Fun With Guns: Hitting the Pavement Edition

July 23, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Okay, so in Lancaster, Ohio, a volunteer decided that it was his duty to guard the military recruiting station.

recruit700Christopher A. Reed is 28 years old so you gotta wonder why he didn’t just join the Marines if he wanted to play with guns.  Reed was standing in front of the recruiting station at 12:01 pm and something predictable happened.

Reed told the officer who responded that he was standing, holding his AR-15 rifle in front of the military recruiting station to guard the personnel inside when someone approached him and asked if he could take a look at the weapon. Reed agreed to show him, and while he was trying to clear the ammunition from the weapon, he accidentally fired into the asphalt pavement.

Luckily, no one was hurt.

You’d think Reed would feel crummy about the irony of this situation but you’d be wrong.

Reed said he is not a military veteran. He described himself as an active gun enthusiast who makes a living working side jobs.

He downplayed the accidental shot fired.

“It is what it is,” he said. “Nobody got hurt.”

I dunno.  Aren’t side jobs something you do if you have a job?

This guy could have gotten extra points if he’d had missed the pavement and shot himself in the foot.

Thanks to Don for the heads up.
