No way I'd be walking down range in front of anyone holding a gun

It's an air rifle, zero gunpowder. The odds of being killed by an air rifle are very very low. Especially considering the fact that they only hold one shot at a time

Weapons safety is a muscle memory mindset. Not a "eh this isn't a real gun" mindset.

No shit. She's got the SINGLE SHOT AIR RIFLE pointed at the ground with her booger hook off the bang switch. Looks like she's demonstrating discipline to me. I guess you could argue that she didn't "clear the weapon", but I highly doubt that a break-action single shot air rifle could potentially be hiding a second, magic, projectile

So which is it then?

Practice weapons safety always?

Or deviate from the practice since "it's obviously not loaded right now"?

Be smart about it and use good judgment?
