My instructor went back and forth from bad-mouthing his ex-wife to perpetuating every Gun Shop Commando myth as though they were nuggets of holy information that would be the difference between jail/life/death.
Some gems:
1. All autos jam so only use FMJ and coat the nose of the bullets with Turtle Wax so they don't jam on the feed ramp.
2. Never buy a gun with an animal name in the title, like Tomcat or Python because prosecutors will claim it shows you to be savage and bloodthirsty.
3. His wife sleeps with Democrats.
4. If you get a lightweight allow gun it will eventually blow up in your hand so make sure it's chambered in .22 LR.
5. Best gun for defense is a DA snub revolver. Keep empty chamber under the hammer otherwise it will 'go off and kill you.'. Load next chamber with a blank, then a shotshell, then a hollowpoint. If you are assaulted, fire the blank and it will scare away the assailant. If the blank doesn't scare them off, shot him with the snakeshot. If that doesn't work, shoot them with the hollowpoint because it's deadly!
