I was checking a group of rifles and shotguns from a local estate sale and one shotgun had a loaded chamber and more in the magazine.
I cycled them out and the sales rep said "that must have been the Old Guy's home defense gun".
Check every gun you handle!
Was at the range over the weekend. Loading mags and keepin my boys ( well men, but still my boys) running
Handed my youngest a 19 that I'd chambered a round in, he eased the slide back to take a peek. In auto dad mode I started to correct him as I was concerned he'd jack the live round out in the snow.
He never missed a beat, just yelled back at me "you taught us to never take anyone's word about loaded or unloaded to always inspect for ourselves"
I just grinned, stfu and went back to loading mags
Damn me if I don't love those guys
