Boy's Life once said that Toyota's drive trains were bulletproof...

So my brother-in-law gets in my truck this weekend to check out some stereo work. He pulls out a 45 he recently purchased. He's pretty apt when it comes to guns (former military) and I was raised to respect guns above all else.

Somehow the pistol went off...don't know how as I was not holding it and it shot into my center console, through the sheet metal tunnel that travels above the tranny and differential. So far no parts are bothered; nothing visual; no leaks; no noises. I even have the bullet. All damage seems to be just cosmetic.

Not to make light of this as it could have been deadly. I proved that, as Boy's Life put it, "Toyota Drivetrains are Bullet Proof."

 

your brother in law is a fucking tard.

 

I predict lots of people getting on their soap boxes and high horses.

Glad you're safe!

 

Thats scary i'm glad your okay!

Also cool that nothing happened to the trans lol

 

LIES

 

Nice first post too, glad everyone is ok and I x2 the 2nd post... ur brother-in-law is an idiot.

As retarded as it sounds I have seen this happen with other military guys who were "proficient" with firearms. Most people are stupid when it comes to this. Glad you are ok though. Def post up some pictures of this.

 

overconfidence.

 

yea, pix of your brother in/outlaw, the said firearm, bullet holes..... lot of Tacomas shot lately.

oh yea, hot female relative pix go far here too. hehe

Just plain fucking stupid. Unload the firearm before you start moving it around other than down range.

 

^^^^ this. former military should know to always leave the safety on until he is ready to shoot.

 

Your brother in law is a bloody moron.

 

First post and its that? Anyways glad no one was hurt other than pride.

 

1. Treat every weapon as if it were loaded
2. Never point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot
4. Keep the weapon on safe until you are ready to fire
5. Know your target and what lies beyond.

 

Overconfidence doesn't just happen with guys like that.

Take it as a chance to reflect upon safety. No no I know you're already the safest most perfect dude out there already, I get it. (not you team america -- just this thread in general)
