Clear cut case of irresponsibility and lack of knowledge on the shooters case here. He should not have been handling the handgun if he didn’t know it wasn’t unloaded, period. Blaming others for someone’s elses misuse of a firearm is not the answer here. I keep my firearms loaded, or with loaded mags ready to go.

Many think they’re all on the up and up in terms of proper handling of firearms but many of them even fall short. Here’s one for you: Buddy of yours comes over to meet up for a day at the range. You notice hes’s carrying his new CC handgun and you ask if you could see it. He unholsters it and goes to hand it to you…what is the very first thing you do in this scenario???

IMO your friend would be screwing up by not removing the mag and clearing the chamber before handing you the fire arm. Personally I never hand anybody a loaded firearm unless physically at a shooting station at the range and making sure that the barrel stays pointed down range. (Like the first time somebody has to load and AR and slowly releases the charging handle like a tard and it doesn’t feed.)

[quote=matty11781;972382]Why the hell is your 4 year old shooting guns? That is irresponsible parenting at its best!! A 4 years old is too young to be handling a weapon of that magnitude!

No reason why Jon and his kid can’t go shooting if Jon is supervising him and using proper safety practices. They make youth rifles for a reason.
