Today's Dummy......

....also known as me .

I was at a pawn shop today and noticed they had a Norinco clone of the Winchester '97. I haven't touched one of those in over 50 years when I used my Dad's. I've had Model 12s, 1300s and a couple of Mossberg pumps and truly love pump shotguns so naturally, I had to handle it. As I racked it to open the chamber I realized that I had forgotten a lesson I learned 50 years ago, the slide on the top of the receiver that cocks the hammer moves to a position where your thumb is not supposed to be. I had to bite my lower lip to stifle the pain and looked around nonchalantly to make sure no one noticed what an idiot I was before returning it to the rack. At least there was no blood this time

That made me flinch!

Oooohhh. Ouch. Put some ice on that.
