Lots of well-meaning people have guns that they just don't know anything about.
True story of a man who flew for a missionary organization in Africa for most of his adult life. He had a "gun" in the plane "just in case." When he retired he planned to dispose of the gun but thought he should at least shoot it once. Yes, for years he had a "just in case" gun that he had never shot. Turns out that the gun was a small 22 cal revolver and the only ammo he had for it were shorts. Really. Anyway he loaded the gun for the first time, took aim at a stump, and . . . nothing. The humidity over the years had ruined the ammo. Whole box of duds.
And I mean no disrespect to the man. He lead a life of true service to humanity. Just never had been taught anything about guns.
Got any stories to share?
Life is good.
