Learning the rules the hard way
Foul language, so I can't post here. What's rule #1?

The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. James Madison

Re: Learning the rules the hard way
What an idiot. Here is the way to not shoot yourself:
1. Unload weapon. Verify weapon is unloaded.
2. Practice drawing. Hundreds of times. Practice proper indexing while drawing. Dont put finger on trigger. Dont. Dont.
3. Insert snap caps into mag. Keep practicing.
4. After several hundred dry draws, and several hundred snap cap draws, go to range.

From the comments
"...its not even a real person and you still manage to get shot."
I admit, I laughed at that one.

Re: Learning the rules the hard way
As stated above, duplicate topic so locking and discussion can move to that one.
