Why? What's so fucked up about it? If more people sought advice and knowledge BEFORE buying firearms, then there would be less accidents. Anyone who is considering owning a gun should be asking these questionstoad857 wrote:wow... some fucked up shit in here...
Guns are dangerous, and an uneducated gun owner is a scary thing.
If you have a problem with guns in general, think of it like a total gumby buying a trad rack and heading to El Cap. A little knowledge goes a long way.

I've been a gun owner for years and have only accidentally discharged a firearm once. But protocal being what it is, it was a safe "unexpected" discharge. (broken extractor)
The biggest thing that I constantly see people doing is sweeping acoss their partners bodies with the muzzle. The training that I went through if you "swept" someone you would wake up on the ground with a knot on the back of your head. Definately a no-no.

If you give a man a match, he'll be warm for a minute. If you set him on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

my friend just got a shotgun for her birthday. supposedly for killing gophers in her yard. even in montana i don't think it is legal to shoot a shotgun in your yard. there are a lot of "society as we know it is collapsing" people here and i bet that's the real story behind the gift. but still, even with gophers, or zombies, double tap.
Clevis is absolutely right about the safety thing. Too many gun owners exhibit abysmal gun handling skills. I've had my lower leg/foot region "swept" on more than one occasion by hunting partners who thought they were very safe gun handlers. I've even found myself starring down the barrel of a gun due to clueless gun handling. Needless to say, these are people that I no longer hunt with.
A good visual exercise is to pretend there is a "death ray" projecting from the barrel of your firearm at all times. Sort of like a light saber that is infinite in length. If it touches something, it's dead. If you can't can't handle a gun without pointing it at people, then you just shouldn't have one.

There is no such thing as a gun that is good for home defense. The most likely use for such a weapon is against someone that lives there. Simple facts. If you want it for target shooting and playing around, that's fine, put a lock on it when you're not planning on shooting it. But if you're going to keep an unlocked gun in your house the chances you will use it in self defense are almost zero while the chances that gun will kill someone you love are substantial.
