Idiots With Guns #51



The purpose of Idiots with Guns is not to humiliate, but to educate. Over the years we have seen photos of people who, upon picking up a gun, just cannot resist pointing it at something they should not, with their finger on the trigger. This is usually the camera, another person, or themselves. These photos are often difficult to google up, because of the pages they are shown on. If you have archived any of these photos, feel free to send them in to bayouroversATjamDOTrrDOTcom

The Four Rules
1. All firearms are always loaded
2. Never let the muzzle of a firearm point at anything you are not willing to destroy
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot
4. Be sure of your target and what is behind it

  4. I really wish people could be identified in videos like this and prosecuted. If people can be charged with reckless driving, then why can't they be charged with wreck-less handling of a firearm?

    So do you actually find these people and educate them (via e-mail or sending a link to this entry), or what? If not, you're not educating anyone but everyone who reads your blog..mostly people who already know and practice the four rules.

  7. Geeze. Had someone pointed a weapon at me like that, I'd have shoved it so far up their backside that they'd need a kevlar hankerchief. How stupid can people be? On second thought, don't answer that. I work network suppoert...

  8. Cats and dogs don't like sharp mechanical sounds. My mom's dog always cried when dad would chamber a round in his shotgun, and my cat always meows at me when I release the slide on my pistol.

  9. My first thoughts were, "Oh f*ck, someone's gonna get a face full of shot," and took off my headphones expecting a report.

    Geez, what a dip-dunk.

  10. I couldn't bear to watch the whole thing expecting the poor dog to get it. Still shots are one thing, video really brings it home.efikwjqo

You don't even have to use your name, make something up so the next person can address your comment without confusion.
