Vice President Biden's recent advice to fire two blasts from a shotgun into the air, and, even more recently in Field and Stream Magazine, to fire a shotgun through a door, is absolutely atrocious advice.
Not only are both sets of advice border-line (if not outright) illegal in most places, but they both ignore the safety of innocent bystanders.
Furthermore, it violate the "rules" of safe gun handling; specifically, properly identifying your target, as well as what's downrange when you fire a weapon.
The Vice President's advice is ludicrous at best, illegal at worst, and just goes to show how little he actually knows about firearms safety.
Every legal firearm owner in this country should be appalled at his words. Please tell the VP to stop.
You can retract words; not bullets.
