Re: Make sure you know what kind of gun you have.
How about a friend of a friend (but NOT my friend!!) chambering a .357 Sig in a .40 S&W? He got it to chamber and had a malfuction of sorts, then when he tried to rack a new round it was way jammed to which my friend took the firearm and noticed the necked down round vs. the flat nose of a .40. Not only did he not pay attention to what he was loading into the firearm, he tried to make excuses. "Dude, it was the same box as the other stuff...how was I supposed to know!" (Both the .40 and .357 Sig were WWB) He was new to firearms, but 3 different people calmly explained the 4 basic rules of safe handling and operation, and other various pointers....like showing him various calibers and how to match a head stamp to the stamp on the barrel! Needless to say, he doesn't some to the range with any of us anymore.
