Unloaded gun??

[Guest crotalus01]

I stick strictly to the gun safety rules, and I would never point a gun at a target I did not intend to destroy.

Having said that, if I personally remove the magazine, rack the slide, and inspect the barrel - the gun is unloaded.

An unloaded gun has NEVER shot anyone, because it is physically incapable of doing so.

People are human, they screw up and THINK or ASSUME a gun is unloaded (mistake 1). They POINT the gun (intentionally or not) at a target they do not wish to destroy (mistake 2). The booger hook is on the bang switch (mistake 3).

Remove any one of those mistakes and a ND shooting is avoided. Remove ALL of those mistakes and you are a responsible and safe gun handler/owner.

Gotta admit... No matter how many times you see it, it is still HILARIOUS! Wonder if he quit the DEA to open a handgun safety/ self defense school... Seeing how he is so qualified wit his Glock Fowtee..

What's amazing is this guy continued to try and give his talk after firing. I like when he says, "Now see, I probably won't ever be able to show guns again."

Nawww, really?

"Always assume the gun is loaded."

When handling a gun, I always remove the mag and check the chamber (even if told or shown it's empty). I went into a gun shop the other day, and was surprised the clerk didn't drop the mag and pull the slide as any other store has. I have just always thought it "common courtesy" for them to show you it's not loaded. And wordsworth, that is my belief also..."Always assume the gun is loaded."

+1. NEVER trust anyone elses word. Too simple not to check yourself.

Not much funny about this clip - the gentleman assumed a leadership and authoritarian role without satisfying the all of the prerequisites.

Dereliction of Duty with Gross Negligence would be the charge.
