OK -- now I've watched it. Kinda looked like her reaction was real to me. No rap against you, OM -- I can see why some see it as funny (and most Canadians won't understand 
), but sorry -- it's just NOT funny to me. Here's why:
To me, that kinda nonsense is why some people shouldn't have or handle guns. I like guns, but I RESPECT them and was taught that, above all else, they are one thing that you absolutely NEVER, EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE **** around with. I agree with Willy -- that guy IS an *******. But the thing that is wrong on her behalf is that it sure doesn't look like she's familiar with or trained enough to be "cleaning" a semi-auto pistol, or handling it unsupervised. So, I gotta wonder exactly WTF she was doing with it, other than irresponsibly handling it like it was a *****. Doesn't look like he is the type to create the required positive learning environment for her to GET IT about guns, though.
I've been teaching the blond about guns and taking her out shooting. But she handles guns only under my close supervision to this point. She's learning the basics, then more, going from smaller calibers to larger -- as I see that she demonstrates that she has command of each step. As much as I'd like the help when we've taken multiple guns out to the range, I'm not sure I'll ever trust her to clean them, but that's because she's not mechanically adept and breaks things due to clumsiness and impatience/frustration. One thing's for certain: I'll never ever put her in a situation in which I don't think she's safe with guns, or that might endanger others. Startling or scaring the crap outta someone holding a firearm is beyond stupid, especially if that person's a novice. At worst, someone gets shot (treat every gun as if it's loaded, all the time -- it just might be). What happened there was about the best possible result, because she didn't drop it on the concrete patio. Drop one of mine on the concrete and I just might load another and shoot you -- that kind of damage usually doesn't buff out of the lost value.
Oh yeah -- the blond is busy enjoying her coffee now.
:lol: So there -- a little more like the sour pickles you were expecting from me?

My biggest mistake was teaching wifey how to use my guns. I can hear her now. "Honestly officer I thought it was an intruder" B)

Rule #1: All guns are ALWAYS loaded.
Rule #13: Screwing with the wife who's doing something you both agreed she shouldn't, it priceless.
