    Want to make a “firing range” pun, but nothing’s coming to me…leaving this as a placeholder in case inspiration strikes later.

    Who knew? Them damn guns need a warning that says “Do not store in or near excessive heat, fire or flame”…

    🤦‍♂️

        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.

                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. 🤷‍♂️

    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?

    the article also tells me not to store anything else in there, but that’s where I keep my pizza stones (I usually cook pizza on the grill) and fuck you I’ma keep them in the oven.

    Honestly fuck anyone who stores things in ovens.

    Guns is certainly a new one, but don’t put plastics in there. Especially if there’s ever a chance that someone else might touch your oven.

      An airbnb I stayed at stored a gray plastic food tray in the oven. My friend understandably thought it was a cooking sheet. Very sad cookies that night.

    At least here in Missouri, no licensing or training is required to own one of these deadly weapons.

    And it shows.

    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
