Some people should not own guns!!

[Guest REDDOG79]

Last weekend was the 411 yard sale weekend. My family and I looked at a few yard sales and at one was a SKS for sale with some aftermarket stocks etc on it. It had a 30 rd detachable magazine and I picked it up to handle it. The thought went through my head to not check the action as I figured it being for sale and being handled by prospective customers that it would be unloaded.

Imagine my surprise when I pulled the bolt back to see brass gleaming in the chamber. I took the magazine out and it was loaded with Hollow points and proceeded to empty the chamber. I told the man at the table that his weapon had been loiaded and he replied "The magazine was loaded but not the chamber" I replied "It was loaded and here is your magazine and bullet that was in the chamber." What IDIOT leaves a loaded gun on a table for people to handle. The moron was even standing in front of the muzzle of the gun. Any child could have reached the trigger and caused a serious incident.

Um. Wow.

Probably one that shouldn't be voting either.

Lucky that this wasn't on the 6:oo news.

Amen

That 762 may fix his stupidity permanently if somebody pulled that trigger. But the real question is did you buy it?

[Guest REDDOG79]

Nah didn't buy it. Already have a Norinco I never shoot and his price was too much for me at 350$.

Well, you can; but it's usually illegal and morally reprehensible.

[vontar]

another reason to always check any firearm when you pick one up.

First things I always do.

[JReedEsq]

Good thing you came by and unloaded it.

[Guest clownsdd]

Hope he got rid of it.

[D3vo]

Did he offer you a deal on the rifle? After all you spared him from, at the very least, a really bad day.

"The mag was loaded, but there wasn't one in the chamber."

Ok....who in their right mind would even put a loaded mag in a gun for random people to look at? All it takes is one kid that thinks he knows everything about guns to pick it up and chamber a round unknowingly when he is pretending to be rambo. It is dumb luck someone hadn't pulled the trigger yet.

[vontar]

I think it should be come a rule that when someone picks up what is suppose to be an unloaded gun like that and finds one in the chamber it (and Mag) the ammo becomes the finders. Kind of a finders fee for a safety check. This happens far to often.

Serious if someoen hands me a gun and tell me it is unloaded and I find a ammo I am going to joke and say I should get to keep this since it wasn't in it right?
