He is not.

Horrific. Le's stop treating guns as toys you know because they are loaded, always.

I watched a video he supposedly released two weeks ago. first off, it was typical new country, second, I get that it was just a song, but it kinda gave me the impression the dude had some issues, he was holding a revolver to his chin in the video.

My guess was NAA mini.

Tragic

You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

How about we just start handling guns safely instead? Then we won’t have to pretend they’re loaded all the time. Eliminate “I didn’t think it was loaded” as an excuse by shifting the focus to keeping firearms pointed in a safe direction. ALWAYS.

You better treat them as loaded or you will handle them with contempt and people will shoot themselves in the head because they have such low regard for unloaded guns.

First rule is first for a reason.

"I am handling the gun safely, it is unloaded" get people shot, in the head, a lot, just read INGO.

We had a Dummy down here in Wal-Mart a few years back shot his wife scratching the palm of his hand with the hammer. Explain that “Accident “

#1 and long recognized as the golden rule of gun handling:

ALWAYS Keep The Gun Pointed In A Safe Direction


Some folks still list this one as #2, but not for any good reasons.

It happens more than we know.

Yup. I doubt that one could go to any gun show without being muzzle-swept a dozen times. But, of course, we know all those guns are unloaded.

Only the ignorant hold in low regard and handle "unloaded" guns with "contempt". A firearm has only one job: to launch a projectile from the barrel. "Treat" (a.k.a. "handle") ALL guns keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction ALWAYS and nobody gets shot.

TEACH better, LEARN better. How about "I am handling the gun safely, because it is a gun"?

Should we draw down on them and say "Your move"? Legend has it Clint Smith or Col. Cooper did. I'll try to find a citation.

Just don't do it! It doesn't matter if it's loaded, unloaded, or what you think it is. It's a firearm until you render it inoperative (i.e. disassemble it). Maintain muzzle and trigger awareness ALWAYS.

And remember, the SAFEST direction may be pointed at a bad guy.

I had hoped we would have more details on this by now. Anyone seeing any updates?

Unreal. Leaving behind two kids.
