Gun Magnets

TJ Provost Leave a comment

These Gun Magnets are perfect to handle all kinds of different scenarios. Of course they can be used as intended. Put the Magnet inside you closet or under you desk and then use it to hold onto a firearm or maybe a Machete. Please make sure that wherever you store self defense tools is safe. Don’t put a weapon anywhere a child or untrained users could get their hands on it.

What I really like about these Gun Magnets is how they turn any metallic object into Hidden Survival Gear. With a bit of super glue or a few screws, you can discretely put gear wherever you need it.

That is where these Gun Magnets come in. I can put them anywhere I want and use their holding power to put everything from machetes, shotgun, handguns, and rifles wherever I need them.

These are perfect to put a shotgun over my closet door. That puts it safely out of reach, while also hiding it from sight. Its hard to steal something if you don’t know its there. Know what I mean? On the flip side, if I need it, I not only know where it is, but I can also make an excuse to hit the closet safe for cash if its a home invasion, giving me the chance to introduce any bad actors to some 12g buckshot.

When it comes to keeping your Hidden Survival Gear truly hidden, these Gun Magnets are the first thing you should add to your inventory.

Gun Magnets

These Gun Magnets can have a moderate impact on your survival and score a 238/1000. They gain points because they can turn any metallic object and turn it into Hidden Survival Gear.

Wall Mounted Gun Holders

TJ Provost Leave a comment

These Wall Mounted Gun Holders are perfect to organize and store your long guns. If you are lucky enough to have a large gun safe these are perfect to keep your long guns from creating that “gun teepee” from forming and scratching up your gear.

My buddy has a nice blind out in the bay. He put these Wall Mounted Gun Holders in front of each bench so shotguns stay organized and easily at hand. It is a small upgrade but makes the blind easier to navigate and eliminates the risk of guns tipping over and accidentally being pointed in unsafe directions.

As always, just make sure its legal before you do it. State laws vary widely.

After a natural disaster a lot will change. Infrastructure will be down. Survivors will get more desperate as food and water run out. Maybe a few Zombies will be stumbling about. The point is that life is going to be dangerous. Having a weapon at each door and window might just save your life.

Wall Mounted Gun Holders Scoring

I really like how well these Wall Mounted Gun Holders work. They let me put long guns anywhere I want. That improves safety, organization, and potentially security. Having weapons close at hand can obviously give you more options when responding to a threat.

This one was a hard one to score. I love the Gun Holders but the real benefit comes from the addition of the long gun right? Because of this I have to say they are still on my list of top 1000 survival items but they can have a low impact on survival and score a 51/1000.

  • Simple and secure.
  • Securely stores your weapons upright.
  • Install in minutes.
  • Easy to install anywhere.
  • Perfect for vehicles, duck blinds, outposts, campsites.

Bad Gun Handling – Shotgun Flip Loading

TJ Provost Leave a comment

Shotgun Flip Loading might by really cool looking but it is just not the way to handle a firearm. Yes, this move from T2 makes this look very cool, but in practice you end up pointing the dangerous end of that weapon right at yourself. What if you had a misfire and it goes off just as your swinging it?

This is awesome in a movie, but not so much in real life.

Bad Gun Handling = Shotgunning Whiskey

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.

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. Obviously when it is being twirled its being directed right at the shooter and anyone else behind them!

Bad Gun Handling – Shooting From Porch

TJ Provost Leave a comment

Shooting From Porch is just a bad idea. I can’t see what is behind those trees. Could this guy own a thousand acres of land and there is nothing out there? Could it back to water? Sure, but even with each of those scenarios someone could have ended up there.

That is the first thing that scares me.

The second thing is that he’s up on that porch. What if someone walks around the corner from either side and wanders in front of that weapon?

I know I will get hate mail on this one. Sure, you can make a hundred scenarios where this might be safe. But that is the key word. Might. Even if you think you are alone on your property people may have broken down or gotten lost on their four wheelers. There are a lot of ways that people end up where you don’t think they should be.

Bad Gun Handling – Accidental Shotgun Discharge

TJ Provost Leave a comment

Training is important. It teaches you to do the same thing, every time, no matter what stress you are under. I am sure this gentlemen was excited because of the competition, and that caused him to put his finger on that trigger as he closed the break action shotgun, and caused an accidental discharge. Thankfully, it does not look like anyone was hurt.

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 – Barrel Explosion

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Barrel Explosion is just scary. While the barrel is designed to fail above a certain pressure these guys still could have been seriously hurt. This is a scary example of gun handling. This is how someone loses an eye (no safety glasses), a hand, or worse case their life.

These guys are not experienced gun owners. How do I know? Because they are leaning over the water with no eye protection! No Ear Protection! No way they expected this Barrel Explosion!

Eventually these guys are going to lose the play stupid games get hurt lottery.

What is the rule violation? Clearly this is a violation of Rule 1. Because putting a long gun barrel in the water does not qualify as a safe direction.

Lastly, be safe out there! Because if you keep rolling the dice like this eventually you are going to lose.

Bad Gun Handling – Shotgunning Whiskey

Leave a comment

Shotgunning Whiskey is never a good idea. Shotgunning Whiskey from an actual shotgun is just Bad Gun Handling. I am assuming that weapon is real, and was used at least once. That means powder and maybe cleaning solvents in that barrel. I use some heavy duty solvents to clean my shotguns. This is unsafe and bad practice on so many levels…

This is a clear violation of Rule 1. No way that weapon is being pointed in a safe direction when the barrel is in someone’s mouth! It is pictures like this that give all responsible shooters a bad reputation.

Bad Gun Handling – Trigger Discipline Example 1

This is Trigger Discipline Example 1. Trigger Discipline is the key to safe firearms handling.

FYI, if you turn the sound off this is NSFW.

So what did he do wrong? Dropped mag isn’t the end of the world – but leaving that finger on the trigger could have just killed the man in front of or next to him.

Bad Gun Handling – Properly Maintained And Serviced

Leave a comment

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.

Bad Gun Handling – Pregnant Posing

Leave a comment

Pregnant Posing with firearms is Bad Gun Handling. Guns aren’t toys for photoshoots.

Treat them with respect. They are not props. I don’t get why people feel the need to pose with their weapons? I hope these are not loaded, but I don’t have any way to know that for sure. In any case I don’t see how a pregnant woman double fisting assault rifles help push responsible gun ownership?

This is a clear violation of Rule 2. Using firearms as photoshoot props is not treating them like loaded weapons. The 2nd Amendment is clear. The people of the United States have the right to bear arms under a well regulated militia. To me, well regulated means mandatory training licenses, and insurance.
