Firearms Safety

(1/3) > >>

bullit:
I wanted to throw in a gripe (and in fine military tradition provide a solution).  Having recently attended the Fremont and Millard Gun Shows, I am continually amazed at the number of knuckleheads and knuckleheadettes when it comes to firearms safety.  I lost count of the number of times I observed "pick up gun, insert finger in trigger guard".  I find myself ducking and dodging more and more.  Frankly, in this day and age, this is unacceptable. 
Solution:  PLEASE....NFOA members educate/remind your family and friends of the rules of SAFE firearms handling (even if they see a plastic tie in the action/cylinder).  Remind yourselves of the same.  Exhibitors, a friendly reminder from you is in order, too.
Thanks for your time.....

Hermit:
Seconded.  See it all the time at shows. Saw it at Millard this weekend as well. 

FarmerRick:
Amen, brother!!

Did you notice Rob A. of Exeter Arms cringing from the sound of multiple idiots finger-f@*&ing and repeatedly dry firing his 2 H&K MK23's(over $2k each) he had on display at the Millard show?  I wouldn't have even had them on display there, or at least had them in a protective case of some sort.

The level of stupidity of some of the people that come through the doors still amazes me.  ::)

Wow, respect to him for not throwing fists over the Mk23 thing.

A-FIXER:
Zoinks, as the cartoon scobbiedo would say, it no wonder more haven't got more signs out reading no touching the firearms, I agree with all the above. Education of safety is key to all things knowing you don't point at what you don't want to kill and LEAVE YOU MITT'S OFF OF THE TRIGGER.
