It frightens me to know that there are so many people out there with firearms that are that stupid! My son brought his wife over for a visit, and we did a little shooting with the .22's. My son wanted to shoot some of the bigger guns, so we had it. His wife wanted to shoot the .44 mag with us, but I told her that she wasn't ready for that much gun yet. She will get to shoot it, but only after she has worked her way up to it. To much to soon will just make her afraid of guns. Next visit will include the .22's, a .380, and possibly the SKS. Depending on how long we stay at it, she might get to shoot the guns that really kick.

Dang, it's frightening how many gun owners will put something in the hands of a novice with zero training. Over and over in that compilation we just see "bad form", combined with too much firepower! (And good for you, Carver, for just saying no to her!)

Remember that scene in the original 'True Grit', when Glen Campbell shoots the turkey with his Sharps? John Wayne leans over to Kim Darby and says, "Too much gun." I love that line.

Being from Kentucky, I gotta say that I figure EVERYONE of them said "Hey Bubba, watch this" right before the camera went to work..........

I didn't see much humor in the video. It was just dangerous and stupid. If you want to do something stupid, get a safer hobby.

When my wife was young, her idiot redneck brothers had her shoot a 12 gauge shotgun, telling her it wouldn't kick. She still won't shoot guns with me.

Sorry, but I have no patience with stupid people with guns.

In reality, I probaly shouldn't refer to my wife's brothers as rednecks, it gives the rednecks a bad name.

Sorry - the people in the video reminded me of my in-laws, and they always get my blood pressure up.

Merry Christmas all.

It never ceases to amaze me how many idiots think that they should "line up and site" a pistol gripped shotgun. Wtf? Too many cartoons or what? But I will say, the requirement that attractive female shooters wear halter tops, now they might just have something THERE!!

Gene pool. Filter it. Just sayin'.

On behalf of myself and my redneck friends, I appreciate the clarification.

Love that one. .700 nitro. Anybody wanna try it? I do.

at least the part where the one year old boy shoots and kills his dad didn't end tragically. i say it didn't end tragically because the dumbsh*t needed it. someone stooped enough to give an INFANT a locked and loaded gun would have inevitably gotten him killed by some other means before too long. the poor boy was merely shooting in self defense!
