As a part of our safety skit we demonstrate the power of the blanks
that we use by shooting a milk carton and a soda can that contain
a small amount of water.
We point out that these items are
thicker than human skin. We stress the fact that even
unloaded guns can kill.
Before shooting we demonstrate how everyone can protect their ears
by making "elephant ears".
We show the blown apart cans and bottles to the audience. |

Even a tiny gun has a powerful
punch! |

The safety skit demonstrates what can happen if you play with
guns. |

The sheriff explains to Littlefoot that
the gun she found needs to be turned in to the authorities.
Littlefoot doesn't understand because she was told the gun wasn't
loaded. Thinking it wasn't loaded, she pointed the gun in
the air and fired it.
(We always use blanks, but our guns
sound like and look like we are actually shooting bullets and
shells.) |
 |
 |
|
Littlefoot shot the bullet into the
air, but it came down and killed Dinky. We feel it is very
important to show that even shooting into the air is extremely
dangerous. |

At the end of our safety skit each
one of our members shares a safety tip about gun handling and
storage. |
