Shooting Mishaps: First Time Shooter Fails [VIDEO]

Tragically, many Americans never get the opportunity to learn to shoot and that is just plain wrong. Introducing new shooters to the wonderful world of marksmanship is of paramount importance for any firearms enthusiast.  The future sanctity of the 2nd Amendment (among other things) depends on it.

On the one hand, the person guiding this camera had to get dangerously close to a massive rattlesnake den. On the other hand, that’s not the smartest idea in the world…. and neither is dangling a hastily security camera into a pit of hostile […]
