I don't think mine would be as effective:

If you point that thing at me, I'll mess my drawers.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who would duck first and admonish later. All of you with your gun grabbing and barrel hitting... :what:
Putting monkey-ammunition in your pants does not stop a gun from being pointed at you. Moving, either yourself or the barrel, does.

:D

The first shop I ever bought a gun from - Jo Jo's Gun and Pawn - in Birmingham, Alabama, is a shop I will never, ever go into again.

One of the customers there asked if she could see the CLERKS personal sidearm. Stupid.

Then the clerk ACTUALLY unholsters the gun. Stupid.

Starts to hand it to her, BARREL FIRST.

Gun goes off and KILLS HER on the spot. She had two kids.

When I'm in a gun store now, I don't hesitate to tell anyone to not point that thing at me you *&%#^SS.
Similar details, but decidedly different flavor to the story.

My Dad: "Never, ever, EVER point a gun at ANYONE.

If you find you DO have to , don't miss."

Created a smoking crater about 6" in front of my foot once while quail hunting.
Tripped on a stump on the covey rise. Obviously, my finger was on the trigger before the gun was shouldered. That was a mistake I hope and work toward never making again. Took me half an hour to calm down.:banghead:
