Unfortunately, that's very true!
About three weeks ago, several of the doctors I work with and I got together to do some shooting. One of the doctors proudly proclaimed that he was very proficient with weapons, since he got to shoot machine guns, grenade launchers, and an M-16 while in basic training in the Navy. The first gun we shot was my Savage 338 Lappula magnum with my Harvester suppressor. This doctor volunteers to be the first want to shoot it. He's not excepting any of the pointers that I'm giving him so I say "fine" and move behind him. He pulls the trigger, and I hear the steel gong down range. I move around beside him, and I see that he is woozy as he stands out from the shooting bench. Immediately I see a crescent shaped cut above his right eye. The next thing I know, blood is pouring down his face. He's looking like he got punched by Tyson! We help him sit down, and immediately the sarcasm and I told you so's set in for him. We end up super glueing his cut shut.
He did not want to shoot a scoped rifle the rest of the day. He wouldn't shoot my 6.5 or my 223. He asked us to keep quiet about it, but that was useless. As soon as he got into the operating room on Monday, the vultures were upon him! Everyone who ever shot a gun was giving him crap. His first patient in clinic on Tuesday was a hunter. First thing out of the patient's mouth was "you got scoped!" He had 5 patients that noticed he got scoped.
Moral of the story - don't do something stupid and expect me to keep my mouth shut!
