Want to make a "firing range" pun, but nothing's coming to me...leaving this as a placeholder in case inspiration strikes later.
Good move. The last thing you want to do is post a half-baked pun.
Something about packing heat, too.

Who knew? Them damn guns need a warning that says "Do not store in or near excessive heat, fire or flame"...
🤦♂️
A quick image search finds this warning label on ammunition saying to store it in a cool, dry place.

pffftt guns can never be the problem, we need to add the safety label to the ovens!
No one ever thought of making such a warning because nobody thought anyone would be this stupid!
I've literally seen pocket lighters that had a warning that said "Do not use near fire or flame", coming from a device literally designed to generate fire! 😂
People have already proven themselves excessively stupid, I don't see why guns aren't required to have a lengthy safety warning literally etched into the metal by now. 🤷♂️
As Dave Barry famously observed, the box a Water Pik comes in bears the warning, "Do not use while sleeping."
Guns already have lengthy safety warnings etched into them. Unfortunately, there definitely isn't enough space to describe every moronic thing people could do with them.

Just baking up some hot cross guns.
This should not have made me laugh out loud, but it did!
(I don't have time to make an image right now, but anyway)
Hey America, how you doing?
Don't keep your gun in the oven.
Oh.
Constantly shocked by people that don't open the oven door at look every time prior to preheating the oven.
How else will you find:
- no pilot light
- a blanket
- cast iron cookware cooling
- loaded guns
- forgotten food
Look in the oven people! It takes 1 second.
Edit: I am amazed how many people don't look in the oven before turning it on.
I do not understand ever storing anything in the oven, its a cooking tool not a storage tool.
I will agree if you have a gas stove that checking the pilot light is a good idea, but those are becoming less common as we are discovering just how bad they are for your health - that, and induction is amazing for anything that doesn't require an open flame (and that's what bbqs are for!).
we are discovering just how bad they are for your health
It turns out that burning a highly flammable carcinogen in your living environment isn't the best idea.

Because normal people don't put random shit in their oven to check for?

Why would you expect anything to be in the oven? Maybe the cast iron is the exception but only because it can take the heat
Fun fact: Some ovens have a storage drawer at the bottom (drawer under main door.) Some ovens have a broiler at the bottom (drawer under main door. Maybe only gas ovens, maybe not.)
And some call that storage a “warming drawer”.
Hopefully you know what you have, plus why would you put anything in storage at someone’s house, if not the place it came from?
I keep my fireworks in the warming drawer.

I'm reminded of a joke from Burn Notice where Michael has kept a folder of critically important blackmail files in his mother's oven for several seasons. He just casually points out she never actually cooks anything herself.
Thinking that's a good idea, and remembering to do it, are two different things.
Also there could be a cat in the oven, or in America, a cat with a gun.

Mythbusters S05E16. Loose bullets fire off but do not have energy to pierce the metal. A gun will fire a lethal bullet

Amazed to see this. New old house. Used oven for first time. Some sort of stench and black gunk dripping from top heat shield. Gas stove. Investigate. Pull out pieces of a gun. Glock or something. Previous owner stops by for mail (unusual situation). I had over the melted pieces, "you forget something in the oven?" "Oh shit. No problem, I can fix it." "uh.. Okaaaaay... "
He can 3D print or just but a new frame. The metal parts will be fine.
Maybe he meant he could fix the oven. Which he could ... by moving.

wait... when you say "fired" do we mean, chambered, and fired down the barrel, cleared, and then cycled fully, repeating, or do we mean the rounds just popped off in the stack, not in the chamber.
Possible with a semi auto, since the chamber and barrel would transmit heat better to a chambered round then the magazine and all the safety parts don't really assume cook off. Yeah a round fires, slide racks back and loads next round, next round cooks off, over and over until all rounds are the same temp.
Spooky stuff.

I mean to be fair who likes to eat cold lead
Uhhhh, also don't store loaded guns? Like, at all. Anywhere.
This is the part that's boggling my mind.
- Stored guns in an oven.
- Stored guns loaded.
But not content to stop there:
- Stored loaded guns, inside an oven.
On one hand, it's stupid as hell to store a firearm anywhere but in a safe/cabinet designed for them. An oven is another level of stupid
On the other, I used to store our cast iron Dutch oven in the oven and I can't tell you how many times I started preheating the oven and then remembered to take it out. Usually after its oil seasoning started to heat up
I worry about the people who need to be told things like this. How did they survive childhood without signs warning them not to breathe water or drink the contents of thermometers?

This headline is AGAINST THE SECOND AMENDMENT! Not Be Infringed MEANS NOT BE INFRINGED! I can Store my Gun WHEREVER I want!
Your oven is a machine gun now, to go with your shoelace.
