Must still be winter in New England. Some of you seem a bit grumpy with each other.

loaded.
Every person is not.
You realize that "every gun is always loaded" is just a saying meant to emphasize a point, not the truth, right?
In gun safety, we deal in absolutes. Every gun is ALWAYS loaded. You NEVER point a gun at something you're not willing to destroy. It's not, "it's okay that I pointed a gun at you, it wasn't loaded." There is no gray area.

Sometimes, in a crowded gun shop it is almost impossible not to muzzle sweep someone as you are showing the gun, however people should use due diligence. Even under those circumstances, if I don't find a safe spot, I point the gun down (hoping there is nobody in the basement )
However the biggest difference is that in a gun store as opposed to a range is that there is no open ammo in the close proximity and the gun has not been recently shot. Not that it makes a difference, but there is an added level of safety by ensuring that.
Ive always been able to maneuver a gun so it was not pointed at anyone in a gun shop. All it takes is awareness and a willingness to make the extra effort
Either lay down the ****ing law or don't go shooting with him.
Who the **** cares if you live there for free. Doesn't do shit for you if you're dead.

Why is driving a car not deadly enough?This
If you want to compare it to other activities, compare it to parachute jumping, flying, or perhaps scuba diving. Not driving a car.

I give you that.I disagree.
Those other activities only put you at risk, with your own permission.
Driving a car drunk puts others at risk, same as pointing a gun at them.
Edited..Can't take them seriously when they wear a dress and ****ing pom pom's on their sissy shoes.
shoot him first, because it sounds like this guy is on track to shoot you.
seriouspost: explain to him exactly why he's a retard. unless it's after a blatant safety violation, be cool about it. i've only yelled at someone once and it was because when i turned around from where i was standing there was a 1911 pointed upward at my face. i did not take kindly to that. you need to sit down with this kid and explain to him that he's a danger to himself and others right now and to chill the **** out.
if from there he wants to go be a ****wit at the range, let him go on his own, and you go on your own. if his butt hurts over your choice because he's unsafe, that's his problem.
Do you ever point the barrel of a disassembled firearm at your eyeball while you inspect the cleanliness and condition of the barrel? Bottom line is the rules are designed to instill respect and proper muscle memory, but common sense also plays a big part.

There are probably a dozen of these floating around the forum. Please don't try to replicate his body of work though. He cannot be surpassed. (that, and you'll probably get banned trying. )

Then don't go shooting with him anymore.
Yes, I do the same, but that typically works until an oblivious shopper or staffer decides to walk right in front of your muzzle while checking out the sights. In the more crowded places I end up pointing the thing at the floor 99.9% of the time.
