Bad Gun Handling – Shoot My Balloon

Look, I get it, your a trained shooter (who still missed his first shot).

You think you are at the top of your game.

Even if you are a Navy Seal, Army Ranger, Ninja, I don’t care. You could hurt or killed your target stand.

That is bad.

What is worse is that you put the thought into less well trained peoples minds that this might be feasible. That is super bad.

Be responsible, shoot safe.

Bad Gun Handling – Sweeping The Line

This is just saw dangerous. They don’t have anything in front of them to put their weapons on, and that means when he gets a hot shell casing down his back he has no choice but to turn with a weapon in his hand.

Bad Gun Handling – Trigger Discipline

So what did he do wrong? He puts his finger on the trigger while he’s not pointing downrange. If that building had a concrete or steel roof that round could have ricocheted and hurt someone.

Remember:

  • Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
  • Know your target and what is beyond.
  • Know how to use the gun safely.
  • Be sure the gun is safe to operate.
  • Use only the correct ammunition for your gun.
  • Wear eye and ear protection as appropriate.
  • Never use alcohol, over-the-counter drugs or prescription drugs before or while shooting.
  • Store guns so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons.
