He was waving that thing around way to much for my comfort. I would have walked out early.

[Geronimo]

Did the muzzle flip hit him in the face?...damn close if it didn’t, wanker was on amphetiamines or something, slow down...

[tophat9000]

Ok that guy is dangerous ....did you see at the start when he was waving around the gun and that other guy had to get out of the way?

[headstamp 2]

Next time try using an unloaded gun for the demonstration.

A little to full of himself.

[jazusamo]

Looks like that was from 2010, I wonder if he’s killed himself or anyone else since that.

I saw that the other day, there was another one a few months ago of an instructor showing the dude how the laser works, he waves his hand in front of it...

BAM!! lol... blew his fingers off... sure was a lot of blood...

[Lazamataz]

Oh yes, he meant to do that.

That’s why the firearm was pointed at the roof of the range, and why his face went bright red.

[right way right]

This guy should have been ejected from the range and told to never come back.
That was an accidental discharge.

[bigbob]

Guy’s an idiot

[Freemeorkillme]

Wow. Yeah. His whole rushed approach and extracurricular muzzle waving. Yeah. Wow.

[teeman8r]

the dead guy on the second floor won’t be discovered for days...

Many years ago I was shooting at the Koko Head municipal range near Honolulu when an older, small Japanese gentleman showed up at the firing point next to me. He opened a long box and unwrapped a brand new Model 29 S&W .44 Mag with an 8 inch barrel and then struggled to open a box of Remington ammo.

He asked me if I would load it for him - it was at that point that I realized that he was completely new shooter and he had picked the "most powerful handgun in the world" to start out.

I opened his pistol and slowly loaded it, explaining to him that it has powerful recoil and I asked him if he would like me to fire it for him first, to show how to hold it and fire it.

He indignantly refused and said that he would fire his own pistol. He aimed it, cocked the hammer, and slowly squeezed - Wham! - and then slowly lowered the pistol, opened the cylinder, dumped out the rounds, put the rounds back into their box, wrapped the pistol in its paper and put it in its box. At that point, I saw that he was bleeding from where the hammer had hit him between the eyes during full recoil.

I warned him!

When I took the basic firearms class at an indoor gun range, the instructor pointed out a big hole in the ceiling tiles. He said it was from when a police instructor was demonstrating how to load a shotgun.

[Billthedrill]

Whoa, that guy is good - picked off a sprinkler head without even sighting. RO's just love guys like that.

Me, I'd have beat feet just as soon as he started waving a loaded gun around outside the stall. Frikkin' moron.

[FlipWilson]

Son, careless, drunk and a firearms instructor is no way to go through life.

[DoughtyOne]

Saw a number of folks say the gun should have been unloaded first. I wouldn’t argue with that idea.

To me, there is no such thing as an unloaded gun. The stakes are too high to think in other terms.

Many a person has died, or been severely injured by a person with a gun who thought it was unloaded. Just don’t do it. Don’t think of it as unloaded, EVER!

Never point a gun at anything you don’t want to kill, maim, damage, or destroy.

Don’t wave it through a plain with people in the path of the muzzle. Ever! Never do it.

Point the thing at the ground at all times. If you’re in a home with people in other rooms, don’t point it in the general direction of them.

Point it toward the edge of the floor by the wall if people are below. If there’s an empty room, point the gun in that direction, again, at the floor.

If someone is not following these rules, leave. Get up and get you and your loved ones as far away from them as you can in short order. If it is their home, leave. If it’s your home, ask for the gun back if it’s yours, and if it’s theirs ask them to put the gun in their car at once. If they don’t want to, ask them to leave.

The only real experience I've ever had with firearms was Fort Knox,1969 (BCT).I can imagine what SSG Freehauf would have said if anything like that happened to any of *us*.

[LouAvul]

Lifelong gunner here. It's amazing what kind of idiots who masquerade as "firearms instructors." My teacher for my CCW license was the worst. He was a wealth of misinformation and nonsense. Literally, picture Cliff Claven. He even showed up at the range for the practical portion of the class in his postal uniform.

I just wanted my certificate and then I was out.
