What is the stupidest thing for sale at Walmart

How about barrel protector that goes on your boot. It looks like a round fob that laces into your boot laces, so that you have a place to rest the barrel! This just has bad idea written all over it

Jeez. Yes let's make and sell a device specifically intended to encourage people to violate the 4 rules.

Many many trap and a skeet shooters use these, myself included. There is zero danger in placing the barrel of an open over/under on your toe to keep it out of the dirt.


The problem is when the semi-auto guys try to mimic the practice.

Then you get this:

That sounds like a terrible idea. The linked one says it's for an unloaded gun...

 

[thunderchicken]

It is for an unloaded gun...an unloaded and opened over/under, single shot or SxS...not intended for semi auto or pump. One of those items you need to be smarter than the piece of leather it's made from to operate

In answer to the OP's question, it's a book. I think it was called "The coming war with China".

As to the link, two things.
First, Ewwww.
Second, Owwww!!!

I have one of those shoe protectors. I ONLY use it with a break open shotgun when it is broken open, and you can physically see down the barrel set. I would not use it any other way.

At some of the big shoots, there are people with golf carts riding around. Some have their guns on a rack behind them sort of like a shotgun rack. I don't even like them driving by me with the barrel pointed to the side.

Okay, I've never heard of resting the barrel of your shotgun on your foot. I have to ask... Why?? They're not that heavy, and for me it seems like it would be really awkward...

Weight, I suppose, is a relative thing. I shoot an over and under shotgun that weighs in excess of 10 lbs. When I shoot registered trap or skeet the events are 100 birds (rounds).

Holding a 10 + lb gun for the duration of an event is tiring.

Also at competitions after a shooter has finished a match they often socialize while the next group shoots and it can provide a handy place to rest the weight of the gun. Dome people don't want to put their expensive shotguns in a rack and walk away. I recall back in the 90's seeing guys shoot $10k Perazzi's so you can probably understand

 

[CountryBoy19]

Pretty easy to tell who has done a great deal of shotgun shooting and who has not...

Waiting for Kirk to come along and call everybody a stupid redneck or something like that just to prove his superiority...
