My father, an NRA ~~member~~ sucker that claims gun safety first, leaves a 12g fully loaded (buckshot) with one in the chamber and safety off in a soft bag with the zipper open right under him while he sleeps. He also has Parkinsons.

You're giving these people way too much credit by presuming they do any form of critical thinking.

He also has Parkinsons.

Yea... that's the scariest, darkest part of it. He's also the guy standing next to you in the grocery store line proudly displaying his Glock on his hip. No idea how he carries that (i.e., chambered, hammer cocked, safety on? no clue). Imagine if something went down that actually warranted the use of the pistol while you're standing in line...

You mean its not clipped into a swivel bracket on the underside of the slats for when your new partner escapes having his brains blown out in a bathtub?!

How will we know whether he's surgical with that bitch, Jake?!
