Safe Shooting means knowing what is in front of your weapon. It also means having a good understanding of how the weapon works. Safe Shooting means stopping and thinking about what you are doing so accidents don’t happen.
Stop, take a breath, think about what your about to do when you squeeze that trigger.
Don’t point your weapon as anything you don’t intend to destroy, in this case using your truck as a gun rest probably wasn’t such a good idea…
Guns are not toys. Guns are not props for photo shoots. They are dangerous tools. Mishandle them and people will end up hurt.
Why do I show these videos and pictures? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.
Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:
- Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
- Treat all guns as loaded at all times.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
- Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.
This is a clear violation of Rule 1.
