So you never put your finger on the trigger of a weapon unless you're about to fire it? If that's your claim I call B.S. There is nothing wrong w/ putting your finger on the trigger, or even dropping the hammer as long as you clear every weapon you pick up every time you pick it up.
You guys never had a buddy bring his new pistol over and tell you to check out the sweet trigger? So you clear it, point at the ground, and drop the hammer? Never?
I don't put my finger on the trigger unless I am ready to fire and that includes dry firing. What you're describing is not what he's doing and he's creating a bad example of gun handling that the ignorant who watch his video may emulate. I can think of an exception for cowboy twirling because they use single actions.
Anon, I tend to agree. If you clear a weapon every time you pick it up or it changes hands, there cannot be any problem, but those around you may not know that you've done so. The 4 rules are also a courtesy to others.
Jeez, dude, come on.
Love the collection he's got, HATE the booger hook on the bang switch while handling, ceptin' of course while he's actually shooting.
ReplyDeleteOne thing's for sure - no one will notice except actual shooters.
ReplyDeleteThe anti's think that this execrable gun handling is OK. Since they base everything on movieland reality, it does little harm.
Too bad he sets such a bad example for real safety-oriented gun owners.
BTW - good wording for the song, David.
Except now I can't get it out of my mind..."I like guns, I like the way they look - I just need to learn about my booger hook..."
Since I listened to the song, I can't get it outta my mind.
Perhaps your lyrics, coupled with the video, can be used as a training tool.
