Handing a Too Timid shooter a large caliber gun is just an epic display of Bad Gun Handling. The shooter is not going to have a good time.
This is how you break a nose or worse.
If you are going to hand someone a pistol, start them with a .22 first, and then make sure you show them the Weaver Stance, and only load a single shot in the clip until they are more comfortable. Not doing this can turn a Too Timid shooter into someone who never wants to go to the range again.
Giving a new user a .45 and not giving them instruction is a sure way to turn someone off the sport forever…
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 2.
