Rule 2 violation

It applies to Light Sabers too.

Rule 2

More important than the Surgeon General's warning ...

Negligent discharge

Over at Weer'd's:

I mad a bad choice by killing him with a bolt of fire. The bolt bounced and hit me….I survived that. But my potions of Gain Ability, and Potion of Gain Level (seriously! Now that’s just cruel!) boiled and exploded and THAT killed me!

I should have used the wand of sleep to knock him out and kill the bastard while he snored.

Rule Four includes likely ricochets, is all I'm sayin'.  But good backup plan with the wand.  Two is one and one is none, and all that ...

What first aid kit for TEOTWAWKI?

TOTWTYTR brings it.

This is a really, really good idea for a second range bag.  Hopefully nothing goes wrong, but if it does, it goes really wrong, really quick.

I also think that with as many EMT folks who are also gunbloggers, a (say) one-hour first aid refresher at a blogshoot is a particularly useful idea.  It won't make the rest of us EMTs, but it will give us an idea about what to do if something goes really, really bad.

RTWT, and bookmark it.

A helpful reminder when you're packing in your waistband

Finger off the trigger until you're lined up on target.  Boy, howdy.

Rule 2 FAIL

Remember, the muzzle should never point towards anything that doesn't need holes. Like your dad and aunts:

A bridegroom in Turkey has accidentally killed three relatives while firing an AK-47 in celebration at his own wedding, Turkish media reported.

The groom lost control of the weapon as he tried to fire in traditional celebration in the air at the ceremony in the village of Akcagoze in south-eastern Gaziantep province.

The guests were sprayed with bullets and the groom's father and two aunts were killed.

Our prayers go out to the victims of this needless tragedy.

Remember the Four Rules:

1. All guns are always loaded. I mean, otherwise, what's the point?

2. Never point the naughty end at anything that doesn't need holes in it. In regards things living, bullet holes let the blood out and the air in, and this is A Bad Thing.

3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you're lined up on target, ready to fire. The subject of today's story didn't follow this one, either.

4. Be sure of your target, and what's behind it. Once the bullet starts down range, you can't call it back.
