Funny story about today.

[wakefield724]

A little bit ago my work had a firearm practice. Basically we fire 10ft 25ft, 3ft, and go home. During that practice we unload our weapon to make them safe again. Apparently some people don't understand how to do this.

Shooting coach " Unload you weapons"
I release my mag and rack my slide making the weapon unloaded.
Guy beside me racks his slide and releases his mag.
Me "Ron your gun is still loaded, there's one in the chamber"
Ron "What are you talking about I already unloaded it"
Me " no you loaded it then you dropped your mag"
Ron " WHAT?!?!? What the hell are you talking about"
Shooting coach " what's the issue here?"
Me "Ron didn't unload his gun there is a round in the chamber"
Shooting coach "Ron I told you to unload your gun, please do so now"
Ron puts his mag back in, racks the slide where a shell was ejected then releases his mag.
Shooting coach "you just reloaded your weapon there is one in the chamber"
Ron" I just unloaded it!!"
Shooting coach " aim down range and dry fire at the target"
Ron aims down range, pulls the trigger and POW gun goes off. He stood there with his mouth wide open in amazement. Was so confused how his gun was loaded.

.....and some people wonder why other people shouldn't play with guns....

Ron aspires to work for the DEA.

Ron has no mental mechanical imaging of what is happening. There are people like that. They can't help it, their brain is just not wired that way. This is the reason some things are taught by rote. Problem with learning by rote is it may not cause the additional wiring to occur.

Give Ron a revolver.....and a new brain.

I'm battling people with this condition every dam day, not just firearms. I want to know what everyone else thinks. Are they stupid and or mildly retarded or is there some other explanation?

Ron is an idiot.

I know Ron! He was a female Army nurse (LTC) in a previous life. The story goes like this....

There I was. I never thought it would happen to me. (You guys like how this is starting off don't you?) Unfortunately this is not a Penthouse Letters story. Anyway, while waiting my turn at the clearing barrel one evening in Baghdad I found myself behind this nurse. She pointed her M9 at the clearing pit and gun went bang. She looks at it and does it twice more before one of the contract security guards took it from her. I didn't say a word as I was waiting to see how many rounds it takes to kill a sand bag.

When she was counseled over the incident by the security director she threatened to file an IG complaint claiming she was intentionally provided a defective weapon. Some people just aren't meant to be allowed off the FOB.
