What was, oh never mind.
Hey, you know that myth busters video? That’s a three screw Ruger. No slide bar. I’m thinking it would go off anyway but why not use the latest “safe weapon”. And damn them for getting a bitchen weapon that hot.
My sister’s Turkey had a little red plastic thingy that popped up when the bird was done.
A lot safer and quieter.
A gun in the oven beats a bun in the oven I suppose…
Thinking that storing your handgun in the oven isn’t just a brain fart, it’s explosive brain diarrhea.
Don’t you guys keep your guns in the oven? That’s one place a thief wouldn’t think to look.
Well, that’s just silly. I keep mine in the Microwave! Bwwwaaaaaaahahahahahaha
I bet his woman keeps her gun next to her blowdryer.
An idiot’s best keep secret, now available to other idiots to try. God help innocent bystanders, though. Inadvertently, giving cops another place to look for guns “on the regular.” That’s the good news.
Multiple rounds?
It didn’t say what type of handgun.
If it was a revolver multiple rounds firing from within the cylinder wouldn’t do much damage other than to the gun itself.
If it was a semi-auto pistol and the chambered round fired first it could keep rechambering rounds.
If heat was the cause the chance of a rapid fire is pretty slim.
MJA, now that’s funny!
