most gun owners are safe and cautious
I know some of the most brain dead takes that my friends with guns do. Some gun owners are absolutely crazy when it comes to gun safety and storage.
I have known a number gun enthusiasts. About half of them have been safe with them. Only one shot themself.
The numbers aren't great.
And isn't it every week that a toddler shoots someone? It's not a good look.
The number of people who openly admit to coworkers that they have couch guns scares me
Because what's better than knowing your balls could get blown at any moments while binging Netflix.
Oh shit. Are you serious?
That's honestly nothing. I had a coworker who had been recently married and invited us to dinner. I go to his house, and there's a gun in the shower, a gun in the kitchen, a gun in the living room... Like, at that point just wear the gun on the belt, my man.
Unfortunately yes.
Another take, I am super on it with gun safety, but not storage. There are never minors allowed in my home, and a gun isn't useful unless you can get to it easily and it's ready to go. Only guns resting inside the safe are unloaded, all the guns that work for a living have loaded magazines and a round in the chamber (I don't own any 1911 pattern guns, if I did, they would not be chambered.) Also, no exposed trigger, everything is in a holster.
you should bully them for it, they deserve it.
Oh I definitely do. Because I get quick access defense. But at the same time there is a limit to that. Especially if kids are in the house.
fair enough, but good on you for giving them what they deserve.
But not so much you get shot.
fuck it, get shot, why not fuck up their lives.
At least you're helping the next person, just make sure to record your own shooting so the police can arrest them.
