    Maybe you did and have no memory of it from the head trauma. Although, unless a guy starts physically touching me, it's generally viewed as a "party foul" to mess up a guy who can't really fight back. Especiallyif you could easily throw him out the door into the street. It kinda messes with the general happy energy in a room. That being said, you got lucky. Next time just tell them that they don't look all that hard and smash your pint glass on the floor. I guarantee that they will respect you and consider you one of their own.

    Because any time someone says something is fake on Reddit the seething masses come out of the woodwork to downvote them and anybody who supports their “crackpot denier theories.” They equate saying a video is faked (or staged to make a point, or an actor portrayal or whatever) as tantamount to being a vaccine denier or a flat Earther.

    Had a buddy who served over in Afghanistan who was helping train some troops. He said the amount of them that tried to shoot a M-16 or a AK-47 like an RPG was hilariously high. They would but the butt of the gun on their shoulders and then try and pull the trigger.

    parent
    5 points MisterDonkey

    I've seen quite a few inexperienced shooters go right for this posture. I think there's something natural feeling about holding a rifle this way. Maybe that it brings the sights to eye level without wrenching the neck, which is also something inexperienced shooters tend to do. 

    I demonstrate posture as I take aim and use similes to explain my stance, but still have to physically correct people when they take hold of the weapon like I'm acting out the pottery scene in Ghost.

    At some point, though, I just have to let them pull the trigger and feel for themselves why I'm right and they're wrong. Usually adults in that case. Adults don't listen.

He seems to be doing this. 3. Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger until You are Ready to Shoot. He seems to be doing this. 4. Always Be Sure of Your Target and What’s Beyond It. He seems to be doing this.
