Channel 4 ran a videotape of an armed robbery tonight.
The one with the gun is 15 years old (he's already been taken into custody by the MPD.)
He uses the "Hollywood Horizontal" weapon-holding technique, which is guaranteed to miss a moose at 3 yards.
But even stupider: the thumb of his hand was wrapped around the rear of the slide of his semi-auto. If he'd pulled the trigger, the dumbass would have lost his thumb in a can of birdseed somewhere in that store.
It would have been fun to watch--except some poor clerk in that store might have been hurt, I suppose.
Dad, it was brought to my attention that I may have come close to offending you recently.

If you have a moment, could you provide me your e-mail, so I can explain a bit more?
Thanks,
Gus.
I did that as a kid. Wrapped my hands around a Beretta 92 9mm with my thumb "back there" at the point where the backstrap and slide meet.
ReplyDeleteWow, does that peel skin off. But, a valuable lesson learned. Now, when I try to knock off a gas station, I won't leave a large swatch of DNA on the shelf behind me. :)
Gus--I don't know of anything like that.
