Even Range "Safety" Officers Aren't Always

10/21/2023

Don't learn gun safety from someone who is unsafe.  I saw this short clip on X recently and cringed the whole time because of the unsafe gun handling.   Thankfully no one got hurt.

In the first screenshot below, notice the instructor's trigger finger and the direction the gun is pointed - he's breaking two of the NRA's three rules for safe gun handling.  The second screen shot shows the pistol after it goes off and the recoil makes it almost point at the shooter's head!  

Every course I teach starts with the three NRA rules for safe gun handling:
  • ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction
  • ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot
  • ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use

It is definitely disappointing to see a firearms instructor showing such an unsafe demonstration.  Gun training and shooting should be 100% safe.  If you feel unsafe, leave.
