Years ago, friends on NY transit PD and NYPD (This was before the two departments merged which should give you an idea of how long ago this was) told me that one of the reasons why proficiency with weapons was so low because they had to pay for their own ammo, which was a huge disincentive to actually training with their weapons. Likely the same still applies.
Troll knows about my total newbieness with firearms, as does SgtUSMC. But I would like to say I am a talented beginner! :)
Are these cops or airmen?
Security Forces dudes have onein the chamber whenever they are on duty, and I bet I can keep up with ya on the range ;)
I know...the tower at Bagram has the holes to prove it.
I was speaking more abut the rank and file airmen I see, mostly Comm and the aircraft maintainers. They're only allowed to clean their weapons in the Security Forces armory and no one enforces a schedule beyond the final cleaning before they turn in their weapons. By the end of the rotation their -16's and -9's are in horrible shape.
And of your weapon handling skills I have no doubt.
This does not fit the 'silly' stuff at the gun shop... but the 'really bad shit that happened' at the gun shop.
I walked into Quantico Tactical (at the old Ford Dealership truck lot on Ft Campbell Blvd) and was talking with Doug when another dude started talking guns further to my left about 10 ft away. The dude behind the counter is talking to him, and customer said, 'but is it something like this?' and my peripheral vision sees him reaching for his sidearm. just about to present it, goes to clear the 1911 by doing the following; 1. Drops mag (step one.. check) 2. Lower the thumb safety (good so far) then 3. PULLS the trigger (not good any more) BBBBOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!
I friggin drop and roll right(more of a flop kinda roll), and am trying to pull my HK when I finally realize that this is bad but not real bad .No one is robbin the place. Almost literally shit my pants.
Doug hits the roof and they commence to yell at this POS. Everyone checked out as OK and do damage other than the hole in floor and dudes ego, so Doug asks him to leave. For about a year after that, anytime someone started talking about 'their gun' they were asked politely 'do you have it on you?' and if so 'please leave it holstered because this dumbass did this..."
Could have been tragic but he still had it pointing at the floor. To the day that they moved you could see the torn quarter sized hole in the carpet and see the small divot of concrete blown away.

Security Forces also have E-7's that run their M16's over with their patrol hmmwv's.
What do you think? We're talking early-90s vintage Sharon Stone. Of course it was epic...
Okay kids, this is an example of an "EPIC FAIL." Note that Assad teased stories about porn stars and Sharon Stone's sexual habits and skills and when called on his LACK of detail he returned to confirm that the stories are "epic" and then he AGAIN passes on the details.
FAIL, EPIC, 1 ea.
Agree, names or picture-otherwise it didn't happen.
Err, uhh, we're talking a 19-yr old kid (me) chatting up movies stars. Also, as many of you old farts know, there weren't digital cameras back then. If I'd had any foresight, I'd have tons of polaroids. Alas, like most 19-yr olds, I was more worried about hot porn chicks seeing my boner than asking for pics.
Not much chance of them seeing that. :cool:
There weren't hot porn chicks back then either unless you like a chick who wears hair panties while sporting the National Geographic breasts.
"hair panties" BAWHAHAHAHAHA!
First, there were plenty of hot ones in the '90s:

Second, it was a magical time for me. Quit trying to disparage the memory...

I've worked for a gunsmith here in town for a couple of years. His Checkering is fantastic, and I have learned many things in his shop. One lesson is that everyone and I mean EVERYONE has a weapon "that my great grandpa used in the Civil War." One of these weapons came in for a new firing pin.... Remington 870 ;)

I heard this same joke in a gun store. :confused:
Linda Lovelace showed all of us how a blowjob is supposed to be..................................(insert the gag sound)
For some reason firearms do draw the clowns out of the woodwork. I've heard these "Civil War" BS stories a hundred times from some drunk in a bar or at a pig roast.

Great stories. Thanks to all who have been contributing. These clowns, sure does encourage one to believe that there should be a way to keep firearms out their hands. I am not sure who is worse, the anti-gunnuts or these clowns.
