Stumbled across this article (thanks Bill!) that attempts to make light-hearted fun of gun enthusiasts in Virginia while also in the process of discrediting anti-crime groups.
Let’s be honest, all these gun laws are pretty much bullshit. I shouldn’t be able to carry around a handgun any more than I should be able to carry around a bottle of cyanide. Guns are for killing, everyone knows that. Protection, my ass.
It takes place at the Blueridge Arsenal, a local gun shop and gun range in Chantilly, VA. Note that the photographer did an amazing job as anyone who has ever been inside the BRA building could tell you.
Although I enjoyed the pictures and some of the funny-making, the original author and his friends should take note that guns really are a serious business. There are safety rules in place and guidance on types of clothing to wear. This is all in the interest of your safety and the safety of others around you when handling firearms.
In the end, I couldn’t help but imagine this article was going to end in a disaster. Gather high heels, a loaded gun, a liberal scattering of empty casings on the floor. Toss in a muzzle flash or two, and a finger on the trigger. Lastly mix it all together with a small misstep while cavorting together for a group picture and voila! A negligent discharge and a wounded person or two.
P.S. I love the zombie targets also.
