Costco recently had a Gun Vault on sale and I ordered one to keep a firearm handy on the headboard. It arrived yesterday, and when I opened the cover, inside was the following sticker:

Asphalt Road surface Font Tar Electric blue

Now, I can store a pistol with an empty chamber with a loaded magazine lying next to it. It would only take a few more seconds to shove the mag in the gun. But an empty revolver and a speed loader? Seems like it would take a lot more precious seconds to grab the gun, flip open the cylinder, grab the speed loader, insert the rounds and close the cylinder. In either case, if it happens in the wee hours and I'm roused from a deep sleep, that only adds to the difficulty. If someone is breaking in, those few extra seconds could be crucial.

So, are they just putting that sticker there as a CYA?

One of my favorite examples of this sort of warning silliness is advertisements for perscription medicines. "Before taking lunicamib, Tell your doctor if you have atrial miscalibration, ventricular galloping, earlobe discupsia, disfunctional kidneys, platlet animosity, or hives. Side effects include spontaneous combustion, vitreous humor polarization, plasma urination, premature insomnia, and warts. Do not take lunicamib if you are allergic to lunicamib." Really? People have to be told not to go out of their way, getting a perscription and filling it, if they are allergic to it?

Please remember we live in an era of the Tide Pod challenge.

I'm guessing there's is nothing in the user's manual addressing this little feat of inginuity:

I've been paying close attention to these. Several years ago it was recommended I take a drug called Jardiance for diabetes. I got the insert before filling it, and found out one of the side effects of the drug was possible gangrene to the perineum. If you don't know what it is, trust me, you don't want any difficulty there. Needless to say, I got my doctor to find an alternative.

Yeah, but how do you tell which ones are crooked?

They're lawyers. Okay, J/K but the prevalence is great, If they advertise to sue for you on stuff like slips and falls, clue. If they're part of a big lawsuit (like the Marine water thing), clue.

The ones who sue over people suffering adverse incidents and blame some large corporation just to rob them. Everything cost significantly more due to insurance requirements caused by crooked lawyers. Some things are simply unavailable ie Cessna airplanes because they were sued out of business. You know what you call a thousand dead lawyers at the bottom of a cliff? A good start! Semper Fi and Can Do

The best warning sticker I ever saw was on a bobcat being used at Mt Rushmore. The sticker read "CAUTION: Avoid Death" - very good advice....

That note reminds me of a warning I saw printed inside a steam iron users manual: DO NOT USE IRON WHILE WEARING THE GARMENT. I doubt they would have included that warning if some genius hadn't tried it.

My daughter's curling iron came with a warning of "not intended to be used INTERNALLY"! 😧

Cessna is alive and as well as can be expected. Cessna light aircraft are unavailable to all but the most well-heeled because the cost has been driven sky high by lawsuits over idiotic issues.

A better one, what's the difference between two lawyers in a Porsche and a porcupine?
On a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside.

Every weapon in my safe is unloaded.
I do keep two fully loaded mags for my CZ P-01 with my CZ, and I keep three 30 round mags of 300 Blackout loaded in the other safe next to my AR.
but NONE of the weapons are loaded.
and yes I still check and double check evey weapon anytime I am handling them or showing them to someone.
OF course I do have a loaded firearm on my person or night stand all the time.

Here's one I heard about a million years ago:
Q: What's black and brown and looks good on a lawyer?
A: Doberman Pinscher

Full Disclosure: I have nothing against lawyers, in general. There are times when we absolutely need them to protect us (often from other lawyers).

I just wish there weren't so darn many of them in D.C. and the government in general.
