With A Sickly Nod To South Park
By Mitch Berg
Note: Thius story is safe for work. But use caution
Perhaps it’s a sign that I take firearm safety rules so very very seriously, but I can’t be the only one who looked at the specific piece of hardware in this story and got a nauseous feeling in the pit of their gut because:
- the firearm in question was loaded
- the trigger has no trigger guard
- I don’t know for sure, but I can’t imagine with a hammer that small it’s a single-action piece, and
- a trigger pull that short ain’t much safety even if it’s double-action.
None of the above was intended to be a double-entendre, pinky swear, although on second read it occurs to me that not only is every word of it is exactly that, but tjhere is literally no way around it.k

It’s an NAA. They are single action.

Might be safe for work, but not during breakfast.

Even though it’s single action, theoretically putting it where it went could cock it–no pun intended but blame gratefully accepted–with disastrous results. No?

I dunno, I still can’t figure out why their guts don’t slide out.
