I have had several incidents im not proud of but each has taught me important lessons. Once when I was younger and home alone I was playing with my 10/22. We had a basket ball goal and I was across the yard shooting at the head on the NBA symbol. Little did I know that there was a steel plate behind the backboard that was ricocheting and hitting the side of the house. Later when my dad was pressure washing the house he found 4 bullet holes in the siding.

Have also Shot 357 through floor of house Shot 40 cal through floor of office Shot 30-06 into woods down range where a guy was fixing fence ( He didnt tell anyone he was gonna be there )

Clean and maintain the guns you own. I saw a young guy in his 20's paying the guy at Jim's $100 to clean a pump shotgun an A Glock. I told him he was damn women and laughed at him.

I would be lying if I said I've never done this.

Should also add remembering to put the plug in.

Listen here Jack. I try to learn something from every mistake I make and the fact that I make a lot of them leads me to believe that I'm wise beyond my years

My fricking facial hair on steroids has been a thorn in my side during my military career.

I must spend close to a couple thousand dollars a year on shaving supplies.
