Bad Gun Handling – Gun In Pants

Do not put a Gun In Pants! This is what holsters were made for. Sticking a firearm directly into your pocket or pants is Bad Gun Handling! I’ve seen so many clips of accidental discharges when the person doing this tries to pull the weapon out quickly.

Yeah, that’s why they make holsters. At least its a revolver so she’s less likely to accidentally shoot herself, but still…

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. Sticking a firearm down your pants is not treating it as if its loaded!

Bad Gun Handling – Boom

When a gun goes Boom it is not good for anyone nearby. This is just scary. I hope the shooter is okay. Very scary!

This scares the hell out of me.

I don’t know exactly what caused this, so I’m sorry if this turned out to be a freak accident due to bad gunsmithing or commercial ammo manufacturing.

So why did I include it here. Because there are a few causes that are more likely, and those are all user associated.

Did he set it barrel down? Is there debris stuck in the barrel?

Did he load is own ammo and was it over pressure?

Is the weapon well maintained? Is this the 100,000th round and the gun’s never been cleaned?

The bottom line, be careful so things like this are less likely to happen to you.

Bad Gun Handling – Why Risk It

Why Risk It? Why would you ever point a gun at your face like that? Take the weapon apart so the barrel and the trigger group are separate!

I think there are a ton of other ways to film this and examine the site picture without putting a gun in perfect alignment to your head. The only way I’m looking at a barrel is if its outside the weapon.

Sure, he probably cleared this gun, but you really should treat every firearm as if its loaded, all the time. If you need to examine a weapon like this, disassemble it so there is no way it can go off.

It only takes one moment of confusion to end in a tragedy.

Be safe out there people.

Bad Gun Handling – Too Much Kick

Firing a weapon with Too Much Kick can leave you with a cut on your forehead or worse. Bigger isn’t always better! I’d much rather have a shoot enjoy the day at the range instead of being scared to handle a firearm.

That looks like it hurt, and scared the pee out of him.

Don’t hand a new shooter a high powered hand gun.

It’s not going to end well.

Be save out there.

Bad Gun Handling – Cracked Skull

How is getting a Cracked Skull going to help this shooter learn to love the sport. Don’t hand new shooters weapons they can’t handle!

I don’t understand why people continue to hand weapons to shooters who don’t have the experience to handle them. That Cracked Skull could need stitches or could have put out an eye. Whoever handed that weapon to that girl didn’t do her any favors.

It’s bad for the shooter and all the rest of us.

Bad Gun Handling – 12G Pain

12G Pain is real and it is no fun! Why would you hand a new shooter a weapon that might hurt them? Don’t do it!

This is just bad, look at her face after she pulls that trigger. She’s in 12G Pain, and that just sucks.

To be clear, this isn’t her fault. She never should have been handed a 12G as a new shooter, and clearly she’s a new shooter, look at how she holds that weapon.

The butt isn’t on her shoulder and she’s not leaning into the kick.

Poor girl…

Bad Gun Handling – Masks And The Range

Masks And The Range do not go together. Not when the mask is a horses head. You need good visibility when shooting! I vote Neigh on this one.

First Strike:

Wearing something that restricts your vision like a horse mask while holding a loaded weapon just doesn’t make sense.

Second Strike:

Firing into a target at close range. Shrapnel anyone?

Third Strike:

No ear protection. I put an arrow on it to prove it:

Bad Gun handling – Safe Shooting

Safe Shooting means knowing what is in front of your weapon. It also means having a good understanding of how the weapon works. Safe Shooting means stopping and thinking about what you are doing so accidents don’t happen.

Stop, take a breath, think about what your about to do when you squeeze that trigger.

Don’t point your weapon as anything you don’t intend to destroy, in this case using your truck as a gun rest probably wasn’t such a good idea…

Bad Gun Handling – Kids & Guns

Kids & Guns are like oil and water. They should not mix unless you really intend them to go together. Which requires special attention.

Kids should only be allowed to handle firearms under close supervision, and just like any shooting, should always starts with small calibers with minimal kick.

This is just scary and wrong on so many levels. Kids & Guns should be trained with small calibers and careful safety instructions!

Bad Gun Handling – Belly Holster

The Belly Holster is not a thing. Don’t do it. It is Bad Gun Handling. Who wants belly jelly in their receiver? (Don’t google that.)

There are two major issues with this footage.

The first, and maybe the scariest is that the shooter on the left is behind the shooter on the left. All it would take is a little distraction and a round could be heading for his buddy.

The second thing wrong with this movie is that you should never use your gut as a holster. Ever. End of story.

So many chances for something to go horribly wrong here.

Stay say out there.
