So I\'m At The Pistol Range Saturday...
and I'm in the zone; some days your your motor memory takes over; once you are taught properly and have practiced a lot, your body knows how to shoot much better than your consciousness can direct.
So I'm drilling the black, shooting one of my .45's. The weird thing that happened was when I fired off my carry ammo at the end of the session- 3 8-round mags of 230 grain Remington Golden Sabers- I could see most of them flying downrange. This has never happened before. Granted they are big, shiny gold-colored and subsonic, but I havent ever repeatedly picked up a track of a flying bullet before. Im not a kid, and my vision isnt perfect. This was SERIOUS feedback for practice. I was also using Shoot-N-See targets, so I was able to see the location of strikes when they happened. Cool?

It's not going to animate and start blowing holes in the walls. As it is right now, it's a $500 paperweight, not much more dangerous than your keyboard. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Anyway, if it's unloaded, leave it unholstered...it's probably cooler that way.

[img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] I'm pro-gun and very very pro-gun-safe. At the very least I'd hope you have a trigger lock on it, but in your place I'd have it in a big metal box bolted to the floor/wall. I currently own 0 guns, since when I want to go shooting I have my pick of 40-50 and the person who owns the guns is conveniently the person who owns the property where I go shoot them. I'm not worried that I'd do something stupid with it, but rather I don't want to risk even the slightest chance it'll be used by someone else (stolen or otherwise). I learned gun safety from some very careful people, and I like their approach.
