Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!! He sure did!! Picked a piss poor huntin buddy, dinnit'e? Ah, well. It could happen to anyone. I ever tell ya about the time I met with this here fellah what was huntin with us what had the safety on his 303 off?

Be damned if this here fellah was all shook up when I arrived. Told me about a deer feedin in a meadow 175 out. I asked him why he didn't take it. He asked if the 303 would reach that far!!! That's when I noticed his safety was off. I asked him if he was still all shook up. When he answered no, I asked him why his safety was off. He replied that is was on... my cousin had lent him the rifle and told him forward was safe.

I asked for the gun. He obliged. I pulled the safety back, placed the gun on the toe of my boot, curled my toes back (I ain't stunned altogether) and pulled the trigger. Nothin. I put the safety forward, offered the gun to him and said, "Your turn." He thought better of it! He's a good huntin buddy now. Still can't hit the broad side of a barn, but that's fine, on accounta we don't hunt much, really. Been years since I actually used a gun fer huntin.

Only thing we really need guns for is the people that tell us we shouldn't have them. They scare me shitless.
