This guy scares the crap out of his wife with some firecrackers. She will never touch a gun again. Maybe once to kill him.

What would happen to you guys?

Gals what would you do?

Oh my! She looks terrified. I don't consider that a "fun and games" type of practical joke.

At the end you can hear her say "You're an asshole." I agree with her.

Weapons are not toys. Scaring the crap out of someone while they're handling a weapon is not funny, IMHO.

I did notice she had her finger on the trigger as she was looking at the gun,
you don't do that until you are ready to shoot.

This whole video should be shown as a 'what not to do' in a gun safety course.

ItWasMe

It's also dangerous. Especially if they have their finger near the trigger. She could have squeezed the trigger instead of dropping the gun.

What would I do? Very possibly, I'd think I was being shot at, and turn around to fire back. He's damn lucky she didn't do that.

I chuckled.

Hope it wasn't loaded.

If the gun wasn't loaded, It's quite possibly the funniest prank ever. If it was loaded it's just asking to get shot when she tenses up and pulls the trigger after the first firecracker. Hopefully the guy wasn't stupid enough not to leave a loaded gun in her hands while he's in the house getting firecrackers for his prank.

I would agree with you, cybermike. I laughed pretty good at it, though. I'm assuming an unloaded gun. It's funnier that way.

Hilarious! oh man!

as long as there was no ammo in that weapon, i think his choice of "revenge" was just fine.

One of the most dangerous things you can do with a gun is assume it's unloaded. Even if he had just checked, it's possible he missed something, and it's possible she loaded it while he was getting the firecrackers.

I'm stilling going with STUPID. Loaded, unloaded- doesn't matter to me, a hand gun or any other weapon is not a toy. The whole thing is not funny, it's dumb.

And I agree with you... always, always assume it's loaded.

BTW- the only time I'm looking down the working end of a barrel is when cleaning it and it's removed from the rest of the weapon.

that's the way I was taught to handle any firearm. ALWAYS.

But you know people think it's funny to see dumb things.... so I just don't like to be around dumb people as they do the dumb things. There's no reason for me to be in a funny or tragic video.

What a fuckin asshole....

tenchi069

there were 4 things that were taught to me, though i can only remember 3 at the moment. ill come back and edit when i remember the 4th

1. A firearm is always loaded.....ALWAYS

2. Know your target and what is behind it.

3. Never point your weapon at anything you do not intend to destroy.


At least 2 of these were violated during that video

I don't think she was of sound enough mind to do so. She has bad trigger discipline and she seemed apprehensive before the prank, so I'm assuming she doesn't have a lot of experience with firearms. I'm surprised she didn't pull the trigger when those firecrackers went off. If she had, she probably would have shot herself or sent a bullet through the sliding glass door.

If you can pull that off and have to training to do so, my hat is off to you.

I'm wondering what she did to him that precipitated this revenge. Might it have been just as stupid and dangerous?

Last one is finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

And for what it's worth, everyone on the gun forum I'm on agrees that it's fake.

i was raised around guns.

i dont know about you, but ive never met anyone that loaded a clip and slapped it in while examining a gun with no intentions to fire it....but thats just me.

Agreed. if the guy knows for a fact that it's not loaded, then yeah, it can be a funny prank. If it was loaded, then she deserves a hole in whatever she was pointing at with that thing for having her finger on the trigger (because yeah, sometimes scary or surprising noises happen when you're holding a gun, that's why there's a safety switch). And he'd deserve a shot in the leg.

Also, that guy isn't getting sex for a month at least.

Every gun is always loaded all the time, period. I don't care if it's lying on a table in pieces, it's loaded.

If he got the pistol-whipping he deserved for that crap, he won't be doing much of -anything- for a month or so, until the casts and traction gear come off.

lotsofmagnets

alive and well by the look of this video. what the hell is she doing playing with a gun? it´s not a toy. they´re as stupid as each other.

ps i found the video funny

Fake, otherwise didn't she see the camera? After her man told her not to mess with the gun? The longer version shows him peeking out of the windows at his wife, then the camera is on the table in front of her, and he's behind her with firecrackers. Completely set up.

Since the thread has been revived I figure I'd reply to something I wanted to reply to months ago.

There are a million fucking things you can do in your life that are extremely dangerous one way and completely harmless another way. You light candles in your house even though you have a gas stove. You don't go around saying it doesn't matter if the gas tank is empty and the stove is turned off, there's still that possibility the fuckin house could blow up! At some point you just have accept that the risk of catastrophe is nil and therefore okay to joke about. Hell, This probably taught the woman a good lesson, Don't play with dangerous shit without supervision!
