I just effing shot myself

[olds]

Even more LOL is the fact he was only about 2 feet from the target..

What's wrong with that?

 

[SunnyD]

I love how he put the gun on the ground and walked away from it. That was funny.

 

[pontifex]

What good is training if you're not training with a loaded weapon?

stuff like quick draw like he is doing you want to do it unloaded, you know, so you don't shoot yourself. you do it unloaded a bazillion times until it's 2nd nature, then you add the ammo.

 

[pontifex]

Leave the pistol tricks to John Wayne, people.
Also, rule #3 should be to never sell guns to mentally handicapped people. Your constitution is a blessing and curse America.

because actors are experts on guns? lol

Quit fucking playing with the thing and shit like that never happens. Its the same story for all kinds of dangerous activities. People who think they're great fighters get their asses kicked the most while trying to do something stupid, people who think they're great drivers have the most wrecks while trying to do something stupid, people who think they're badass shots shoot themselves or other people accidentally while trying to do something stupid.

The solution: Stop trying to be a fucking badass. Avoid fights, drive carefully, don't do tricks with guns. Your safety record in all those activities will far exceed anyone's who claims to be good at any of them.

If you watch the other video from him explaining the whole story he said he's done quick draw "thousands" of times.

It was the holster that tripped him up.

Index finger retention buttons are a terrible idea. They are not allowed in many places for this exact reason. It basically forces your index finger to be above the trigger and pushing inwards as you pull upwards on the firearm.

 

[Cogman]

BTW, was anyone else reminded of this?

"Hi. I'm Plaxico..."

 

[squirrel dog]

"After I shot myself,my training took over.I called my parents."

 

[vshah]

it wasn't just the holster, it was the fact that he had earlier been using a holster with a thumb release, then he switched to a holster with the finger release, but his brain/muscle memory forgot to make the switch.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Even more LOL is the fact he was only about 2 feet from the target..

Would be even more amusing if he were confronted by a thug and ended up shooting himself with his own gun.

 

[airdata]

and this guy's allowed to own a gun? LOL

 

[KLin]

I'm sorry but this is wrong. There's a video out there where a guy shoots himself in the head at what looks like a press conference. I nearly pissed myself laughing. THAT is how you troll people. Instead of doing it at home where it doesn't traumatize people, do it out in public in front of as many people as possible.

the problem was he had practised so much with another gun and holster, that it was infact 2nd nature, but the safety and holster release was completely reversed on the ones he used in the video.

so, yeah

one of the greatest an heros in the world.

LOL, but nothing tops the famous DEA agent

I see someone already got him posted.

 

[illusion88]

I can see how that can happen. Sounds like really crappy holster design.

3:24 "because negligent discharges happen" "things just tend to happen" "I consider myself to be a safe gun owner"

Hmmm...

 

[werepossum]

That video and my resulting laughter is proof you are wrong.

This. And filming yourself accidentally shooting yourself - priceless.

 

[BoomerD]

I shot myself! NEGLIGENT DISCHARGES HAPPEN!

Guys website --> Tex Grebner

So...would that qualify as a "premature discharge?"

Seeing someone get shot is NOT funny, even if they shoot themselves.

How wrong you are...that was funny as hell.

I suppose you're referring to Senator Budd Dwyer? Yeah, hilarious stuff. Not surprising coming from you. Says a lot that you don't remember what it was about, or who it even was, just that someone shot themselves in the head and you laughed.

So now it's my job to remember every asshole who shoots himself on TV?

 

[IcePickFreak]

Because there have been so many?

Will the world stop spinning the day you have a clue about what you're talking about for once? We'll likely never know.
