    Unloaded ? What unloaded ?

    It is what a firearm should be while transporting in MD or when checking it on a plane... Those are the only two instances which come to mind...




    And keeping with the threadjacking...

    Anytime/everytime I load a weapon, I point it in the direction of my FIRST-wife.

    IF there's an AD and she goes down, it won't be the first time she did that.
    (Might be her last, though!) Doh!!!!!!!!!!
































    j/k!!!

    I think it's a good idea to minimize the amount of loading and unloading you do. Most ND's I've heard about happen when people are unloading or loading their guns. In my opinion, it's best to just leave guns loaded and not screw around with them much. Rule #1, right?

    Some people like to dry fire. :thumbsup:
    Also, for whatever reason, people who are OCD feel the need to clean and reclean a pistol even though it just sat and hasn't been fired. :tdown:

    I aim at the peg board back wall of my work bench, the wall behind it is concrete. Though if I am having a bad day I may load it looking down the barrel at the chamber. :)

    Analogy: Almost all aircraft accidents are during takeoffs and landings.

    And, they're almost always pilot error.

    How does a flight attendant know she slept with a pilot?


    When she wakes up in the morning and her USAtoday is gone. Little airline humor :)
