I did a dumb today.

Credit to you for admitting what happened & Credit to the RSO for Not going Gestapo.

 

[Cynical]

So I bought a new Ruger 10/22 Takedown Backpacker rifle a week or so ago. The gun breaks down to a very manageable size and I was able to cram it almost all the way into my range bag. The top of the bag has a dual zipper closure, which I thought I had tightly secured. No sooner did they assign me my bay number and I walk in to the shooting area, the gun FALLS OUT of my bag. On to the floor. With an amazingly loud clatter. Thankfully, the RSO didn't freak out; he just had me take my rifle to the shooting bench. I apologized profusely and he was decent to me about it, although he was probably doing a giant internal eye roll, and I wouldn't blame him one bit. The lesson here is to always use a rifle bag no matter how small said rifle is.

Man, I really hope I don't end up on a YouTube video about gun fails.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. You obviously made the attempt to case it. Not only that the weapon wasn’t even assembled. I’d be more concerned for the ride at this point.

The gun knows how to speak would be like
"Are there any damage?"
"Yeah my owner's dignity and chance to be on gun fails on youtube" LMFAO
