This is how you turn a new gun enthusiast off of the sport. This is how you Put Your Eye Out. It is a scary example of Bad Gun Handling.
This image is a great example of why basic gun safety classes should be mandatory. It also a great ad for mandatory gun insurance. When she is hurt is it fair that her medical insurance will pay the cost? I don’t think so. The owner of that rifle should be responsible for whatever happens with it. That rifle should be covered under a mandatory firearms insurance policy so when people get hurt there is money to pay for damages.
Guns are not toys. Guns are not props for photo shoots. They are dangerous tools. Mishandle them and people will end up hurt.
Someone please take that rifle away from her…

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 though they are loaded.
- 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. Putting that scope against her eye like that is a clear sign she’s not treating this weapon as if its loaded.
