Want to make a “firing range” pun, but nothing’s coming to me…leaving this as a placeholder in case inspiration strikes later.
Good move. The last thing you want to do is post a half-baked pun.
What about a fully baked gun?
Sounds more like a cook off.
Cooking duel at high noon
I think the subject of the news article already baked it plenty
Something about packing heat, too.
The range was hot at the time so firing should have been expected?
Who knew? Them damn guns need a warning that says “Do not store in or near excessive heat, fire or flame”…
🤦♂️
A quick image search finds this warning label on ammunition saying to store it in a cool, dry place.
Well, yeah, but the gun is safe right? Right…
No one ever thought of making such a warning because nobody thought anyone would be this stupid!
I’ve literally seen pocket lighters that had a warning that said “Do not use near fire or flame”, coming from a device literally designed to generate fire! 😂
People have already proven themselves excessively stupid, I don’t see why guns aren’t required to have a lengthy safety warning literally etched into the metal by now. 🤷♂️
As Dave Barry famously observed, the box a Water Pik comes in bears the warning, “Do not use while sleeping.”
Guns already have lengthy safety warnings etched into them. Unfortunately, there definitely isn’t enough space to describe every moronic thing people could do with them.
I’ve never seen any warnings etched into guns before, but I haven’t seen any newer guns made since like the mid 90s.
All I’ve ever seen etched into guns was the brand name, ammo size, serial number, and where the safety button/switch is.
It started in the 70’s, By the 80’s Ruger was putting it on all of theirs. After Dix V Baretta in the 90’s it became fairly standard.
Fair enough. I was never a gun enthusiast, but my late father had like 5 different older guns I got to try out back in the day. 🤷♂️
pffftt guns can never be the problem, we need to add the safety label to the ovens!
Just baking up some hot cross guns.
This should not have made me laugh out loud, but it did!
But who can stop an oven with a gun?
Only a good oven with a gun!
Better ban cookbooks while we are at it
My microwave has guns too.
Constantly shocked by people that don’t open the oven door at look every time prior to preheating the oven.
How else will you find:
- no pilot light
- a blanket
- cast iron cookware cooling
- loaded guns
- forgotten food
Look in the oven people! It takes 1 second.
I do not understand ever storing anything in the oven, its a cooking tool not a storage tool.
I will agree if you have a gas stove that checking the pilot light is a good idea, but those are becoming less common as we are discovering just how bad they are for your health - that, and induction is amazing for anything that doesn’t require an open flame (and that’s what bbqs are for!).
we are discovering just how bad they are for your health
It turns out that burning a highly flammable carcinogen in your living environment isn’t the best idea.
Best thing to cook on in the world though. It’s worth opening a window or whatever.
Disagree…induction is far better to cook on. It has much better temperature control, heats up faster, and when you’re done it’s easier to clean.
And it doesn’t do as much to heat up the kitchen because the heat stays concentrated in the pan.
I wish they’d installed an electric stove in my current place…now I have to get an electrician to come upgrade the circuit. 🙄
I don’t know any chefs who agree with you but I know four who disagree. And I disagree. But admittedly that’s a small sample size. I paid to have the gas line extended to reach my kitchen.
Disagree. Electric you don’t get heat fucking everywhere, it goes into the pan. Gas is so uncomfortable and loud if you’re doing it right and have the fan in full blast. And I don’t understand how people think it’s hard to cook on electric.
Well electric coils are slow as fuck to heat up and cool down… That time makes them a huge PIA to cook with. Gas and induction are instantaneous.
Oh no 5 seconds.
I know people who store valuable documents, items of devices in their ovens. Usually the reasoning is “if a burglar breaks in they wouldn’t think to check the oven for valuables”. Honestly, pretty stupid reasoning because I’d imagine any burglar worth their salt has heard that old chestnut and will probably place the oven fairly high on their checklist.
My solution to burglars is being poor.
I can’t even remember the last time I saw a gas range or oven that didn’t have pizoelectric starters. My cousin has a stove from the 1930s, that was probably it.
my oven cooking tools are stored in there im gonna need it anyway
If you’re in a small place, you store where you can. I get the impression most people never use their oven.
Because normal people don’t put random shit in their oven to check for?
Why would you expect anything to be in the oven? Maybe the cast iron is the exception but only because it can take the heat
Fun fact: Some ovens have a storage drawer at the bottom (drawer under main door.) Some ovens have a broiler at the bottom (drawer under main door. Maybe only gas ovens, maybe not.)
And some call that storage a “warming drawer”.
Hopefully you know what you have, plus why would you put anything in storage at someone’s house, if not the place it came from?
I keep my fireworks in the warming drawer.
I’m reminded of a joke from Burn Notice where Michael has kept a folder of critically important blackmail files in his mother’s oven for several seasons. He just casually points out she never actually cooks anything herself.
That show was awesome.
Thinking that’s a good idea, and remembering to do it, are two different things.
Also there could be a cat in the oven, or in America, a cat with a gun.
(I don’t have time to make an image right now, but anyway)
Hey America, how you doing?
Don’t keep your gun in the oven.
Oh.
Mythbusters S05E16. Loose bullets fire off but do not have energy to pierce the metal. A gun will fire a lethal bullet
Hot bullets get your hot bullets!
I wonder if there was a round in the chamber, and it was able to cycle.
Only one way to find out
Because of the lack of barrel. But in this case the gun was loaded so it should come out full force
Amazed to see this. New old house. Used oven for first time. Some sort of stench and black gunk dripping from top heat shield. Gas stove. Investigate. Pull out pieces of a gun. Glock or something. Previous owner stops by for mail (unusual situation). I had over the melted pieces, “you forget something in the oven?” “Oh shit. No problem, I can fix it.” "uh… Okaaaaay… "
He can 3D print or just but a new frame. The metal parts will be fine.
But maybe that individual should not.
True
Maybe he meant he could fix the oven. Which he could … by moving.
What is this scenario referring to? Is there another article with actual details, or…?
I mean to be fair who likes to eat cold lead
On one hand, it’s stupid as hell to store a firearm anywhere but in a safe/cabinet designed for them. An oven is another level of stupid
On the other, I used to store our cast iron Dutch oven in the oven and I can’t tell you how many times I started preheating the oven and then remembered to take it out. Usually after its oil seasoning started to heat up
So you’re saying they had a… cook off?
Uhhhh, also don’t store loaded guns? Like, at all. Anywhere.
This is the part that’s boggling my mind.
- Stored guns in an oven.
- Stored guns loaded.
But not content to stop there:
- Stored loaded guns, inside an oven.
wait… when you say “fired” do we mean, chambered, and fired down the barrel, cleared, and then cycled fully, repeating, or do we mean the rounds just popped off in the stack, not in the chamber.
The ‘article’ or accompanying video didn’t specify unfortunately. I guess it is possible the hottest round would be the one chambered and cooks off, engaging the semi auto chambering mechanism loading the next round and repeat.
If the gun was plastic, the barrel would definitely be the hottest part of the gun. Would still be true if the gun was a lighter metal, I think. Hmmm
This headline is AGAINST THE SECOND AMENDMENT! Not Be Infringed MEANS NOT BE INFRINGED! I can Store my Gun WHEREVER I want!
I worry about the people who need to be told things like this. How did they survive childhood without signs warning them not to breathe water or drink the contents of thermometers?
A primary school child took a gun to school, so apparently there needs to be a manual (and, well, training?) as a mandatory thing.
Being sheltered through life?
