    I don't know which freaks me out more...the guy standing there while a gun is pointed at him, or the guy who would point a gun at another human being and pull the trigger when it were not a self-defense/combat situation. And it's still gonna leave a bruise. Might even break a rib.

    Or he might be a bad shot and blow the guy's brains out.

    It's way more trust than I've got.
    You can tell it was done nearly 50 years before OSHA came into being.

    Apparently, several manufacturers advertised their products that way back then:
