And if someone is dumb enough to emulate a movie poster while brandishing a deadly weapon, that person deserves what he gets.

Wouldent you rather see a guy going flying than to see him just fall over from a shot i mean seriously movies would be no fun. I just think in movies its ok to over use. <br /><br />But there are the movies that go way to far with it.scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316162531435376387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244429840819942033.post-78941349565775841972011-02-07T05:44:17.166-08:002011-02-07T05:44:17.166-08:00@Pat, Yeah, in movies and video games, the almight...@Pat, Yeah, in movies and video games, the almighty shotgun usually packs an unrealistic amount of punch.<br /><br />I watched a video (can't find it now) where a manufacturer of ballistic vests was demonstrating their heavy duty model that stops rifle bullets (which go right through regular body armor police wear). He was shot at about point blank range with a 308 and barely rocked back on his heels.<br /><br />...Orygunner...Orygunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829265216321634830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244429840819942033.post-47163413891440330542011-02-06T10:39:06.833-08:002011-02-06T10:39:06.833-08:00Its funny - in movies I always laugh when the acti...Its funny - in movies I always laugh when the action hero has his finger indexed along the trigger during a time of action.<br /><br />That, the infinite shooting revolver, and the shotgun that blows a bad guy into the next county are things that make me shake my head in the movies.Pathttp://www.mnguntalk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244429840819942033.post-78201364348364636912011-02-05T09:22:31.770-08:002011-02-05T09:22:31.770-08:00I agree.

Probably an attempt at bringing in more movie veiwers.<br /><br />And as for more training at a young age, again, agreed. Like my cousin(above), we have put some hours with my uncle in learning how to safely handle a weapon, and to shoot it.<br /><br /> Most "rules" for more safe gun use, are common sense. You know it is Funk. EX: "Keep your booger hook off the bang switch!" [funny, but] common sense. Unless I wanted to shoot your offspring. :)Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244429840819942033.post-33675383082103217412011-02-04T18:28:33.497-08:002011-02-04T18:28:33.497-08:00Well, Moore does look like he is about to perforat...Well, Moore <em>does</em> look like he is about to perforate the cameraman, so he might be about to use it after all... ;) <br /><br />Unfortunately, all of this comes back to basic instincts - we, being monkeys with opposable thumbs, like to grasp the crap out of things, and when we pick up something with a natural grip, we go all-out on it. However, this dovetails perfectly with your previous post - in order to get people out of that instictive habit, we need to train them in <em>safe</em> habits early!Linogehttp://www.wallsofthecity.netnoreply@blogger.com
