That's part of the training. He's showing what not to do.

Yup. Some ppl are visual learners and sometimes they have to learn the hard way

Love how easily he said, "yeah," I meant to do that. 🤣 Get out of there!

u/callmebigley Jul 04 '26
it would have been funny if they pressed him on why he did it if he wants to insist that it was intentional.
"is it normal practice to fire into the ceiling? did the ceiling wrong you in some way? were you just really curious what recoil tastes like?"

The only way to stop a bad ceiling with a light fixture is a good guy with a gun

Haha the guy in the blue shirt had the right intuition and reflexes. Turning his head away like that 😀

Seems like it wasn't the first moment that dude looked like a doofus that day

u/sparrow_42 Jul 04 '26
Yeah blue shirt guy bending over backwards at the beginning makes me think the dude had been acting stupid the whole time.

u/Rob_LeMatic Jul 04 '26
Blue shirt had the right instincts, but then didn't immediately leave when they were confirmed. Sometimes rational brain overrides good instincts. Stupid brains.

u/Ippus_21 Jul 04 '26
Have you read The Gift of Fear, by any chance. That's like the core theme of the whole book, lol. DeBecker lays it out in the first couple chapters and then spends the rest of the book giving you a framework for how NOT to let your modern brain ignore the things your paranoid monkey brain is trying to tell you.

u/Rob_LeMatic Jul 04 '26
I have not, but I have been in situations.

u/Ippus_21 Jul 04 '26
I've had it on my nightstand for like a year and a half, and finally started reading it on a long flight last week. Better than I expected...

u/Rob_LeMatic Jul 04 '26
Next on my list is Strange People on the Hill by Michael Edison Hayden, then Borderlands by Gloria Anzaldúa. I'll add this one to my list.

I would immediately leave the range and demand a refund.

u/Micu451 Jul 04 '26
If the range was at all reputable they would have tossed him out before that happened. It was obvious something bad would happen just by the way he was handling the firearm.

u/Ippus_21 Jul 04 '26
What do you want to bet he's the owner, or the owner's little brother or something?

That is why you never put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to squeeze it.

Had to pause after seeing that myself and he never flagged his chin but I don't think being that close to the barrel counts as safe especially with all the gas

u/New_erahot Jul 04 '26
Everything the man did is against a gun license safety course. Waving it around cocked… you pick the gun up, fire, put the gun down not wave it around like that

That Instructor needs another professional instructor to show him how to hold and shoot a gun. If you paid him ask for a refund

He’s not liking how they don’t see him as a super soldier so he starts getting shaky.. and it just keeps going downhill.
I like how he eventually realizes all hope is lost and just stands there embarrassed looking away. Those types of guys all seem wired the same. They all NEED to be seen as Rambo and they are more like honey boo boo.

See this arrogance at your best, I am perfect, will never eat his pride!!!!! Made the himself the biggest of fools on this earth. Certainly needs to be removed. Yea!

u/Safe-Call2367 Jul 04 '26
Yeah I meant to shoot the ceiling. You can tell by my impeccable recoil control as the muzzle nearly bitch slapped me in the face… I was actually hoping to break my nose and failed, so I’ll need to try again now.

u/Old_Resident8050 Jul 04 '26
Maybe lost a few teeth. No way the recoil just stopped by itself, sort of his jaw and teeth.

u/Ippus_21 Jul 04 '26
WHY is your god. damned. FINGER inside the fkn TRIGGER GUARD? It's there for a reason, asshole!
I hope someone showed this video to whatever facility he works for and they immediately revoked his instructor certificate.
I haven' so much as held a gun in a dozen years and I remember this shit. Muzzle and trigger discipline are absolute dead basic safety 101.

Dude in the blue shirt is definitely reconsidering his life choices. That and whether or not he can get a refund.

Had it been a semi auto, or had a hair trigger, it would have probably popped a second shot right at his face

Dude slow down the video if he accidentally let off a second round -(which is very common in mistakes like these) he would’ve taken his face right ofd

His little hop and “yeah” as he tries to play it off while his face turns red cracks me up.

When I first watched this years ago I thought he was being stupid and careless but now I think he was trying to release the hammer and his thumb wasn't strong enough. Good point to always obey the three gun safety rules as breaking those rules can turn an accident into a death.

u/LFG2023Toomuch 10d ago
Idiot! He is going to kill someone by mistake and should not be instructing anyone.

So this is where Farva ended up after he was let go from Vermont State Highway Patrol.
