Think of this assclown as the anti-hickock45; a complete imbecile who fails basic weapon safety at every level. Missed Darwin Category by about maybe 3 inches it looks.



Holy SHIT!!!!

Words escape me?!?!? It's no wonder uninformed (non-gun owners) have a problem with guns. It is just unbelievable the level of stupidity. WTF!!!

I grew up with guns although until recently didn't own one. I'm now an owner but I wouldn't do that with a TOY let alone a real live firearm.

He truly did miss his calling as a Darwin Award winner :o :(

I cant see why, its not my, or anyone's problem, if the nitwit de jure is such a fuckup he blows his own face off by violating every single tenant of firearms safety and handling.

Hickock has a very good vid on topic

It's always loaded
Never point it at anything you not willing to destroy
Never put your finger on the trigger until you are going to shoot
Always keep the barrel pointed downrange

And as he says, if I have my hands on it, I KNOW its unloaded or cleared; now I put it down, its not. This why you see him clearing the Glocks and assorted other automatic pistols all the time-- its not a fetish or habit, its just good practice

The four rules I follow, in order of importance:
1. Barrel in a safe direction. No matter what happens as long as the business end isn't pointed at something important the worst will be avoided.

2. Finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot. This is the one I see violated most often. Keep said booger picker outside the trigger guard, resting
against the frame to the weapon, unless you're actively shooting the weapon.

3. Before you put it down and immediately upon picking it up, clear the weapon. Pull the mag, run the bolt, pump the slide, etc, do whatever it is you
have to do with that particular make/model to ensure there isn't a shell under the hammer. If you don't know how to do this with a particular weapon, for
example if you're browsing at a gun show, ASK. No one will give you shit about being safe.

4. RTFM (Read The Fucking Manual). Know how to clean and inspect the weapon and check it for defects. Catastrophic malfunctions are rare but almost always involve defective parts that should have been replaced long before they failed or maintenance that wasn't done properly.

Firearm "accidents" have a lot in common with plane crashes. They're rarely if ever the result of a single error, it's chain of mistakes that when lined up just right result in tragedy. Billy Bob has a bad habit of keeping his finger on the trigger when he's walking around at the range. This in itself is not terribly dangerous, but then one day Billy Bob done forgot to empty his mag and got careless swinging his rifle around, and at the same time tripped, resulting in a UD that blew a way the kid standing next to him. Don't be Billy Bob.

Exact

Search youtube for "firearms accidents" and the hits are mix of tragi-comedy and just luck. The one with the "I'm the only one professional enough here to handle this..." cop in class one is a mind numbing beauty, who immediately after uttering that, blows a hole in his leg :roll: Aside from the boneheaded dialed up to 11 on the meter, if its a class , why the hell, you imbecile, couldnt you just use a dummy or prop gun for demo? Or maybe, performing the extraordinary procedure of UNLOADING the damn weapon before going into class? Sigh

Whoopies......see that's where that keeping your finger off the trigger thing comes in handy. Also why up in the air is safer then down at the ground.....you won't shoot yourself in the leg that way.

Magpul Goodies. Two Gen II PMags and a Maglink. Was never a fan of magazine connectors like this because they always seemed so flimsy, not so with this setup. Rock solid.

Reminds me of the scene from the SImpsons movie where the police chief was eating donuts off his gun barrel and almost blew his head off.
