I'm not your borescope

So when I'm shopping next to you, I shouldn't be looking down the barrel of that rifle you just picked up on the used gun rack.

You mean the one with a closed bolt and finger in trigger guard?

You guys are shopping at the same dam gun stores I’m at. Maybe some many gun ACCIDENTS would’ve not happened if people knew the basic gun handling 10 commandments. Sorry for my rant also.

The bolt was definitely closed because he never opened it.

Punch em in the face for pointing a gun at you. I would!

I'd settle for the golden rule of gun safety - just don't point it at anything important. Nobody dies if the gun is always pointed somewhere safe.

There was a woman across the rack carrying a baby. I'd rather it be pointed at me than them - but that's not saying much.

I was sitting across a CBP pilot at a restaurant and as pilots do he had his pistol in a shoulder holster. One of the locals at the table behind him turned around to look at us and when he saw the .40 caliber hole peeking out towards him his eyes got twice as big and his jaw dropped! He then turned around and moved his seat to the side.

Apparently the guy has never been in the service or a firearm safety class or sleep through it....lol

Extend nearest hand to firmly direct muzzle in a saf(er) direction. "Pardon me but attempted manslaughter is a zero tolerance matter"

They THINK it can't be loaded , I have been handed loaded guns that were unloaded a bunch in my 51 years... Recently at a gun range by a guy who wanted me to look at his lever action and removed all but the last shell and was talking about how important gun safety is.... Once I got handed a loaded spas-12 at a gun show after two other people looked at it and waived it around , I was the only one who checked it , people thought , well it can't be loaded , a gun dealer handed it to me at a big gun show. It was loaded with one round of 00 buck in the pipe and four more in the gun... I check every gun I pick up... Period.. As you can see alot don't and people are dumb... Don't think it's not loaded just because it's at a store or gun show etc...

I worked in a gun store for nearly ten years.

Guns being pointed at people is a completely unavoidable problem. It’s a crappy problem, but unless it boils down to one person at a time handling a gun in the store, which would suck for business and shopping, it’s a problem that hopefully an employee addresses when they can or as a customer you police it on your own.

Next time make sure you aren’t wearing your “official crown inspector” t-shirt.

On a serious note I spent over a decade working and managing an LGS and every gun that came out of the case or off the rack was cleared and left bolt, slide or chamber locked open before ever handing it to a customer. They were also cleared every time they were handed back to us. No exceptions. The store owner made it clear that it was one of the terms of employment.

I wore a Miami Classic shoulder rig with a 92FS in it for years......Talk about Muzzle Sweeping...

My local range scares me a bit on Sat. afternoons when the AR's all hit the range......Pre hunting season sucks too.

 

[BenPerfected]

Good reason not to go to the range on Saturdays. Does your range offer & require mandatory safety training for all shooters? Should they?

[R.Morehouse]

I only go in the mornings during the week. Not many people local to me see shooting equip. like we use so I spend more time than I like playing " Show & Tell". Mandatory safety training ends up being more like having to check the " I Agree" box online if there isn't a R.O. there to keep the kids in line......But I do think the safety training is a good idea.....If you have them check the " I Agree" box when the training is complete it is easier to give them the boot.

Gun safety is mostly common sense. if you are expecting common sense from the "masses" don't hold your breath. drive down I95 on any given day and it is painfully obvious

 

[pirate ammo]

Get on I35 in Austin,Tx most of the time,,posted speed 65mph,,actual speed 15mph,maybe.

The layouts of some stores almost prohibit this though, rows and rows of guns, and everyone needs to aim out the front window. Having all firearms in cases or behind counters is sometimes not doable.
In todays atmosphere, I'd have a triggers locked, bolts tied down, but that is a major turn off also. So many nut cases that would put a live rd in a gun and walk off.
Gun shows and LGS have never been my thing, so no expert, but damn, sweeping someone in a store not good.

If there is a gun and more than one person present, I think it is my responsibility to be observant and watch out for myself. I am also not afraid to say something. Anywhere I go today, I try to be aware of the people and my surroundings. I have seen people in gun stores that I don't want to be around under any circumstances. So you are not likely to see me near them to begin with.
