Gun Safety

I've got some safety rules we need to go over before men's weekend for those who've never been around guns before. I know some of us have wives who are worried about 9 of the world's most elite warriors together in one place with nothing in mind but making things explode. Hopefully they can rest easy knowing that even though we are determined to destroy something, anything, we do it with a cheerful heart and caring smile.

  • Don't ask if the gun is loaded...the answer is always YES!

  • Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot

  • Don't shoot until you understand how it works

  • Before you hand the gun to someone ALWAYS make sure it isn't loaded and let them see you do it

  • The bullet doesn't stop until it hits something or falls to the ground, which could be anywhere up to a mile away...so keep the gun pointed at the ground OR something you plan on destroying and ALWAYS know what is beyond your target!

  • If you get a misfire, point it at the ground and let one of us know. This is an unstable state for the gun to be in. We love you...we're here to help.

  • Wear the ear protection and safety glasses. The shells in the revolvers stay in the cylinder until you eject them, but the pistols eject the shells fast and very hot


Other than that you should be good. Andrew's dad has supplied us with ear protection and a few pairs of googles, so you don't need to worry about that part. Adam, you'll need to go over the shotgun rules at some point. Now for your moment of zen...

Alright, if no one else will say it, I will.

Kevin, you are getting fat.

And it is AWESOME!

Whatever that is in the background of that mirror, (2 men in Nacho Libre masks) I need an explanation.

Also, you may be asking yourself:
"Why is Justin up at 2:57 AM posting on the site?"

It's because Justin just had to make himself throw up in the sink. His dinner of Fritos, salsa, spinach dip, fruit salad, summer sausage, cheddar cheese and Club crackers wasn't sitting so well.

Go figure.

Our blog isn't up to date on Daylight Savings Time. Kevin, fix that.

Consider it done, Justin.

JDL said...

Aaron,
I apologize. You're the Admin. Thanks you for your support.

What do I look like...the helpdesk?

Those "two" men in masks are me. That is the mask that came with the DVD. We try to decorate the house with classy things like that to give us an illusion of sophistication, when really we're just two Mexican Wrastlers.

I don't know where I got the idea you were the helpdesk.

Maybe it was all those years you waved at Satan while you drove to Celina to your helpdesk job.

Elite Warriors is a mind set I really like and we are the KICK ASS elite Warriors for the Future. THis is just our training ground. Rules for a shotgun very similar to handgun soooo we will go with that. To my Elite Warriors or My Band of Brothers, Until THen

Kevin I would also like a mask if that is possible. I will give you some fat in a trade. Until THen

Kevin said...

they may still package them with the dvd of nacho libre. it was wrapped up with the dvd.

We got a pair of miniature wrestling pants with ours, they were Ken-doll size.

But then Ken put them on, and did a SWEET Flying Phoenix off the top rope onto Allan (Midge's boyfriend)

It was well worth not getting a mask.

(I learned all about Barbie, Ken, Allan, and Midge on Wiki. I know you guys were worried.)
