Starting the Season off with a Bang - Literally
 

OMFG - after staying up until 4:00 a.m. farting around on the computer, I was rudely awakened by the burglar alarm about ten minutes ago. Grabbed the .38 and charged downstairs to find the door to the garage slightly ajar. Cocked the .38, pulled the door open. Nothing there.

My wife hadn't checked to make sure the door was closed when she activated the alarm, and one of the cats had pawed the door open. It's happened before. :grr:

Unfortunately, what hadn't happened before is me, tired and freaked out, having my thumb slip off the hammer of the .38 when I was trying to uncock it. Just shot a fucking hole through the wall in the hallway which exited through the pantry door onto the kitchen floor. :eek:

Shit.

:cuss:

So I've had four hours of sleep, my ears are still ringing from the alarm and the gunshot, I just shot up my own fucking house, and no way am I going to be able to go back to sleep now.

Sure hope my day improves with a Chiefs victory.

That is all.

:bang:

You have a panty door? Hm, what happens in there?

Now don't go running off half-cocked...

oops too late :evil:

'Hole'y shit.

Now why did you shoot a hole in your wall? That was a silly thing to do.

Nice typo. :banghead:

IT'S AN OMEN!

put your morning coffee on a nice lace doiley and everything will be ok Martha...

You know if the Chiefs play really well today, you may have to shoot a hole in the wall before every game. You know for good luck.

I think we may have to take turns on that one. :hmmm:

those freaking shadows on the wall creep me out too... i used a shotgun last time

I have to say, if you would have shot the cat and/or wife you could have fixed the problem permanantly.

A warning shot might be warranted, though.

Get your wife to give you a blow job....that should change the karma.

you need to take a weapons safety course if you plan on running around like a bandit with a loaded gun. jesus man, a gun should never accidently go off.

She's actually pretty pissed at me right now for shooting up the kitchen. :spank:

WTF? It's not like you shot the refrigerator.

Besides, if she hadn't left the f**king door open would you have been running around the house with a loaded gun? NO. This s**t is her fault if you really think about it.

Did you play basketball for Mizzou a while back?

I'm glad your house is the only thing with holes in it this morning.

Ah, Mr. Perfect chimes in. It's always nice to hear from you. I suppose you're at your best on four hours of sleep with a piercing alarm ringing in your ear, right?

It was a mistake, and I'll learn from it. It was also the first time in my life I ever accidently discharged a firearm. And the bullet did not endanger anyone else, since I had the weapon pointed down at the time, because I do know gun safety.

ROFL

Cheeefs,
That's why you always control your muzzle. To say it should never happen is dumb. I've handled guns my entire life. It's happened to me once. today was Fraz's turn. Be happy that it was pointed in a safe direction and noone was hurt. Ohh and don't be a dick.

maybe it was a panty drawer he shot through?

I'm sorry but as a lifelong gun owner, I have to disagree. Accidental discharges are %100 preventable. That said, it is worth noting that fraz did have the gun pointed down. It's all about following proper procedures, and making sure the equipment works. Cheefs, quit bein' a dick.

Ever drop a plate or hit your thumb whith a hammer. 100% preventable but it still happens. A gun is a tool treat it with respect and use proper procedures so if an accident happens everyone is safe. I've had one accidental discharge in 25 years, but i'm not so arrogant to think it'll never happen. That is why we use proper gun safety, for when things go wrong.

What would have really sucked is if you shot a hole in your foot. Can you imagine? You would feel pretty stupid for a long time. Envision this conversation:

Wow what happened to you man?
Ummm I got shot in the foot.
Oh my God, were you mugged?
No
Were you in Iraq?
No
Were you attacked by looting New Orleanians?
I shot myself in the focking foot, OK Mr. Enquirer!

See........It could be worse. :p

That's a fair assessment, and I agree. As I said, it was a learning experience, and those are almost always mistakes. At least the damage is easily fixable with a little putty and some paint.

In hindsight, I should have grabbed the Glock instead (no hammer to deal with, and this wouldn't have happened). Just happened to grab the .38. I think in the future I'll move the .38 to the back of the drawer and keep the Glock in front.

heh he might have got some pity lovin, now he's in the dog house and cut off for about a week.

Way to go, Martha.

Guns don't shoot houses, people do! ROFL

Frazod is so gangsta not even the pantry is safe from being blasted

THink of it like this... You luckily avoided any plumbing... :)

No shit. No wiring, plumbing or appliances (the pantry is right next to the refrigerator). Drywall putty, wood putty and a little paint. All things considered, I got out of this pretty easy.

There, I know thats what you were really thinking.

yeah, sorry I didn't mean to come off as a dick. Although I realize that it was exactly how I came off, I just am a big proponent of weapons safety, I do handle weapons on a daily basis I currently carry an M-16 A2 from 7am to 7pm at a NYC train station 5/6 days a week and occasional carry an M9 instead depending on location. Even in times of distress we are not allowed to even chamber a round, much less take it off safe, unless we are 100% sure that we are going to shoot and kill someone who deserves it. It's more out of concern for you and your safety, I'm glad that you are taking steps to make sure it never happens again. :thumb:

haha I can just imagine the look on your face though, that shits straight out of the movies.

36 minutes until game time!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's why you keep the hammer on a empty chamber. Tim should only have 5 rnds in that revolver. ROFL

Note to self: Guns + Frazod = Bad :eek:

Thats a funny story Fraz!!

Actually, I did shoot the refrigerator. That's what stopped the bullet. The hole is in the side of the door right at the bottom. Stopped the damn thing from going through the floor into the basement.

So I've got a big ass dent in the bottom of the door, but it won't really be noticable and won't hurt the functionality of the refrigerator.

Another reason I should have grabbed the Glock - it's loaded with safety slugs. Why I went for the .38 instead I just don't know.

If I don't win the Planet Dumbass of the Week Award, I hate to think what somebody will have to do to beat me. :shake:

IMHO there is a reason modern revolvers have double action. Single action is for target shooting. No way should it ever be used in a self defense situation. Count this as a lesson learned, and be thankful no one was hurt.

DT

Guns don't kill people. Dumbasses with guns kill people;)

Sorry fraz. Glad no one got hurt.

This reply made my day...................
 

and, it reminded me of Green's throw into complete and total double coverage today. Both were piss poor decisions. But you both got away with it. Week 1 complete.

My Dad lives out by Longview Lake, and he some crazy white guy covered in tatoos with no shirt banging on his door last December trying to let my Dad let him sleep on his couch. Of course he said no, told the guy to leave, the guy wouldn't, so he called the cops.

About 45 minutes later the guy is back, banging on his door, so my Dad shows him his pistol and tells him to get the hell away from his house, and calls the cops again.

About 30 minutes later my Mom hears a noise, wakes up my dad, and they hear somebody jiggling the door handle trying to get thier house. My dad slips down the ahllway, into the living room, and as he chambers a round into 9mm the sound is just enough to set off a dancing Christmas catus singing "Felis Navadas" they had set up with their Christmas stuff.

The bullet hit 3 feet over the Christmas Cactus' head and put a hole through a 150 year old book case and half dozen antique books. Needless to say they guy never came back, and my mom was pissed about her book case.

Just be glad it wasn't a 12 gauge full of 00 buck shot. :hmmm:

The night before the big game
Frazod was feeling ranty
cooking on 4 hours sleep
He shot the house's panty
He grabbed his trusty .38
and went to check the lock
Some small mistakes-but nothing breaks
next time he'll grab the Glock

That's gotta suck Fraz. I imagine you had to clean up some kitty poop too, huh?

I really hate to break this to you, Fraz, but in light of the results of the Chiefs game today following your initial post, you're hereafter required to shoot a hole in the wall of your house each week and post a precise explanation of what the result was, at least until the next Chiefs loss...

I mean, you can't jinx them now that the defense is playing well, right...?






:evil:

We never did hear what happened to the rest of the story. Did Tim's wife take his weapon away. :)

thug

What the hell did you bump this for?

Because he's a ****ing reerun.

Well, to be fair, you were the one who shot up your kitchen.

:D

I thought this one was in the Hall of Classics?

ROFL

reerun? says the guy that is known for discharging prematurely...

I have no use for the assclown contingent that bumps years-old threads for no good reason.

When Skip dies you'll make an excellent replacement.

it's funny though:D

Well it happened after I signed up, but dont remember it...

I thought it was funny as hell!

I am sure Mrs Frazod is thrilled that you prematurely discharge your weapon! :D

That's just wrong.

Well, whoever bumped this thread, thank you from this noob!ROFL

A .38? Fraz, are their no Mens guns for sale in Chi-town? :evil:

a .38 is considered good for home defense. You don't need a magnum for something intended for shots within five yards.

A lot of people would say a .380 is even good, cause it allows for minimum recoil, keeping you on target. If you somehow miss with your first shot, you want to be able to get that gun back down and on the person as fast as possible.

But in the end, its the piece you're most comfortable with.

Apparently you missed the smiley. I was razzing him....a bit of fun. Personally, I prefer a .45

I did miss the smiley. And a .45 is a good choice, IMO. Knockdown rates are 100%, meaning even if some amphetamine-head happens to threaten you, he's still going down.

Cause if any of you have ever seen a meth head get hurt, its crazy. They can get their hand cut off, and they'll keep going. I'm not going to lie and say I've had first-hand experience, but I've seen enough videos, and heard enough stories from my paramedic aunt that I'm convinced.

Then you either learn the Mozambique drill, or buy a 12 gauge pump with an 18" barrel.

No methhead is going to be able to withstand the hydrostatic shock from #4 buckshot.

I started reading this thread thinking "AGAIN???"

sigh.

I shouldn't smoke in the morning.

At least he didn't shoot lassie

We'll see how many SNL fans we have with that reference.

He wiped his ass with the american flag!!! And he shot lassie!!!

Bump, I'm glad he did, I missed it when it came out.

Tim, you got any hunting trips planned with Dick Cheney ?

Of the week? Understatement of that week, maybe. You don't give yourself enough credit. ROFL

I suppose you'd hide under the bed and send your wife down to investigate the alarm.

Probably. And I'd use my kids as shields too.

damn cats... I check all entrances before set alarm.

I'd actually been thinking about this, since we're having the house painted this week. The walls in the kitchen will now be a darker color, even though the hole is near the bottom of the side of the door, I think it will stand out more now. Probably time to fill in the hole and paint it over before my mother-in-law notices it.

Never thought I'd have to bondo my refrigerator. :D

The Shitcrickers of America approve this message.

Thanks, buddy. :D

:clap:

But that's when it works the best, am I right?

Hamas is right, 12 gauge is best for home defense. Saw it off, or use a modified choke, and you don't even have to aim really. plus the chik\chik sound of the pump loading the round is enough to turn any meth-head as white as his stuff.

I'd buy a pistol grip mod before I sawed one in half. If you're just looking to lose a few inches for maneuverability at least.

GUN CONTROL!1!!!1!1

edit:

What porn site were you on before being so rudely interrupted?

I was probably playing KOTOR.
