Shoot the lock off

Remember the movies where the actors are always shooting the padlock off hasps, chained gates, treasure chests and other secured places and objects?

According to the link from "DVCtracker" at Life, Liberty, etc. (purveyors of fine RKBA-related products such as pins, decals, bumper-stickers, cups, patches and shirts), it's not really that easy to do.

The Box O' Truth is one of our favorite firearms-related surf-sites. My only complaint is that "Old_Painless" doesn't run enough 'experiments' to keep me amused with fresh material every day, so I admit I haven't stopped by to check out their website for a while.

Rifles ... maybe. But if you want to REALLY 'shoot the lock off', drag a 12-gauge slug round out of that beat-up cardboard box labelled "GUN STUFF" and go to town.




Looks easy, doesn't it?
