I've seen some dumb stuff on TV relating to firearms but this certainly takes the cake and I'm including the other doofus who blew his thumb off in front of his kids with a .22 on Doomsday Preppers.
Two Texan men have been prepping for several years together and likely due to the show they were staging a get together to show off their preparedness and to practice for Doomsday which in their case is a dirty bomb. Skipping to the idiocy - One man owns a 700 acre ranch and the other man was driving himself and his kids to this ranch. Well the ranch owner wanted to see how committed his friend was to the cause and staged a roadblock on the road leading into the ranch. The ranch owner positioned himself and his kids around his vehicle with their firearms pointed in the direction of the incoming family. All firearms appeared to be loaded (magazines in, bolt forward) and the attached lasers were on. The incoming family stopped outside the gate and were ordered out of the vehicle at gunpoint by the other prepper and his kids. They were forced to get on the ground and were glassed for weapons before they were identified and allowed to get up.
Recap: Ranch owner prepper and his kids were pointing what appeared to be loaded firearms at another unarmed family whom they were expecting purely as a "test".
I was irritated because I was taught not to point my guns at anything unless I intended to destroy it, doomsday scenario or not. I was also irritated because the other prepper didn't seem to care that a test resulted in firearms being pointed at his kids who were well under 18. Lastly I didn't care for the ranch owner to be teaching his kids that its ok to aim firearms at people unless they meant to kill them. It was all a bit out of line for my taste but it gets worse.
They decided to make IEDs to of course maim or kill people. These "IEDs" were gasoline and tannerite mixed with ball bearings and nails etc. They had to be detonated by firearms and so you had these idiots up in a treestand taking shots at these bombs. The man who drove to the ranch was equipped with a Sig Sauer 550 rifle (or similar) that had a muzzle brake attached to it. They didn't appear to be wearing hearing protection so when the 550 went off right next to the ranch owners face it caused him to think his eardrum ruptured and he proceeded to blame the other guy for firing his gun in the treestand even though he had just done the exact same thing.
The show explained that because of the muzzle brake it made the report much louder and that may be true but it didn't help that the ranch owners hearing protection was simply his hand from what I saw. His eardrum was not ruptured btw.
This entire episode was a huge firearms safety nightmare and I'm still horrified that their kids are being severely misled about what is right and wrong regarding a firearm.

Thoughts?
