⌛ Trigger happy ???

Reported in the UK press 02 November 2010.

"A night watchman in Cebu shot dead what he believed to be a masked gunman - only to find that the "masked gunman" was in fact an actor in a scene being filmed for a movie. Eddie Culzon, aged 52, mistook the pillion passenger on the bike for one of the motorcycle assassins currently operating in Cebu. The victim was 32 year old Kirk Abella who was filming a scene for the movie Going Somewhere. Culzon has been charged with homicide and violation of a gun ban".

Bearing in mind what happened to the Reverend, can any of these guys be trusted with a weapon.??

 

Being British!

:( Like you Broadside, being British I never grew up with armed police or Weapon presence, Even with 20+ years military service I have a great fear of guns, I do not trust ANYONE with a Gun. Look at the Ex-US serviceman shot out side Noeco2 by and ex-policeman just for bumping into him. Guns for me? A big NO NO. Your thread header is so true, " Trigger Happy"

No, they cannot be trusted, thats why they have to put Gun bans in place ..

Only upside to it is that probably a lot of the guns would not work or they do not have ammo, or the ammo is half loads

Years ago, I knew a guy who got shout by a 45, four times, in the chest, he lived simply because they used half loads to save money!

 

Those that shoot and run away, live to shoot another day.

(old military saying :-)

 

I think I'll stay out of this conversation. I'm from Texas and we do things a little different there.

 

Ready, Fire, Aim
