This is what kind of rifle that I used to teach my son on how to shoot a rifle. For us it worked out vastly better than I could hope for! The Son & Heir still has it & will probably train his daughter on it too! Grumpy

GRAPHIC: MAN THOUGHT STEEL-TOED BOOTS WOULD STOP A .45-CALIBER BULLET
It doesn’t take a smart person to guess it would be a bad idea to shoot your steel-toed boot with a .45.
We can thank this guy with a grimace for teaching everyone how bad of an idea this was.
The images surfaced on a forum and they are extremely graphic, so proceed with caution.
“This guy and his co-workers were discussing whether a steel toe boot would withstand a round from a .45, so what do do you think would be the best way to test this theory? YUP, you guessed it. Good thing he wasn’t testing his hard hat.”
Based on the placement of the shot, it almost appears the shooter missed his boot’s steel-toe insert in his boot. This might be a blessing in disguise, preventing metal shrapnel from spreading throughout the foot.
Let this be a not-so-friendly reminder to practice gun safety.
Huh, I am really surprised at how clean they got this old timer! Grumpy
