Thread: The downside of shooting, and an idea

If played right the temp will simply love the use of a nice stiff rod swabbing that bore.

I know you're probably just joking around with this, Red, but I agree with Quick. Take a cold shower or ten instead.

All it takes these days is a seemingly innocuous crack about how you'd like to watch her polish your handle (gun that is, yuck yuck) slowly and it's in to sexual harassment suitsville.

Unless you own that company, have an active EPLI policy (Employment Practices Liability Insurance) with a very low deductible that you're willing to use and then lose that coverage.....bad idea.

If you DON'T own the company, even if you're chummy with the boss, unless you're related to him, your job would most likely be bye bye after he either has to pay a $10,000 EPLI deductible or has to pay upwards of $100,000+ in defending an harassment claim even if it's groundless if he doesn't have EPLI coverage. Then it's "Why did you leave your last job?" ......"Well the funny thing about that is.......".

Harassment suits in the workplace are nothing new, but businesses are now able to buy EPLI at a much lower premium than previously available and are falling over each other to get it for the simple fact that it costs absolutely NOTHING for a former employee (even a temp can bring suit if they're not an employee) to make allegations of harassement and the average defense costs to a business to fight even a groundless claim are literally six figures.

Not to be a downer or anything.

I think that's what police armorer's use, a friend once told me that he did a ride along type thing and got a tour and saw that they did that, just dropped their guns into something. I figured maybe they were issue glocks which probably don't have anything that would react to solvents anyways.

I dunno, I always remove the grips as part of field stripping

I say just flirt her into submission. Then, she will do the guns for free just to hang out with you.

Get a boresnake and some spray- 6 handguns will take you less than 15 minutes

'Thems dish washin times there. i'd still be settin up the cleaning area and breaking down the guns at 15min!

I don't have any that need to be broken down

I admit, I hate gun cleaning. The main reason I rarely shoot my Uberti replica Colt 1860 Old Army black powder pistols. They are a pain to clean.

Black powder is really easy to clean in a sink of HOT soapy water, stuff falls right off and rinse in really hot water, water evaporates quickly and all you have to do is a light coat of oil.

Oh I know. That's exactly what I do, but I usually finish with putting all the metal parts in a warm (not hot) oven to make sure they're dry, grease and re-assemble. Still a pain. Seems like more time cleaning than shooting. Still fun to shoot, but I dread the cleaning.

icedog that wasy funny! Crack me up.

those of you taking it too seroiusly, thanks for warnings but relax. if it makes you feel better you can reread and insert something else, like the babysitter, girl at the video store. whichever one bothers you least and stilll completes the dream.
