Lol good stuff Agent now why can't your aim in game be like that :neener:

Holy double android post :O

I'm less appalled by the aim than by the unsafe gun handling... The gun muzzle travelled all over the place, and your wife kept her finger on the trigger.

Thanks for watching :aok
Gun safety is a very serious issue. Education is what we need most....especially in these gun banning times.
This was not a gun safety training video. All the "making the gun safe" stuff was edited out.
Finger on the trigger..YES. I taught her that the safety is HER FINGER. Double action revolver....finger is the safety. Finger pulls trigger safety off. Finger doesn't pull trigger safety on.
Picking the video frames apart you can see her finger on the trigger for a second...then on trigger guard...then pointed across the frame of the gun. To me this shows her brain is working even when she is distracted. This is good.
All guns are ALWAYS "loaded". There is no such thing as an unloaded gun.
But there is such a thing as a "dry" gun. When she takes her finger off the trigger its instinctive that the gun is dry. I have taught this to her.
You must know when you are out of rounds.
Waving the gun around...LOL...you try to hit a spinning CD at 15 feet with a snub 38...and see if you don't do a little waving the gun around....LOLOLOL
There is a WHOLE lot more to this than you think.
But you do have a point....in the future I will edit out what some would consider "unsafe gun handling". It is important that gun owners make it a point to educate others.

Hey there,
Thanks for your precisions.
My 'waving' comment wasn't about the shooting but mostly after having shot the gun: mostly 0'58'' and 2'30'' into the vid, when you and your wife show the results (or lack of ;) )to the handycam: I have the feeling that, focused on talking to the cam, both of you weren't paying full attention to where the gun was pointed: briefly towards the person holding the cam or towards own body parts. The gun is supposed to be empty at this point but, as Mbailey stated: 'no such thing'
What made me cringe the most: 2'53'', after having loaded your gun with one bullet, the line from the muzzle is passing through the person filming or dangerously close to it. I'm sure that you realize that it would have been much safer to load the gun already pointed downrange.
This brings me to an observation of mine: dealing with cameras (handycams, gopros, even webcams) by filming or being filmed and commenting take a noticeable chunk or your attention capacity. From your post, you seem to be safety conscious, but I get the impression that you let your hands get a life of their own while you were concentrating on telling stuff to the cam.
I'm most curious about a possible increase of accident rate in a lot of activities (skiing, motorcycle riding, paragliding, skydiving,... shooting?) when cams are involved due to the distractions that they cause (There is also the tendency for some people to increase the risk taken during the activity to make the recording look 'more awesome', but I'm not discussing this here).
As a disclaimer for all this :old: patronizing, I'll just tell you that I was involved in the investigation of an accidental shooting of a LEO by one of her colleague who was making his gun ready before a training exercise. The victim asked her colleague to be careful to the pointing of the handgun, to what he responded that it wasn't loaded and pulled the trigger to prove it, but killed her instead. This case made a lasting and painful impression on me, mostly because it was so avoidable. It also made me realize that, whatever I do, I'll never be good enough to be confident that I won't screw up, so I try to take as much mitigating actions as possible. I also promised myself to never shut up when facing perceived unsafe actions, even if I have to look like a fool afterwards because I was wrong. Better that than the alternative...
That being said, you're lucky to be able to share those moments with your wife. I'd like to do the same with the Missus but the regulations here kill all the fun with an awful lot of red tape and some taxes, so we haven't done it yet...

I don't believe I have ever been to a range that wouldn't have made you leave. You pointed the gun at the camera man 10 times (that I could clearly see in the camera fov). Sorry, glad you had fun, but...

Education is what we need most.
is what you really need to direct towards yourself.

:rofl Best part was missing the CD from a ft away and then just going with the shotgun. :aok

I was not at a range. I know the rules at ranges.
Sorry but your post is a fail.
Like I said it was NOT a gun safety training video. I did not display wreckless behavior.
As for the assumption that my video is showing un safe gun handling...well that is just plain wrong.
Watch it again moron. You might notice that I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING.

Agent,
All I can say is that your wife is correct,she shot the disc right through the hole! :rofl
Your lame excuse about it not counting is,well just an excuse,she beat you fair and square. Now take her out to dinner and tell her you're sorry.....and that Morf made you appologize..... :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

My nomination for dumbest quote, most dangerous attitude. Exactly the behavior, and attitude that gets so many killed each year.
-
Denial and name calling; a good defense for cavalier muzzle and trigger control. An unloaded gun has never shot anyone.

Those that shoot together >>> Stay together !! Great vid !!

Looked fun, I love can-plinkin trips into the woods.
When I was a youngin (16/17 yo) and teaching shooting/safety on ranges to even younger kids (12-16), the two things every dumb oscar would say (was only a couple of them each year of ~200 total for the cources and ~500 other kids just free shooting in spare open-range time) before I inspected and kicked them off the range was "I know what I'm doing" AND "It's not loaded". Given whatever the situation was that got my attention on you, just one of those responces alone wouldn't rub me the wrong way, and be an invitation for some tutoring/lesson giving on the spot to them or everyone in the group.
But when I would catch them doing something stupid, having a smart mouth, and then ontop of it be lyeing to me (intentional or not)... If they were there to just free-shoot - sorry kid, best lesson here is for me to kick ya off this year and hope you come back willing to listen and learn from the rangemasters next year. If they were in one of our cources, we'd have them sit off by themselves for a few minutes before having a long talk with them. Depending how that chat went, you could be back shooting with your cource that morning or wish you had given up shooting at our range for a year by the time we were done useing you as an example at the safety lecture infront of that afternoon's turnout for the free-shoot (although, if you prooved to be one of our "most improoved", we'd reward you by inviting you to shoot afterhours when us rangemasters got to freeshoot and brought out the larger guns).
10 outa 10 with the shotgun btw. :aok
