My favorite one was when that guy sootch from youtube shot the hood of his truck multiple times, striking the battery. Not the brightest bulbs on the christmas tree.

Something tells me insurance might refuse liability and deny coverage.

The fraking idiot clause.





But for the grace of god.......








Not being chronically cranial anally inverted helps too.

At the range is one thing. Life n death is another.

Anyone remember the police sniper that took several shots...3 or 4 I think...and was wondering why the bad guy wasnt reacting or going down till he realized he was hitting a tree or block wall he was behind due to this same issue?

Steve Rodriguez, Albuquerque PD
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-sniper/

Thirteen-year veteran Steve Rodriguez was in place in Albuquerque, N.M., as police responded to an armed bank robbery in progress. Looking through the scope, Rodriguez could see someone with dark hair, sunglasses, in a suit, and holding a woman by the arm, he recalls.
Rodriguez's target was smaller than a softball. But Rodriguez managed to center the man in his sights and squeeze the rifle trigger.
He fired two times and missed. Rodriguez had failed to adjust his rifle scope, sending his bullets slamming into a concrete wall.
Rodriguez says he fired the third shot and hit the target at the top of his head, exactly where he had been aiming.

Yeah, right -- "failed to adjust his rifle scope." Not exactly. He failed to allow for offset. Stood up a couple inches higher so his muzzle cleared the wall, and made the head shot.
