Dumb
Warning. Picture is a disturbing image

This is a friend of a friend of mine. He had just purchased the pistol and proceeded to post a series of immensely disturbing photos on his facebook profile. This of course was the one that really upset me. I definitely had a talk with him but judging by his response I don't think it made him any wiser. Just thought I would share.

Re: Dumb
Dumb is a gross understatement. Anyone that stupid to have such reckless disregard of a firearm is a danger to himself and EVERYONE he associates with. Tell your friend to drop this stupid looser before he winds up dead. The same goes for you too.

Re: Dumb
Why do people think actions like this make them cool. I don't care how many thug movies and music videos they watch, this just makes them look immature and stupid. I second joe817, get as far away from this guy as possible before he hurts or kills someone.

All guns have at least two safeties. One's digital, one's cognitive. In other words - keep the digit off the trigger until ready to fire, and THINK. Some guns also have mechanical safeties on top of those. But if the first two don't work, the mechanical ones aren't guaranteed. - me

Re: Dumb
Wow... The closest I ever got to being that gangsta on Facebook was posting a pic of my puppy holding an airsoft gun.

Re: Dumb
Thank goodness I have extremely limited contact with him. Actions such as this are without a doubt appalling to say the least. Another thing that scares me is the fact that no one else (that I knew of) that viewed the photos felt the same way (this is quite apparent considering the comments). I was always taught that any tool whether it be a gun, knife, screwdriver, or saw should be respected for it's capabilities and thus should be treated in an appropriate manner. But regardless of what I was taught I always thought it was common sense that these things aren't toys. I realize that there is little reason for me to post a picture like this but I really just had to confirm my own thoughts on it because it seems quite a few people find very little wrong with this kind of behavior (because the gun wasn't loaded).

Re: Dumb
Loaded or not, it's still a gun. There could be a day where he thought he cleared it, but didn't, and there happens to be one in the chamber, with his finger on the trigger like it was it only takes one slip. There is a video on youtube where a cop is talking to a room full of students, makes the comment that he is the only one in the room professional enough to handle a glock, just then the glock goes off and shoots him in the foot. It only takes one second, or slip of mind, for things to go wrong.
Glad to hear you have limited contact, and it is scary how many people think that is was cute or gangsta.

I saw "dumb" and "stupid" used in previous posts to descibe this child's antics, did I miss "infantile" and/or "immature"?
