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:
- 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.
Wear good Safety Gear and learn the proper skills to shoot safety.
This is a clear violation of Rule 2. Keep your finger off the trigger unless you are ready to fire!
I hope this guy didn’t get run into the ground after this. I’m sure he was made an example of after this.
