    There was a young Hollywood actor about 10-15 yrs ago, that stupidly killed himself by putting a .357 blank revolver against his head & pulling the trigger.
    Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

    I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

    Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

      When I did CW reenacting at Ft Tejon we used to demonstrate the danger of our pistols and rifles with blanks by blowing up watermelons and cantelopes with our pistols at about 6" or so away.
      I'm only smiling at you while you talk to me because it's hilarious that you really think I give a crap about you.

      As I've gotten older I thought I was gaining patience, then I realized I simply don't give a crap.

          Yeah, actors mostly ain't that smart about guns---many guns used in movies now days are plastic replicas so as to not injure the overpaid lame folks.

              Actually, Brandon Lee was killed by a squib lodged in the barrel ahead of a blank. Jon-Erik Hexum was killed when he put a .44 Mag loaded with blanks to his head and pulled the trigger.

              I've never seen an American flag burned at a gun show.

                You're thinking perhaps of John Eric Hexum - he blew a .44 Magnum wad from a blank right through his brain.

                You do know there are more guns in the country than there are in the city.

                  I knew a kid growing up who was shot in the chest with a blank by his older brother while they were playing (awesome parenting btw ). I believe it was a .38, but really don't know. They flew him to a trauma center thinking it was a real round. He made it, but had a pretty nasty scar from it. Sort of looked like an extra navel.

                      Well considering the shape this country is ,,,, can't believe how many non thinkers there are.,,WHAT ARE THE BASIC GUN RULES??? I am sure one of them would eliminate any of these type of problems. Still the non thinkers are what worry me.

                          That's right guys, Jon-Erik Hexum was the actor. Young & dumb.
                          Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

                            not sure why you lumped teh two together, but... yes, dont **** around with blanks.

                            and cut shells are neato, good to know during the impending SHTFocalypse.
