u know i’m american bc the bit in asib when sherlock shoots the gun into the air outside and tires immediately squeal and he says “on their way!” wrt calling the police was utterly baffling to me until i found out how much more unusual that sound must be in england. like obviously gunshots aren’t a good thing but like. in america for the most part ur kinda like ¯_(ツ)_/¯ if u randomly hear them from a distance or smth
lmao and the police sure as shit aren’t gonna just drive toward any gunshots they hear in the distance a;ldskfjasdl;kfj
I grew up in eastern Brooklyn. I am super familiar with gunshots. Your post just explained so much about that moment to me.
ya i literally breezed by the moment so many times like “well that’s not realistic” and then i Realized
i could hear gunshots from less than half a mile away in the middle of the night (i regularly do) and just go back to sleep like who cares??
what’s going on with that country? this is super dangerous hello?
lmao we know 😂😕😩
I live out in the country so we got rednecks firing guns 24/7
I hear gun shots from just down the street all the time during the night and I don’t think twice about it.
Guys wtf is this true what’s wrong with your country that’s not safe
America, are you okay?
no actually we’re currently watching a moldy cheeto impose a fascist regime and the gun thing has been true basically since always so no, we are in fact not okay
You seriously need to sort this out America. The only time I’ve heard a gun in real life is at a military display.
I was watching a documentary thingit the other day and a woman was standing there when a bunch of fireworks started going off, and all I could think was wow my country is fucked up because if you hear that sound here you hit the deck because someone just started shooting. I’ve heard so many guns go off in my lifetime I don’t even blink anymore unless it’s super close.
pistols and revolvers are not any different in how you handle them safely but here’s what they look like
finger is off the trigger unless you’re ready to shoot. it should not touch the trigger guard or the trigger. It should be up on the frame (it can be touching the slide)
the strong hand (the one you write with or prefer to write with) holds the gun by the grip and your weak hand (the free hand) covers the weak one like so:
appropriate position of the fingers and thumbs from above:
watch out for slide bite, which is when the slide cuts your fingers or your hand. This video illustrates a woman getting slide bite from her weapon because she crossed her thumbs : tw for blood
WHERE TO PULL A TRIGGER FOR ACCURACY:
trained gunners will not point the gun at anything they don’t plan to destroy. muzzles are pointed down (but not at the feet)
Charles Kinsey, 47, a behavior therapist from South Florida was shot in the leg three times by the police in North Miami while laying on the ground with his arms up and trying to help his patient with autism who had run away from a group home.
It all started when someone called 911 and said there was a man walking around with a gun. However it was Kinsey’s patient who was sitting on the ground cross-legged, playing with a toy truck.
Charles got shot by police despite telling them he was only trying to help his patient.
The police shot him, handcuffed him and left him on ground bleeding.
North Miami police have not released much information at
all. They haven’t released the officer’s name, they haven’t given us an update
on the investigation. However, they did say that the state attorney is now a part of
this investigation.

what the fuck? you shoot a unarmed man, hands up, lying on the ground, not even giving you lip, and all you have to fucking say is “i dont know”???? im so pissed off that this would never happen to me because im white. im pissed off white killers are treated to hamburgers while peaceful, unarmed, compliant black people are being shot and/or killed simply because the officer felt like it. not even felt like it. he didnt know. HE DIDNT FUCKING KNOW??? HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW??? IF YOU SHOOT SOMEONE AND YOU CANT EVEN THINK OF A REASON WHY, YOU SHOULDNT BE WITHIN FIFTY FUCKING MILES OF A GUN.
