Using a handgun to do some Spider Killing is just going overboard. Yes, I know they are playing. But guns aren’t toys!
Yes, I know this is likely staged, but…what happened to treat every weapon like its loaded and don’t point it at things you don’t want to destroy?
These guys may be dangerous operators with massive gun experience, but the problem is when they do it, those who don’t have that knowledge and experience may think its fun to try and take the same picture.
Eventually someone will make a mistake, and someone will get hurt.
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.
