Bad Gun Handling – Props

Guns are not Props! Using a weapon in any “fun” photoshoot is just a bad idea. It creates the risk of an accidental discharge and makes responsible gun owners look bad.

Is this a prop or is this the only way she could get him down the aisle?

In either case, guns aren’t toys and shouldn’t be used as props.

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:

  1. Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
  2. Treat all guns as loaded at all times.
  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 2. You don’t point a loaded weapon at your spouse!

Bad Gun Handling – Wedding Props

Firearms are not Wedding Props! This is so bad on so many levels. She’s pointing a weapon at the camera. He’s pointing a weapon at her legs!

Guns aren’t Wedding Props people. This is how someone gets hurt, and how safe, respectful gun owners get hurt by those who don’t follow the rules.

Bad Gun Handling – Face Holster

A Face Holster is a bad idea. The weapon is pointed at his own chest and if he makes a mistake drawing he could blow his own head off.

This is just a bad idea on so many levels.

Firearms aren’t props. They aren’t toys. This could end up badly for the gentleman wearing the Face Holster. It could also end up badly for anyone around him if this goes poorly.

Bad Gun Handling – Accidental Discharge

This Accidental Discharge is a direct result of not following rules one, two and three! Don’t play with firearms! I really hope no one was upstairs when this happened.

This fellow forgot the golden rule. Treat every weapon as if it were loaded.

He then pumps the shotgun with the trigger held down, which is what we call a slamfire where I am from.

Be safe out there.

Bad Gun Handling – Toy Like Guns

Toy Like Guns are not cute. They are scary. This increases the chances a child is going to reach for that weapon. Don’t do this!

Do I even have to explain why this is a bad idea?

Toy Like Guns could end up with a kid reaching for it because they think its a toy. This could end up in tragedy on so many levels.

Bad Gun handling – Scary AK Play

This is some Scary AK Play. It would be so easy for someone to get hurt. I can only hope those AK’s aren’t loaded. If they are that just makes this a hundred times more dangerous.

AK’s and dual piggy back rides don’t mix…ever.

Bad Gun Handling – Too Timid

Handing a Too Timid shooter a large caliber gun is just an epic display of Bad Gun Handling. The shooter is not going to have a good time.

This is how you break a nose or worse.

If you are going to hand someone a pistol, start them with a .22 first, and then make sure you show them the Weaver Stance, and only load a single shot in the clip until they are more comfortable. Not doing this can turn a Too Timid shooter into someone who never wants to go to the range again.

Giving a new user a .45 and not giving them instruction is a sure way to turn someone off the sport forever…

Bad Gun Handling – Down The Barrel

Never look Down The Barrel of a weapon unless its disassembled and triple checked as cleared. Don’t end up as a splatter on a mirror.

Thumb on the trigger? Looking down the barrel of a 45?

Don’t do this. If you need to inspect the barrel, unload the weapon, remove the slide, and examine the barrel with a bore scope. If you really need to? Because why else would you be trying to look down the barrel?

Be safe, be well, and don’t handle firearms if you don’t know how to do so safely.

Bad Gun Handling – Beer And Guns

Beer And Guns do not mix. Ever. End of story. Go shooting, then enjoy a bear. After. Put on a wedding dress if you want! You know, if you are feeling pretty.

just don’t mix guns and booze at the same time. It makes all responsible gun owners look bad.

Beer And Guns don’t ever go together, especially at a wedding?

Bad Gun Handling – Muzzle Swept

Being Muzzle Swept is a scary thing. Triply so if its a new shooter who may not have good trigger discipline either.

I don’t blame her, someone put a very dangerous rifle in her hands, and didn’t give her proper instruction.

Or at least that’s what it looks like to me.

Be careful out there…
