Another sad tale of poor victim selection skills.

Anything worth shooting is worth shooting a lot. Thanks, Gun Bunny.

I think (therefore I am) another first for the 3″ three ring loose leaf binder of T2NB2AGF, a pellet gun to a gun fight.
Q: plastic pellets? Or metal BBs? Inquiring minds…..
Roswell. Who was the alien? The perp? Or the victims? Space? Or terrestrial?

And ‘Ed is right. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting multiple times. Just to be sure, ya know? “Don’t shoot until he’s dead, shoot until HE knows he’s dead”.
What a cute little pocket pistol.
I wonder if it could handle the modern 380ACP ammo?
Marvin sez…”My “Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator” not only makes an Earth shattering KA-BOOOM, it will also make pellets out of anything it shoots at.”
The best news is ChipNASA FINALLY saw one of the many replies posted to his question and now knows what “T2NB2AGF” means. Bless his heart.
Now don’t make fun of Chip just because he was ignorant. Ignorance can be educated.
Welcome to the club, Chip. Hopefully someday you’ll be able to make your own contribution to the 3″ three ring loose leaf binder of T2NB2AGF.
And someday I hope to have enough time to sit down and sift through all the back posts that are tagged, to print, collate, and put into that ever elusive 3″ binder. (should I put the pages into plastic protectors? Or leave as plain printed paper?)
As a young kid, I had a toy copy if that gun. It was a single shot spring action, firing a suction cup dart. It would also launch sharpened pencils across the room, sticking in cardboard box improvised targets. No orange. “Eldon” was the maker.
Glad the officers’ family is OK. He does need some more range time, but the adrenaline when your kids are in danger is hard to mimic on the range/during training, so I won’t ding him too bad on that.
AB Brother has a story about pellet guns and kids – he learned early that kids are stupid.
“…..kids are stupid.”
His own experience, or another child’s experience?
Inquiring minds…..
I don’t think I would let someone take my car with one of my grandkids in it. Got the drop on me or not. Some jackass with a gun, knife, or any weapon, is going to have to drag me out before they motor off with one of mine.
