Speaking of stupid, I did one heck of a dumb thing yesterday. As Billy knows, I have been having trouble with my 10/22 misfiring a lot. Well, after running through one of the clips, I locked the bolt back and looked down the barrel, and it never occurred to me to check the chamber to see if one of those unfired rounds got hung up in there. Haven't had any real problems with hangups, but I don't want to first one to result in my being shot in the head. Usually, I always check the chamber before putting the gun down after a session, just didn't do it this time. I guess this is how accidents happen. We just have to try real hard to limit the number of mistakes we make so that the accidents are a lot less likely to happen.

If that was my kid that put the shell in that gun, he wouldn't be able to sit for a week, and I agree that the idiot that pulled the trigger should get an adult butt kicking.
