The Cat forgave me two days later and the Dog will always be my best friend. I think he thought I was an idiot for a week though. What I believe saved the day was when my Brother took away my bb gun when I was 10. I was unsafe with it and he kept it for over a month until he heard me tell my friend to be carefull with his bb gun. Even though I was out in space and had my ND, the muzzle was pointed in a safe direction. I very well could have pointed it at that cat or my dog who was in time out or the tv that was showing that sleep number bed ad. I pray that anyone who dry fires has a safety plan in regards to where the ammo is! Denny
