit on the side of the road until a car came, then dart across right in front of it. It got a few laughs, but as time when on, I began to hear it from others. I even heard it in a movie and couldn't believe it!

With the Internet it should spread faster and just think, we owe it all to txinvestigator and a slip of the trigger finger!

Regards,
Chas.

Did all of the staff come in w/ weapons drawn after hearing a shot ring out?

I remember you told me last time you had ND in the store you came out of your class in the low ready to check it out.

Glad noone was hurt. "Joey" still have a job?

No, we are still not fully operational, so it was slow in the store.

In fact, I was on the range with one of our guys who just got back from NOLA working with Blackwater. He put a new collapsable Knoxx recoil absorbing stock on his 870, and we were putting it thru its paces.

We were the only ones shooting, so when we finished I took off my ear protection. I heard a shot that sounds like shots do when you are standing in the showroom and someone fires inside the range.

I looked out and saw the freaked out customer and Joey taking the gun.

The last time the store was FULL of people and there had been some robberies around..............

A firearm isn't safe unless its disassembled and it isn't cleared once it leaves your sight.

Maybe its just because my dad pounded it into my head, but I'm completely paranoid about firearms being loaded.

Interesting that you revived this thread, as I never posted what happened.

Joey had taken his identical glock a day earlier and shown it to a customer. Joey does a few modifications to his that people are often interested in. He had put his receiver/frame on the new slide to make a comparison for the customer.

Somehow, He left HIS receiver/frame on the new slide. He became distracted with customers and chambered a round in what he thought was HIS gun, but in fact was the new gun. Once that was done the gun with the chambered round was placed in the box and put into stock.

The investigation resulted in several policy changes, as you can imagine.

txinvestigator - What and where is your store? I'll stop and shop if I'm ever your area.

If you pick up a Glock w/ a fully loaded mag and one w/o, the difference is night and day. I assume if there's a switch and the loaded gun is in the box it'll have a fully loaded mag according to the description.

But, anyway, I'm glad that nobody got hurt and things turned up ok. Accidents happen.

1 round was chambered, the mag was then empty. go figure.
