Bad Gun Handling – Loaded Weapon

September 22, 2021March 11, 2023 Leave a comment

Do not play with a Loaded Weapon. When you handle a firearm and don’t treat it with respect you put you and everyone around you in danger.

I have no idea where this video was taken, but it appears there is a bar or café behind him, and this guy is playing with a loaded weapon?

I really hope this is fake, but if its not this is just so wrong. Who handed him a loaded weapon? Why wasn’t he trained at a range to handle it safely so café pops like this don’t happen?

So scary….

Loaded Weapon

Every Gun Is Loaded = Bad Gun Handling — Every Gun Is Loaded

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.

Bad Gun Handling – Proper Grip and Stance

September 15, 2021March 12, 2023 Leave a comment

Proper Grip and Stance is the first thing I go over when teaching a novice shooter. They practice with an unloaded weapon first! I hope that weapon is empty and they are about to teach her the right way to handle that firearm.

This is not her fault, and I’m hoping she is just trying to figure out her sight picture, but if that gun is loaded, this is really scary because it is going to end up hitting her in the forehead if she’s lucky, and end up going off again when its pointing there if she’s really unlucky.

Bad Gun Handling – Booze, Bikinis And Guns

September 8, 2021March 12, 2023 Leave a comment

Booze, Bikinis And Guns don’t mix. Mixing them is a sure fire way to end up in an emergency department. This will end in someone getting hurt!

I’m really hoping that is an airsoft gun, because if not, this is just so scary. Alcohol and guns don’t ever go together. Booze, scant clothing, and hot brass just make the odds of this going horribly wrong even higher.

Bad Gun Handling – Burnt Parts

September 1, 2021March 12, 2023 Leave a comment

This is a really bad way to end up with Burnt Parts. The parts that are about to get burnt up are what people call sensitive. Don’t do this!

Yes, I know this is likely staged and he’s not about to pull that trigger on a life round. But I’m not 100% sure. And it doesn’t matter. This is still a bad example of how to handle a firearm responsibly.

So bad for so many reasons.

Guns are not toys people…

Bad Gun Handling – 12g Pain

August 25, 2021March 12, 2023 Leave a comment

You do not want to feel 12g Pain. It can knock out teeth, leave bruises, and kill if you aren’t lucky. This is Bad Gun Handling.

Who gives a new shooter a shotgun with no stock?

This is not a weapon for a novice shooter. You need to push that weapon forward on the strap to help deal with the recoil, and you can see she barely has the grip in her palm, which caused all the recoil to hit her thumb. Hopefully its not broken.

Bad Gun Hanlding – 40 in the Restroom

August 18, 2021March 13, 2023 Leave a comment

Pulling out your 40 in the Restroom in just Bad Gun Handling. Pistols aren’t toys. They aren’t props. Treat firearms with respect. Best case this ends up with a shattered mirror. Worst case the round hits someone and kills.

Sure, she was at least pointing it at the mirror, but there could be people on the other side of that wall and who knows if the wall would stop that round?

Guns are not toys. Don’t play with them.

Bad Gun Handling – Basic Safety

August 11, 2021March 14, 2023 Leave a comment

Basic Safety is so important. This is a scary example of a new shooter sweeping her friends with her muzzle. Very Scary.

I take every new shooter to my local range. There is a wooden table between the shooters and the targets. That table is super important. I put one round in the weapon to start and tell the shooter to put it back down when they are done shooting. The weapon is always pointed down range. At all times.

This isn’t her fault. Whoever handed her that weapon should be standing right behind her to help her and assure everyone’s safety.

Be safe out there…

Bad Gun Handling – No Holster

August 4, 2021March 14, 2023 Leave a comment

Putting a gun down your crack with No Holster is just asking for an Accidental Discharge. It’s not safe. Use a Holster! If you are not careful your finger ends up on the trigger and instead of pulling the weapon free you pull the trigger back. That is going to put a bullet right into your butt unless you win the lottery and you put the round between the cheeks!

Never tuck a weapon in you pants (or bathing suite) – this is how you end up shooting yourself.

Bad Gun Handling – Bad Footing

July 28, 2021March 15, 2023 Leave a comment

Shooting while on Bad Footing is a bad practice. The weapon recoil can knock you off your feet and that can cause an accident discharge.

Big or small, it is always important to make sure your weapons are always in good condition and you are firing from a stable platform. If you are on Bad Footing you need to fix that before pulling the trigger! Most of us are going to try to stop the fall. That means there is the potential for an accidental discharge which could end disastrously!

This could have ended very poorly.

Bad Gun Handling – 12G Kick

July 21, 2021March 26, 2023 Leave a comment

12G Kick does not care if your a buck five or three hundred pounds. If you aren’t trained it will pull that shogun out of your hands.

Is this gentleman ready for that 12G Kick? I highly doubt it. Look at how he puzzles with what I think is the safety first. Then he has his thumb above the weapon and not wrapped around the pistol grip. New shooters need training. Guns are not toys.

It scares me to see someone who clearly needs some training and familiarizing with that shotgun:
