I love the gun buster signs on the windows right in front of him.

Tonight on the "Big Bang Theory" the nerd with the glasses took his hot girlfriend who lives across the hall to an indoor pistol range, as her dad suggested that's what she would enjoy doing on a date (nice dad nice girlfriend).

The hot blond (since she is the expert) takes the gun to get it ready for him. She racks the slide forward and back, then inserts the magazine, hits it to make sure it is up and hands it to him. He points the black pistol down at the ground and she kisses him hard.

The gun goes off and he has shot himself in the foot.

It must have been a Glock.

He's going to be ok as the bullet hit the end of his sneaker, requiring a only a bandaid at the hospital.

I'm watching the show right now, but I didn't see that. Leonard and Penny are out on a double date with Howard and Bernadette, and Leonard is in trouble for making fun of Penny having consulted a psychic. The previous episode was about Leonard's ice queen mother visiting and didn't have a gun range scene either.

BTW, I get a kick out of that show. The characters, Penny excepted, are either grad students or researchers at Caltech, which is where my parents taught for 30 years. Whenever they show the Pasadena City Hall dome in the window of Sheldon and Leonard's apartment, I can tell exactly where their apartment is.

I didn't want to get too far away from the shooting in the foot topic. It is where the Indian geek falls in love with Siri in his iPhone 4s. I may have been watching a tivo episode.

The shooting episode is the current one. Double date and the psychic connection is so last year... or maybe even further back.

You must be watching a channel playing reruns. There was a gun range scene where Leonard shot himself in the foot in this week NEW episode on CBS. Totally bogus because Penny racked the slide and then she inserted the mag. There was no ammo in the chamber. :fire

Bingo you win the prize. It was a real surprise to me when it went bang. But you know it is always loaded.

It was so obvious, do you think they did that on purpose, so they could not be sued for showing someone how to really load a semi-automatic?

That's not what they mean by the big bang theory. ;-)

It looked to me like he shot himself with a 4" 1911

Just noticed something I had missed. Look at the employee, blue shirt, that is arranging the targets on the back table and then exits the range. He does not have hearing or eye protection. :smilelol5:

It looks like a black alloy framed S&W 9mm, like a model 910.
