    In this case, I call :bs:, but it does bring to mind a story.

    Forty some odd years ago, a few friends and I traveled to Corbin county Kentucky for the long Thanksgiving holiday.
    We went to stay with a friends uncle, WAAAAYYY back up in the hills.

    Uncle Cletus, (can't remember for sure, but that's not far off) dragged out some P.O.S. revolver.
    It was a single-action 6 shot .22lr with about a 4" barrel. Didn't bother to look at the name.

    Uncle Cletus fired a couple of rounds, then one of my friends took a turn, then it was handed to me.
    I pulled the hammer to the cocked position and had just STARTED to look for a sight picture. (I know, I know, should have had that first. I said 40 some years ago)

    Well, as you can imagine, that thing went off long before I was ready for it.
    One shot was all it took, and I handed it back to the owner.
    I told him I thought it was an unsafe firearm, and everybody laughed.

    That was by far the hairiest "hair-trigger" I've experienced, and I don't want to shoot another like that again.

    Just like INGO jumping to conclusions before we know the facts!

    What was she wearing?
    I say it was a jacket made out of fingers?
