For the love of almighty Chedburn, if you're using what appears to be a firearm in your Mr./Ms. Torn contest entry, KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE POINTING THE WEAPON DIRECTLY AT SOMEONE.

"But Andyman, it's a fake gun" - I don't see orange painted on the end of the barrel!

"But Andyman, the gun isn't loaded" - Is a judge going to believe that!?

"But Andyman, you have three grenades right in front of a baby in your entry" - Yeah, de-cored dummy practice grenades as indicated by the blue paint.

Get training before handling firearms please. Pointing a weapon at someone (including yourself) with your finger on the trigger = breaking rules #1 and #2 of handling weapons.

Neccessary rant over.

i thought the same thing Andy. everyone who owns a firearm should know this.

never point a gun at anyone or anything until you are ready to use it!!

never put your finger on the trigger unless you are ready for it to fire!!

yes they are probably cleared, yes the safety is likely on, yes its likely you made sure it was unloaded.

that doesnt change the 1st 2 rules of gun safety.

Praise this man. Many a foot saved thanks to him. Honestly tho, some statistics about self induced injuries using guns would help put things into perspective for some people. You never know if you might've forgot about a bullet already in the chamber.
Have a breathtaking day with a holeless body.

It drives me nuts when people don’t handle a weapon correctly in these photos.


But we see this post every year and nothing changes as they are allowed to continue to be posted.

Wish I followed this advice at the start. I was preparing for my entry about a month and a bit ago. Accidently f**king killed Proph.

What about the blade to the guy's throat? Where do we draw the line on our outrage?

Maybe we shouldn't worry so much about other people.
