Acronyms that a gun owner must remember

ACTS and how it leads to PROVE. THE VITAL FOUR ACTS OF FIREARMS SAFETY * Assume every firearm is loaded. * Control the muzzle direction at all times. * Trigger finger must be kept off the trigger and out of the trigger guard. * See that the firearm is unloaded – PROVE it safe. PROVE * Point the firearm in the safest available direction. * Remove all cartridges. * Observe the chamber. * Verify the feeding path. * Examine the bore. And finally never ignore the manual - not in this case. :)
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick
Ah the memories... I was at a range (Lydd in Kent if memory serves) and was firing an SMG (one of these[^]), and inadvertantly put it to Automatic instead of Rounds. Wasted a magazine of 30 rounds in seconds and got a punch in the face for my trouble. Worth it though!

And if you ever need to BLAST someone*... * Bait them into starting a fight with you * Lead them to an out-of-the-way place, with no witnesses * Ask them if they're feeling lucky (This is the most important part!) * Shoot them at least five times, then once more for good luck * Tell the cops it was self defense Stay tuned for more acronyms to help you survive the inevitable TRIAL, followed by an X-rated acronym tutorial on how to survive in PRISON. * I am not a lawyer, and this is in no way meant to be considered legal advice... Or any kind of advice... Seriously, what's wrong with you?
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

Ah the memories... I was at a range (Lydd in Kent if memory serves) and was firing an SMG (one of these[^]), and inadvertantly put it to Automatic instead of Rounds. Wasted a magazine of 30 rounds in seconds and got a punch in the face for my trouble. Worth it though!

My wife & I are watching the entire Fourth Doctor, from regeneration to regeneration. Although I always remember Leela's words of wisdom, if recently implies within the last couple of months, then recently it is. "Put him to the torture." - Leela in 'Talon's of Weng Chiang' (My favorite)

or you could, ya know, just not buy a gun, but that would be too smart for you 'americans' rite? :D

"or you could, ya know, just" check before you open your big keyboard, and discover that Abhinav (an Indian name, so there's a clue) is Indian, not American. Further research would have found that India has reasonably stringent gun law. Even further research might have led you to discover your shift key, and a spelling checker...
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Digital man: "You are, in short, an idiot with the IQ of an ant and the intellectual capacity of a hose pipe."

Going off topic a bit (hey - it's the lounge). The most recent Xmas special - flying fish and soppy stereotypical sentimentality - arguably the worst episode I've ever seen. How'd it go down in UK ?

"You put 15 rounds into the man you said tried to attack you and insist it was a tragic accident. Explain!" "It was a tragedy, I forgot my spare magazines at home and ran out of bullets."
3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18
Probably was accidentally left on full automatic. No big deal. (after the first 5 or 10 rounds, it stops hurting)

I hope so. It was so cool that these guys[^] used them. Just remove the magazine and stick a few bits of plastic on them et voilà, futuristic space gun.
