Thread: How Fucking stupid are some people

Hunting accident

Idiots like this give us a bad name that we already have here in Aus. By the time I was 5 years old I learnt that you don't have a loaded gun unless you're about to shoot something. God these idiots make me so angry - everyone has to suffer for morons mistakes.

Yep BH, theres plenty of them out there.......

That is a shocker all right. Just dumb as a dumb thing on the dumbest day.

Yip Idiot, I think they were so dumb that even if the gun wasnt loaded he would have loaded it and shot his mate somehow anyway!
Grade A Spacehead!!!!!!

You'd be surprised how often that exact thing happens here, Dads mate got killed by that exact thing about 7 or 8 years ago. His son who was in his 30's threw a loaded gun on the back seat while the old bloke was standing on the other side and it went off and dead.

Thats not cool man sorry for your Dad.

But even the reporter may be lacking something too...

This is the last sentence...

Some hunters also remove the bolt, while others close the bolt and, with the rifle pointing in a safe direction, pull the trigger as a guarantee that it will not be put away in a potentially dangerous condition.

I do that though Gibo,
If you have an empty breach which I double check with my finger, I hold my finger on the trigger and slowly put the bolt down and it de-cocks the firing pin. I find it the safest way to do things. me and the brother never fuck around though its habit to make sure they are empty but I think as long as you treat every firearm as loaded your not too bad.

Yip I do that too, not pulling the trigger when closed to check though, bit different in my eyes. May one day have one up the spout and boomfa!

Why is it so hard to just leave the fucking bolt open???

Because why cant you just close it? Its not hard to check the chamber close the bolt pulling the trigger to decock it. I like it like that because the bolts with the gun and nothing gets inside

How can he shot his mate with the bolt open WH???

Kinda what toby said but also I've found it only takes a small knock to push a bolt forward and I've even completely chambered a round in by accidently knocking it. It's obviously still a very safe way to do things though.

Separate topic really but how do people hunt? If I'm bush hunting by myself I have a round chambered and the bolt down to the first stage, If I'm with someone or glassing/long range hunting I do what I mentioned earlier. Detachable mags are good for it. I just release the firing pin before I put the mag in the gun and I'm happy its safe for me

I had a shocker and mis timed it completely. The stags on my place have been going off for the last six weeks (and still are). I went bush for 6 days across Easter and never heard a peep. Went back in two weeks later and still it was silent. A mate at work has suggested I just go home and shoot one.
