Bad Gun Handling – 12g Pistol Grip

Leave a comment

Handing a novice shooter a 12g Pistol Grip is just Bad Gun Handling. I know people want to shoot the big guns that make the loudest noise sometimes. I get it. People see a ton of movies where people are double wielding shotguns. That is movie magic people! It’s not real! Gun owners and range owners have to make sure shooters don’t get hurt – because if they do get hurt they aren’t going to enjoy the sport.

I don’t blame this fellow, I blame whoever handed him that 12g.

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.

This is a clear violation of Rule 1. Is any direction safe when a shoot is handed a weapon they aren’t capable of handling?

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 – Eye Punch

Leave a comment

Do you want to get your eye removed via an Eye Punch? Because that is exactly what that scope is going to be if he pulls the trigger.

There is a lot going on in this picture, but the thing I’ll focus on is that finger on the trigger and that scope which is about to punch him in the eye.

Guns aren’t toys. Support mandatory gun safety courses for every shooter.

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…

This is a clear violation of Rule 1. Waving a pistol around the house is a clear violation of only pointing firearms in a safe direction.

Bad Gun Handling – Scope Cut

Leave a comment

Getting Scope Cut is no fun. This is how you get an interesting scar at best and lose an eye at worst. Overall, just scary.

What scares me is her finger is forward like she’s going for the trigger. Unless that is an air rifle she risks getting cut by that scope.

I don blame the shooter here. I am assuming someone handed her that weapon. They are the person to blame for this. It is also another great example of why basic safety and gun insurance should be a requirement for ownership. Whoever handed her that weapon should be liable for her eye surgery bill if she pulls that trigger.

Bad Gun Handling – Almost Lost His Head

Leave a comment

This guy Almost Lost His Head. Never, ever, look down the barrel of a weapon. Not unless you want to featured on Bad Gun Handling!

Never point a weapon at anything you don’t intend to destroy.

Treat every weapon as if its loaded.

This guy is so lucky he didn’t punch his ticket right then and there…

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 – You’ll Put Your Eye Out Kid

Leave a comment

This is how you turn a new gun enthusiast off of the sport. This is how you Put Your Eye Out. It is a scary example of Bad Gun Handling.

This image is a great example of why basic gun safety classes should be mandatory. It also a great ad for mandatory gun insurance. When she is hurt is it fair that her medical insurance will pay the cost? I don’t think so. The owner of that rifle should be responsible for whatever happens with it. That rifle should be covered under a mandatory firearms insurance policy so when people get hurt there is money to pay for damages.

Guns are not toys. Guns are not props for photo shoots. They are dangerous tools. Mishandle them and people will end up hurt.

Someone please take that rifle away from her…

Bad Gun Handling – Wrong Ammo

Leave a comment

Putting the Wrong Ammo into a firearm is just a bad idea. Will it go off? Who knows – but if it does you are clearly in big trouble.

I’m hoping that is a dummy .50, but even if it is this is just bad. If someone else tries this and its not, and that hammer accidentally falls this is could end up in tragedy.

Be safe out there. Guns aren’t toys.
