Reporter Visits a Gun Range - Shoots an AR - What Happened Next ....

[Diamondback]

He should have shot a real "assault rifle" from WWII....

Better yet, see how much of a log a .600 Nitro Express would make this ladyboy drop in its frilly pink panties.

Then again, I can't shoulder an AK... but that may be a matter of technique and my pectoral muscle deficiency.

Op-Ed: I Tried Firing An AR-15 Yesterday And I Have Literally Been Soiling Myself For 17 Straight Hours

I had to chug a beer and then another to attempt to get my nerves 'settled' after reading this.....

I sincerely hope this guy was not serious as I cannot imagine anyone so painfully pathetic who would write something like that and present it as a 'real' experience.....

The only thing I think I ever read worse was about a family of three (if I recall) who had to 'barricade' themselves in a room of their house to escape their pet CAT that had gone 'wild' and was attacking them. (true story - out of Portland, OR)

On the flip side of the coin, I had the great pleasure to assist a young boy shoot my full auto M1A1 Thompson at the last Trash No Land event and the kid couldn't have been older then 8 yrs old.
He took that heavy Thompson and proceeded to circle cut a hole through center of the plywood target big enough to throw a beer can through it.
He then handled the suppressed SWD 11/nine like a pro and cut in half the 2x4 post holding up the target, unlike most folks who just let them rip, he sighted down the sights and aimed for effects.
His parents have done a good job in teaching him about following instructions about safely handling firearms.

And I bet you gave the lad a memory he'll treasure for the rest of his life.

not sure what scares me more, the power of an AR-15.. or the fact that this guy votes

I said screw it and sent him an email, maybe he'll come out and try my 300 weatherby. Let him learn about firepower and lethality from a different perspective.

Take him some depends if he agrees to shoot it.

Nope make him do the Walk of shame, you know the one where they just shat their drawers and walking back to the vehicle knowing that they will have to ride in the bed of the truck.

 

[Horatius]

I have a short eye relief scope I could put on my .44 Mag Contender for him to try

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Wonder what the reporter would make of shooting a original Springfield Musket , dated 1808...?

That was a satire article mocking the OP's article posted in #1.

Congratulations, article author, I've known preteen GIRLS around ranges that were tougher than you.

He'll have to adopt a more ethnic name like Ajeet M'drars.

Sometimes I wonder if the stories a written to profile people for both sides to build on what they believe. Its hard to understand how a man could be such a wuss for everyone to see but even more difficult for him to broadcast to the world he is a wuss.

Is it media manipulation to put out stories like this?

If a few rounds through an AR is such a traumatic experience, then pulling the trigger on a flintlock will "rock your world!"

 

[bolus]

What is with reporters filing claims for PTSD after firing a rifle?

"It felt like a meteor had struck the earth in front of me."

a little farther down....

"right now Seven Days is prioritizing the production of responsible journalism"

I would LOVE to see an article after he shot my M82A1 with 10 rounds of semi automatic .50bmg goodness. Could walk out of a shop with one same day
