Treat It Like It Is Loaded. Even if it is “just” a paintball gun. Hopefully this kid can still have kids after this.
There are two parts of your body that have a “blood barrier”. One is your brain and the other is your testicles. If you break either of those barriers your own immune system will attack those organs. The reason that’s important is that if this kid just ruptured that lining he could end up sterile.
Never point a gun (even a paintball gun) at anything you don’t intend to destroy.
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.
