Bad Gun Handling – License To Shoot

Leave a comment

You need a License to drive but not a License To Shoot. Basic gun safety and insurance should be mandatory. This is why there should be required education and training to own a firearm. I really think a lot of people wouldn’t be able to pass the test…

What would a License To Shoot do? It would make sure that people can pass a basic safety class. It would require insurance to make sure that if you cause damage the families and owners can get compensated.

That is important because as soon as weapons need insurance the insurance companies are going to do risk calculations. If you are a high risk gun owner you are going to pay more for insurance. That seems very logical to me.

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.

Clearly this is a violation of Rule 3. Keep that finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. The shooter is clearly trying to move fast here. Instead, train slow and gradually speed up until you are comfortable moving more quickly.

Bad Gun Handling – Red Dot & Cats

Leave a comment

Red Dot & Cats don’t mix. I don’t care if that is a BB gun, Airsoft gun, or an actual firearm. This is just Bad Gun Handling. Using your Red Dot to play with your pet is just setting yourself up for a horrible accident. Even if you don’t love the animal, I’m sure your family does. Do you want to have to explain to your kids or significant other why the cat is all over your floor and walls? Not me.

Treat every weapon as if its loaded! Safety first.

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 you are playing with Homemade Rockets.

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!

Bad Gun Handling – Guns In Public

Leave a comment

Guns In Public are a bad idea.

Look at that girls face. She sees it, and her brain realizes she is in real danger. Wherever this is, having a gun in that press is just plain scary. If that man is not wearing a uniform and looks legit, I would be doing my best to take him down in that crowd before he started to shoot.

You can see how this could end in disaster. Wave a firearm and get shot. How do I know you are not a shooter who is about to start pulling the trigger? Be ready for negative consequences. If I see you I am going to grab whatever I can and start putting holes in you. Why? Because I assume you are about to start shooting.

Bad Gun Handling – Finger On The Trigger

Leave a comment

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.

Bad Gun Handling – Road Rage

Leave a comment

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.

Bad Gun Handling – Guns Down Your Pants

Leave a comment

Putting a Guns Down Your Pants is just a bad idea. Guns aren’t props or toys, and using them like this puts everyone at risk.

The first risk is that someone screws up and they get shot in the butt. A handgun should be in a holster if you are storing it on your person. Doing otherwise risks and accidental discharge which could maim or kill.

The second risk is that it helps portray gun owners in a way that might not be the best.

Be responsible out there!

Bad Gun Handling – Losing Toes?

Leave a comment

Do you ever go to the range with the intention of Losing Toes? I don’t.

This is why training with an experienced firearms instructor is so important. A single mistake can cost you a finger, toe, or even your life. Don’t risk Losing Toes because you wanted to try and figure it out on your own. Hire someone with experience and practice with an unloaded weapon before you ever try your draw with live rounds.

Be careful out there…

Who needs toes anyway?

Bad Gun Handling – Not A Toy

Leave a comment

Guns are Not A Toy. What happens when you treat a firearm like a toy? People get hurt or killed. Don’t follow this example of Bad Gun Handling.

Is this real? I’m not sure. The way they both react makes me think it is.

This Accidental Discharge is exactly why every gun owner should be forced to carry insurance for their weapons. No better way to ensure safety than making people pay if they screw up. You know, just like we do with cars. This example of Bad Gun Handling is why every gun owner should be forced to take a safety class and register their firearms.

Multiple family members are in law enforcement. It’s not fair to them that anyone can go buy a gun without having to take a basic safety class and insure it. The moment a cop get a call to go to this house he should know the owner has a firearm. That should come up on his scanner.

Every gun should be instantly mappable to the registered owner, and incidents like this should revoke that right for at least a year, if not longer.

Guns aren’t toys…

Bad Gun Handling – Every Gun Is Loaded

Leave a comment

Every Gun Is Loaded. Treat them like they are. Every time, all the time. Guns are not toys. Treat them with respect at all time. Or you might just have to pay a really high price.

Do the same thing every time. Check, then double check the weapon. It is very clear what this gentleman did. He racked the slide and saw a round go flying. The problem is that all he did was cycle the next round into the chamber when he racked the slide.

Never assume a weapon is empty. Check it, recheck it, and then treat it with respect. This is just so scary. He is in a room full of teenagers!

Bad Gun handling – Roller Skates and Guns

Leave a comment

Roller Skates and Guns do not go together. There is no way this is real right? I want to know who pitched the Roller Skate Seals? Is there anything they can’t get approved? Roller Skates are pretty much guaranteed not to be a stable shooting platform. What happens when you slip and fall? I think the natural instinct would be to grab at things. Maybe pull the trigger a few times as you fall.

Yeah, I’m going to just say this is a bad idea…

Someone please tell me this is fake.
