Thread Name: BS: Something I learned about shotguns.
Subject: RE: BS: Something I learned about shotguns.
Out in the boonies, about 30 years ago, we're on a safari. Pick-up trucks and rag tops out on what is called Crown Land in Canada. And just so you know, we never shot a living thing(killed many a car though)! I'm sitting in the back of a 65 Chevy rag top. I have a single shot Remington 12 gauge. The one with the hammer just behind the breach. I decide to put the shotgun on the back seat and fire it to scare the shit out of everyone in the front seat. When my cousin turned around the shotgun was about 18" off the seat. He said "did you fire that with one hand"? I said "yep"! So he grabs this shotgun, puts in a 00 buck points it in the air, pulled the trigger and drove that hammer about and inch into that fleshy part between your thumb and forefinger.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!
