In my youth, our family would have Sunday breakfast at this diner after mass.
As we sat I noticed one man who walked with a funny limp. It seemed as if his right leg was a solid pole. Well. It was.
My Dad told me," See that man? He got that way playing quick draw. He tried to quick draw his .357 and shot himself in the leg. The bullet went down the length of his leg. So he now has a limp."
I thought I'd add that little story to this thread. It did leave an impression with me as I never really did any kind of quick draw as I got older and became enthusiastic about handgun shooting.
