FFS I can watch you clear a firearm and the first thing I will do is clear it when handed to me or I pick it up at the range.
Always assume it’s loaded. It’s not hard.
same. people think they’re smarter than themselves.
How do we make people feel stupid again?!
Rubics cube without google and you don’t know how to solve it.
lobotomy?
See they would be stupider, but I’m not sure they’d gain any level of awareness.
In the social media age it seems like everyone’s opinion seems just as valid, so there’s no reality check on how dumb you actually are.
It’s like how you think you can fight, then go to an MMA gym and get man handled and then come to realization you can’t fight at all.
so lobotomy at an mma gym then
Acts and prove, acts and prove.
I’m not a gun person so maybe I was just fooled by a video. I also probably don’t use the right terms so forgive me.
But it was awhile back; one video I saw of a guy showing how he was clearing the chamber of a pistol. Pulled it back from a full clip and counted each one. He counted 8 (which was expected for the size). Kept clearing it while nothing came out. Asked the viewer “Clear? Nope. Did you notice what’s wrong”?
Pulls the gun back to show the bullet still visually in the chamber.
Apparently it was a pistol with a recall or common issue of not correctly clearing the last round. He had an additional bullet chambered at the start so he counted the clip size but the pistol had 9 rounds initially with one still completely capable of firing at the end.
Like, he literally pulled it back and cleared it like 20 additional times. Bullet still just sitting there at the end.
Will try to find the video.
Yeah, it sounds like a malfunction. It should clear by racking the slide until nothing comes out, but ALWAYS verify by checking the chamber.
Every gun you see is always loaded.
This is clearly a lie, but is a useful lie that if you live by will make yourself as well as others safer around guns.
Better way to word it is: “Treat every gun as if it is loaded”
Take a bullet, leave a bullet
I can’t tell you how many times this has saved me at checkout.
Wow you must encounter some really aggressive cashiers
Rule #0 of firearm safety: Trust no one.
not even myself from an hour ago! or 5 minutes ago! Every single time one is picked up it is checked
What the fuck are Americans doing?
I ask myself this everyday
American things.
Ammmeeeeriiiiicaaaaa
My gun and I are always loaded so I would not be going to that store.
Why would you not go to the store that is checking every firearm they handle to see if it’s loaded? If you are handing your weapon to someone else and they aren’t checking to see if it’s loaded, you’re in the wrong place.
