Don’t EVER dry fire someone else’s firearm.
Don’t EVER touch someone else’s motorcycle without their approval.

Important etiquette everyone should know.

What I appreciated the most is that even though they clearly had all those firearms set up beforehand, EVERY TIME either of them touched one, they CLEARED IT THEMSELVES. Even if the other guy just had!

Firearm safety rule #1: EVERY GUN IS TO BE TREATED AS LOADED WHEN YOU PICK IT UP UNTIL YOU CLEAR IT YOURSELF AT THAT TIME!!!

Plus, they STILL were careful about where they pointed the firearms AFTER they cleared them.

Well done!!!

They note that some guns are okay, but others should never be dry fired. Glocks are fine (it’s part of the dis-assembly process, anyways), while antique firearms should never be dry fired.

I took the Gray Guns course. Those of us with the Sig P226 were advised to practice by dry firing. Bud said if we were able to damage the pistol by dry firing, he would personally pay for the repairs.

Fuggedaboutit with a rimfire ANYthing, though...

Here’s a neat cleaning tip for shotgunners: Take a spent 12 ga. shell, cut the brass off the shell casing, knock the primer out of the middle, push your cleaning rod thru the center hole and fit it into the bore of the gun. The brass keeps the rod centered so it doesn’t scrape the edge of the bore chamber......
