Damn, should have had a good gun to stop his bad one.

That’s honestly impressive.

IphtashuFitz ,

Eh. The Darwin Awards have seen countless examples of:

  • Police, firearm instructors, etc. shooting themselves.
  • People “proving” (incorrectly) that a gun is unloaded by pointing it at their head & pulling the trigger.
  • Hunters being shot by their dogs that step on the triggers of shotguns etc.
  • People using waistbands as holsters.
  • People playing Russian roulette, sometimes with semiautomatic pistols.

And on and on…

So…we needed…some bad guys with guns to…save this guy…from shooting…himself. By shooting him first. Am I doing this right?

jonne ,

At least nobody stole his trash, which was bound to happen if he had been unarmed.

LostWanderer ,

Oh, for fun! Aren’t they training these gun-worshiping weirdos that making use of the safety is a sound practice?

That only works if the gun has one (a large minority of them don’t)

LostWanderer ,

Wat? That’s like a maliciously clever way to make people earn a Darwin Award.

Many modern guns have internal safeties that stop the gun going off from being dropped or what not, but have no external safety to prevent the trigger being pulled. Like Glocks.

They don’t always work, though. Also older guns and revolvers don’t have jack shit because they’re either older than the safety lock or a safety lock wouldn’t work anyway.

A Darwin award is needed for this idiot

USE THE FUCKING SAFETY YOU IDIOTS

Some guns, shockingly, don’t have a safety.

Don’t buy those guns idiots

SoJB ,

Am I missing something or are there just no gun owners here. This is incredibly disingenuous, and even dangerous, “advice”.

A loaded gun with a round in the chamber should fire when the trigger is pulled, every single time. They should not fire when the trigger is not pulled.

Following any one of the three safety rules prevents 100% of “accidents”. There are no real gun accidents besides catastrophic mechanical failure (which does happen, but usually with shit ammo and shit guns or poorly maintained guns).

Depending on traditional safeties encourages poor gun handling habits and adds precious time to fire when milliseconds count. “Safety-less” pistols will not fire unless the trigger is pulled, period.

miseducator ,

Yeah, no shit. And having a safety makes it near impossible to pull the trigger. I don’t think anyone here doesn’t understand the concept of a safety mechanism.
