7. what's funny is that he had a kid check the gun to make sure...
it wasn't loaded, then BANG! bet he was surprised.

I wonder if he said "f*ck or sh*t" in front of the kids.

10. "The gun is now unloaded."
(He didn't actually say that.) This remark was posted by another DUer on a duplicate thread, but I think it is worth repeating.

11. Ever here hear the story of Otto Von Bismark?
Herr Bismark, Chancelor of Prussia and later Germany made enemies... there was a assassination attempt, where he was shot twice (he lived). The weapon was taken from the assassin, and given to Chancelor Bismark...
some years later, Otto's son was showing the pistol off to friends... (This is the gun that the assassin used to shoot my father...) and BANG! it went off.
Years after that, Otto's GRANDSON was showing the pistol off, told the story about how his father was showing when it went off, and BANG! it went off AGAIN.
Otto's grandson unloaded the last two rounds immediately after that.
