You guys are making me recall memories of my youth.
When I was about 13-14 years old, about 6 of us boys all about the same age, were out shooting squirrels just up the hill about 5 miles from where I live currently, we were at two brother's Aunt and Uncles Ranch.
The two brother's had Ruger Single Single 6 .22 pistols and the rest of us had .22 rifles.
I guess things got boring so we were putting cow pies on fence post and shooting them. Then it progressed to quick draw shooting the cow pies.
Well it did not go too well for the younger brother, when the gun went off in the holster, the bullet entered the outer calve of his leg and traveled just below the skin like a mole and stopped just above his ankle. Lucky, Lucky Guy! compared to what could have been.
We all, and rightly so... got in trouble for "Gun Play"
