Bad Gun Handling – Horse Archery Target Practice

Horse Archery really does sound like fun. If I could ride a horse it seems like a fun way to combine archery and riding.

However, there are so many things wrong here. Shooting at a person on a horse is just a bad idea. I’m assuming the person agreed to wear a target as a coat, but what about that poor horse?

This just seems like a bad idea on so many fronts.

Horse Archery
Horse Archery  = Safety First
Respect The Weapon

Why do I show these videos? 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:

  1. Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
  2. Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
  4. Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

Looking Down The Barrel of a loaded weapon is a clear violation of Rule 1. Nothing could be worse from a safety perspective. This is how people die and their families are left with horrible questions. Was it an accident? Was there something we could have done to avoid the tragedy?

Carriers (2009)

Carriers has some big name actors. Chris Pine plays Brian, the leader of the small group of survivors. A virus has devastated the planet and the survivors are deathly scared of being exposed to the incurable pathogen.

As the small group of survivors make their way downt he highway they come across Frank, played by Christopher Meloni of Law & Order fame. Frank needs help, he has a young daughter, and the girl is sick.

The movie is well acted, and I was really hoping it was taking a turn for the Zombie, especially here:

Carriers

Unfortunately this is a different type of apocalypse movie.

The world is ending, but there are no Zombies. Survivors struggle and fight each other while dealing with all the standard deathly pandemic tropes. There is hope of a cure. The secretly infected who hides it from their fellow survivors. There is not a lot of new or novel approaches here.

Carriers Scoring

Sadly, at the end of the day Carriers is not a Zombie Movie, it is just a post apocalyptic movie about a virus that has killed off most of the population, and how the survivors struggle. This means that Carriers is getting a 0/100 and is going into the Just Bad category as it isn’t a Zombie Movie at all.

Bad Gun Handling – Finger On The Trigger

A Finger On The Trigger is a key example of Bad Gun Handling. Keep that finger off the trigger unless you are ready to destroy whatever that weapon is pointed at!

It doesn’t matter if you are a weekend shooter or a member of law enforcement. If you touch the trigger before you intend to discharge the weapon you are setting yourself up for disaster.

Finger On The Trigger Example 1
Finger On The Trigger = Bad Gun Handling
Respect The Weapon

Why do I show these videos? 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:

  1. Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
  2. Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
  4. Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

This is a clear violation of Rule 3. There is no such thing as an Accidental Discharge. There are just shooters who don’t have enough training and discipline to handle a firearm safely.

Quarantine 2 (2011)

Quarantine 2 starts slow, telling the story of two airline stewardesses as they start their day, eventually leading to the start of the movie. Someone brought the virus onboard, and its not long before the plane is making an emergency medical landing.

Quarantine 2
Quarantine 2

From there, it is a fairly standard Zombie Infection story. The small group of survivors slowly gets taken down, and of course we have the emotional, bit, not leaving you storyline – which is just dumb at this point. If I see a bunch of my group get eaten alive after bites spread the infection, I’m not going to hesitate to leave you behind if you are essentially a stranger to me.

Quarantine 2 Scoring

Quarantine 2 scores a 64/100, putting it at the higher end of the Rainy Day Movie zone. The slow start, repetitive bad decisions, and the very formulaic ending cost this movie. There is nothing new here, but there are some good action scenes, even if there are no hoards. At max you see maybe four or five Zombies at any one time. That can work, but it has to be a good movie. Throw a few good hoards in and you get a few bonus points in my book.

Compared to the original Quarantine this fell by 3 points.

Bad Gun Handling – Properly Maintained And Serviced

A Properly Maintained And Serviced won’t blow up like that. This guy is so lucky he didn’t lose a hand, and eye, or his life. I have no idea what the root cause of this catastrophic failure is, but I do know that in general if you understand how your weapons breaks down and should function, you reduce the chances that something like this will happen by keeping thing in proper working order.

Properly Maintained And Serviced
Bad Gun Handling = Homemade Rockets
Safety First

I show these videos? 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:

  1. Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
  2. Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
  4. Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

Wear good Safety Gear and learn the proper skills to shoot safety.

This is a clear violation of Rule 1. No way that weapon is being pointed in a safe direction. Because no direction is safe when the weapon is in such poor shape that it is going to explode!

Maintain your gear. Wear safety equipment. Don’t end up on Bad Gun Handling!

I hope this guy didn’t lose an eye or worse, his life. If you are going to play with projectiles, make sure you take appropriate safety precautions!

Get all the Survival Gear you need to survive!

Bad Gun Handling – Safe Distances

What are Safe Distances? Safe Distances are how far you need to be from another shooter or from explosive targets. Or from explosives in general. Don’t stand so close that you get hit with hot brass from a shooter next to you. Ever see Tannerite Targets explode? Being too close can end up in people getting hurt or killed.

I don’t know if this is real, but I found people saying both these men were seriously hurt.

I’m not sure why you’d ever drop a grenade right next to you, regardless of being in a boat, this is just scary.

Bad Gun Handling – Road Rage

Road Rage is never the answer. Road Rage with a firearm is Bad Gun Handling. This is so scary. Innocents could easily have been hurt.

It is crazy videos like this that make me support gun control and gun registries. I have multiple family members in law enforcement. Cops shouldn’t have to guess if you have a firearm when they pull you over or knock on your door. Violence of any sort should result in loss of firearm privileges. Or better yet, massive increases in your gun insurance. Just like cars, if you show you are high risk, you should have to pay to own firearms.

This is just so scary. Firing like a maniac through a car window. So many bystanders could have been hurt and it is only luck that no one was hurt.

Support reasonable gun control and an online federal registry. No other country has our gun violence, and its because we don’t have good regulations and we don’t enforce training.
