Fun With Guns: Okay, One More Chance or Maybe Two Tops Edition
Remember the capitol police who kept leaving their guns in pubic restrooms and other public places?
Well, I guess they learned their lesson, dammit. They are getting 5 days suspension and a gun safety seminar.
Pressed on whether that officer, and a member of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s detail who allegedly left a gun unattended, had been removed from their positions, Dine answered, “They haven’t been yet.” He said reassigning the officers is “certainly something we are looking at.”
And …
As part of their biannual weapons qualification, Capitol Police will receive new weapons safety training to reinforce proper handling, i.e., what to do with your gun when you go to the potty, Chief Kim C. Dine told lawmakers Wednesday.
I dunno. That appears to be way above their pay grade.
Nothing makes to feel safer than knowing that all that stands between you and a team of bad guys taking over the capitol is some guy who left his gun “in the potty.”
Thanks to Maggie for the heads up.
“…what to do with your gun when you go to the potty…”
Yikes, the DI’s used to drill you with “This is my rifle, this is my gun (mildly obscene gesture)…(paraphrasing the real Creed of course).
1It is now time for me to recall the very heroic action of the Sargent at Arms of the Canadian Parliament in recent months where he put his own life at stake to take out a gunman running amok in the halls of the Parliament Building in Ottawa. He kept his gun in a locked drawer, successfully retrieved it and put himself definitely in harms way. That gun never accompanied him to the restroom! Take that, Capitol Hill cops and McConnell staffer!
2What to do with your gun when you go to the potty….
1) If they can’t figure that out, why are they allowed to carry guns?
2) What about all the jackwagons running in and out of potties with their guns who are not Capitol Police and won’t get even that much training?
A judge has just decided that DC cannot make people who want to carry concealed have “a good reason.” Look for more idiot gunfire coming from DC.
3What to do with which gun?
4We’ll be glad to go help them look at the situation if they need help.
5Here are two different sets of rules for handling guns etc. by two different organisations, well known the world over!Which set of rules would like to have taught to everyone?
Which group of rules is the safest set?
Finally, name the two organisations that have these basic rules of safety!
1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
This is the primary rule of gun safety. Never pointing a gun at yourself or others ensures that it will not cause harm if it goes off. When outdoors, point the gun toward the ground or towards the target. If you are indoors, be mindful that a bullet can penetrate ceilings, floors, walls, windows, and doors. Use common sense to dictate the safest direction.
2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the side of the gun. Do not touch the trigger until you are ready to fire.
3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
When you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety device and remove the magazine before opening the action and checking the chamber(s). If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does.
2nd set of gun handling rules!
1. Treat every weapon as if it were loaded.
62. Never point a weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot.
3. Keep finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
4. Keep weapon on safe until you intend to fire.
Those are good rules Fred, Can you put them in a comic book form so your average gunhumper can understand them?
