This is one of the funniest Youtube videos I have seen in a while.
Man, that one is funny. I’m still laughing. Tears running down my cheeks. LOLOL
O my, O my, O my.

Funnay, but I hope he locked up all his guns before he went to sleep.
You mean before he went to sleep on the sofa by himself?
While I admit I laughed at that prank, I have to say that any practical jokes involving guns are very dangerous.
My bad, my bad.
Now thats funny rite there… hahaha… I lafted so hard i allmost peed myself… hahaha…
I think he’s still on the couch and I noticed the way his spou-z handled the gun…it’s probably hers now.
Hmmm. He showed her how to handle a gun? Her trigger finger is not safe, and that’s a 1911 with probably less than a 4 lb trigger pull.
This is an old one, and, as a hunter safety instructor, NOT a very good way to teach anything.
Wouldn’t you?
I can usually spot something that was ‘set up’ and I think that one was a set up piece.
I think that it was staged too. As a firearms instructor it would be cute to use in class. Like someone else mentioned if that gun was Really loaded that prank could get you, your spouse, one of your family members or the neighbor shot. A 45 makes a BIG HOLE.

Like that man’s reflexes? Sometimes, jokes don’t turn out too well for those who play practical jokes. By the way, I want that guy walking with me down a dark alley, he was fast.
I am not and have never been a firearms instructor, but I have been handling guns for over 50 years. She was being very unsafe with her finger on the trigger, he probably thought he had left her in a safe situation with an unloaded gun. Unloaded guns are one of the most items in the work.
The way she jumped and her you’re a A**hole, she was either surprised or applying for a job in the current administration.
I remember my Dad telling me when he went through basic in WWII, on the grenade range the instructor dropped a grenade with the pin pulled at the same time someone threw a large fireworks under the bleachers they were sitting on. The last time he mentioned that I seem to remember him questioning the instructor’s ancestory.
I laughed myself silly the first couple of times I watched that video but as I continued to watch it, the situation looked more and more staged. I pretty sure it was set up. 8T
I still think that it was stagged to a certain extent without the woman knowing about the firecrackers. She did turn inside out when they went off, but the camera angles and commentary are set up for male fantasy about getting back at your wife for not listening to you.
Personally, don’t know many women who would touch a gun like that. Most know they are dangerous and most people that get introduced to firearms that know nothing about them, their first reaction is to not touch it.
I have a real problem with people that pull this type of tomfoolery around firearms. My dad will be 78 in December. Just after W.W.II he was involved in a hunting accident. He was still a teenager at the time. He was hunting and dropped his single shot shotgun. He made a grab for the firearm with his left hand, got a hold of the muzzle and at that instant the shotgun discharged even though it wasn’t ready to fire. The thumb, forefinger and part of the palm were blown off of his left hand. His hunting partner stopped the bleeding, got him to the nearest farm house and they rushed him to the hospital. The surgeon that saved the rest of his hand and fingers had just left the Army in Europe. He had learned how to save limbs in the war.
To this day my father loves to hunt and shoot. We were raised to never goof off around firearms. We weren’t even allowed to point toy guns at each other during our childhood. I had a beautiful Red Ryder BB Gun smashed against a tree because I shot my older brother in the butt with it. Yeah it was at long range so it only stung him and yeah he was being a smart a#$ but dad didn’t want to hear that. First the rifle got smashed and then I got my own butt tanned really good.
I respect the way we were raised and it served me well when I entered the U.S. Army. All of you that are Vets know that around firearms in the military it is all business. Stow that B.S. is what the Cadre used to tell us.
I think what this guy did is boorish and if she was involved in staging it then shame on her too.
All I can say is he’s got to sleep sometime, and I bet there’s still sharp knives in the house…
And NO, I’m NOT an ole stick in the mud BUT, I found NOTHING funny in that piece. Staged or not, STUPID. I’m kinda sorry my viewing was added as a “click” to the numbers.

I tend to agree with Nighthawk on this one. There is nothing funny about joking around with firearms.
I know the military puts great emphasis on weapons safety but I have to say after taking my son and a fellow Marine duck hunting that Grunts look at weapons as tools to get to a desired end. In the case of the ducks; lightly smoked & roasted duck breast for the evening dinner. In other cases the elimination of one’s enemies but at all times the gun is merely a tool to get the job done in an efficient manner. This was a view of guns I hadn’t seen before. When one of the shot guns we were using to do some practice jammed, it was immediately discarded and a demand for a weapon that worked properly was barked out by my son, a sargent and squad leader, in true Marine fashion with expletives. Amazing.
