OT - Has the world gotten more stupid lately?

_You_ can't, and not from Ace Hardware, but there are outfits that produce such devices to order, for specially approved customers.

He could easily have been shot by some idiotic hunter who mistook him for a deer after the accident.

Now that's stupid. Definitely.

Guy probably could have survived if they hadn't gutted him....

No more than squealing tires on dirt roads.... Ken.

No, it was always more stupid.

Didya catch what make/model? I've always wanted a double barrel 12ga pump....

Heck, that might make an interesting shop project now that I think about it... Anyone know of a brand of pump shotgun available in a right and left hand version?

Jon

Or he could have been shot by a rabid gun control fanatic.

Though if I was going to build a double barreled pump shotgun..Id mate a pair of Ithica Mod 37s or 87s, they eject from the bottom. Probably the Military and Police models. Just find a couple cop cars outside a donut shop..chances are good those are Ithicas in the rack...

These might tickle your fancy:

one is actually quite fun to shoot

Of course I actually prefer the Birdmans:

and of course for you Glock owners..da Birdman has the ultimate sight system Gunner

We can blame the media for making us more aware of it. Multi-million dollar box office hits "Dumb and Dumber" and "Dumb and Dumberer" + all the shitcoms on TV + look who's at the reins in D.C. (now and for the previous 8 years) are but a few examples.

(Where's my cave? I want to go hide some more.)

Note with which hand the donut is gripped, before acting. Rex in Fort Worth

I think the driver was so embarrassed at having wrecked his truck he committed suicide.

And we cannot forget pistols that shoot 68 times with a ten shot clip. OR 4 speed stick shift hot rod cars in the movies that just keep shifting and shifting and shifting and shifting ....................through about 11 gears.

Any idiot can count.

Well, most idiots, that is.

Suhweeeeeeet! (Jane's Defence doesn't give away those CDs. I was astounded at the prices: $1,370-$3,890 per disc. Are there cheap civilian versions at $20 anywhere?)

I sent email to him to see if they really are for sale. It's the perfect home defense gun with ammo right there on my shelves already! ;) Did you watch the Nuke50 video?

Homey don't play dat.

WAHAHAHA! Oh man, I'm dyin' over here!

I don't remembere the TV shows, but I was really surprised to see one in which the cop had a over and under shotgun. And a few days later I saw another show where the policeman had a double barrel shotgun.

A couple of years ago there was a commercial playing regularly on TV that pictures a guy standing in the road looking at steam coming out of the engine compartment of his car. The only problem was that car was a Porsche Speedster (or replica)... I think it was a commercial for a man's cologne. Maybe the ad agency figured that their target market was guys that wouldn't know the difference.

Peter

I don't know about double pumps, but the 1986 Gun Digest has a brief article, "The Burgess of Conyers", about a double, lever action, shotgun/rifle. Both sides are repeaters, the rifle chambered for .44-40 and the shotgun for "perhaps 16-gauge".

This is one of those advertisements that you wonder if the advertiser approved.

Announcer, "WELLBUTRIN XL is prescribed for the treatment of depression, but it is not for everyone. If you take WELLBUTRIN XL, there is a risk of seizure, which is increased in patients with certain medical problems or in patients taking certain medicines. Do not take if you have or had a seizure or eating disorder. Don't use if you take an MAOI, or any medicine that contains bupropion such as WELLBUTRIN SR or ZYBAN. You should not take WELLBUTRIN XL if you are abruptly stopping the use of alcohol or sedatives. When used with a nicotine patch or alone, there is a risk of increased blood pressure, sometimes severe. To reduce risk of serious side effects, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems. Other side effects may include weight loss, dry mouth, nausea, difficulty sleeping, dizziness, and sore throat."

Then our smiling model says, "Ah, back to my old self again!"

I would think if you had all those problems, depression would be preferable .

Having been on happy pills for a fraction under two years now I can verify that it is a case of "choose the side effects that you are prepared live with". I can pass for normal now, but I'd still rather defenestrate the couple of managers at work who caused the problems in the first place ;-|

My last sentence was insensitive. I apologize.

So would that mean that you'd have to fire both barrels in order not to eject unfired rounds, or is there a way to select a barrel to fire and reload? Sounds like a very interesting action for the sake of curiosity at least.
