This one was about firearms. The questions were terrible. Here's a pic of one of them, which I got wrong. My answer was "towards the ground". They say otherwise. I guess it's ok to fire up into the air and not know where your round will land

Y'all are terrible people
And I'm throwing away all my holsters. I'll walk around with my M&P 9c in my hand...pointed straight up to the sky of course.

At my range the only acceptable answer would be toward the backstop.The topsoil is very thin with a layer of limestone right beneath it, and has caused ricochets in the past.We can't use any of those self healing ground targets either for the same reason.
 
This reminds me of a question I had to answer on an exam in what was then called Air Police School at Lackland AFB, at San Antonio. This was a police academy that I attended after completing basic training.
As I recall, it lasted eight weeks.

The question was, where does the air policeman park his own vehicle after stopping an offender's car?

In front of the offender?

Behind the offender?

To the rear of the offender?

Beside the offender?

I wasn't sure whether it was behind or to the rear. I chose the latter because it seemed more formal and got the correct answer. BTW, I passed out as second man in my class of about 150 and got a special citation for academic achievement. I still have that and on days when I feel a little low, I get it out and read it. That and having published about 5,000 magazine and newspaper articles and produced two brilliant children are my primary claims to fame.

Of course, I'm a member here. That's sort of impressive, I hope. I try to be helpful.

How quaint that you thought that anything on Facebook other than cute grandkid pictures was worth looking at.

I understand that some Victoria's Secret models have Facebook accounts. I'd like to correspond with a few, but fear that any Facebook account there will be hacked. I've known people it happened to.

That included a couple of Americans, a Spaniard, and a French woman who married English. All of her contacts, in both English and French, got e-mails from "her", wanting money. She said it had to be Facebook where she was hacked and the others agreed, based on what info was stolen.

I actually got the message in French, which I read, but Caty knows my French is very limited and would have written to me in English. She is fully bilingual. I think the hacker was French or Arabic speaking as a first language. The others "sent" messages that turned out to be ads for electronic items. Good thing none of those fake e-mails contained viruses. I opened them because I thought the messages were from friends whom I knew. (I never open "stranger" mail.)

Be very wary of Facebook. Besides, they're anti-gun and their tests probably are designed to make people fear and distrust guns.

Stayed away from Facebook for many years before my sister finally convinced me to set one up.

After experiencing it and seeing that it is 90% narcissistic garbage from people who crave attention I had enough and haven't posted in a couple years now.
 
Hmmm.

I am thinking maybe the test is designed for ignoramuses (ignorami?) in paved urban environments and the concern, with pointing at the ground, is ricochets... Maybe?

Or, maybe the quiz is just put together by fools.

But. More fundamentally, I don’t do that Facebook thing. Nor yer Tweeters or Crackers or Tinders or Pintrests or Gugenheimers (?) or whatever elses is out there in internet land.

Nope.

The extent of my social media is — ahem! — this fine forum rat cheer.

I won't go near Facebook ever again. I had a Facebook page years ago because a lot of my relatives were on it. Somebody hacked my page and used it to spread a virus. Apparently somebody started blaming me for it. Happily, my cousin-in-law came to my defense and told everybody that there was no way that I was fiddling around on Facebook during working hours. I deleted my Facebook account and never went back on.
