Oh, boy . . . I was probably 4 years old when my Daddy began drumming firearm safety into my little skull full of mush, and one of the things I was taught was that you DON'T put your hand over the muzzle of a gun, because bad things can happen if it fires. Thanks to his early teaching, that was a bad habit I was prevented from ever acquiring. (Thanks, Dad.
)
Nothing wrong with that. What do you think ghost guns are for?
It'll be hard to top that response.
