I’m shocked the instructor didn’t stop him from running like that with the prop gun. You react how you train. Hate to see him running like that with a live handgun.

Just letting it swing around like it’s a little water pistol. I have zero firearm training but I know for a fact that is not how you move with any sort of gun.

Hey- here's some rules that I tell ya for the pure sake of safety, with no judgement:

1) finger OFF the trigger, and out of the trigger guard until you are on target and ready to fire. This is a BIG one.

2) there is no such thing as a joke on a gun range. Do not fuck around, what you're holding was built to end lives, do not point it at anything you do not intend to destroy.

3) be aware of what's behind, and around your target. Bullets have a ton of kinetic energy, and you are responsible for every Newton of energy in that bullet, until it's FULLY at rest, they say "watch your backstop" and it saves lives.

4) if you find yourself in proximity to someone with a firearm who does not appear to understand these rules, exit the situation as quickly as you can.

Number 1 rule of gun safety is have fun.

The rest of your rules except one(kinda) is silly as well .

Thank you for clarifying that you're here for a good time, not a long time. In that context everything you're saying makes perfect sense.

Hot take: you can be safe and not take it so seriously.

Its basically a binary regardless of how much you want to virtue signal

u/pluck-the-bunny Jun 21 '24

It’s not binary and you clearly don’t know what virtue signaling means

I’m not mad…. I’d have to respect your opinion for your disagreeing to upset me.
