@@exo_storm8720 funny of you to assume he has a gun that operates with a detachable box magazine and not a gun with an internal magazine that he uses stripper clips for 😉
My last customer was a big austrian guy, wearing sunglasses and asking for all sorts of heavy weaponry, including something plasma related. And then the prick loaded the shotgun with a live round. I told him that he can't do that, and he just said wrong, and shot me.
Agree 100% The old man that used to run a gun shop in our town, had a sign above his head that read. "If you hand me a loaded weapon. I will beat you to death with it." That was the 80s. But, I still love the sentiment.
My uncle's gun shop had 6 accidental discharge events in ten years, five were cops, they became complacent due to handling every day and lost respect for their weapons.
@@ci8158 Huh... Guess you do not believe that you benefit from having murderers, drug dealers, rapists, pedos, and all manner of scum removed from your streets.
@@FullMetalSunbro pigs are a state-sanctioned criminal gang. They murder innocent people and get away with things others don't.. Plus if you're a gun-owner, calling .357 is always faster than 911.
While at the range I told my son, "You only get one chance to make a mistake, then someone dies." He was 12 at the time and has always paid very close attention to what he does while handling firearms.
I got the exact same treatment as a youngin and I really appreciate fathers teaching their sons gun safety. I wish everyone would respect their firearms... You really do only get one chance to make a mistake and it's over.
Recently I was at the range with 2 inexperienced shooters. One of the was not thinking when she turned to point to something behind us. I saw the loaded gun coming around with her and quickly pushed it and her hand back down range. No words were needed since she understood as soon as I did it. This scares me more because I can't watch their every move but I stayed closer to both girls while they were shooting.
People get too comfortable with technology and believes that since they know their way around their weapon, they are too relaxed, then accidental discharge.
if you need to bring your concealed carry to a gun store then simply unload the entire weapon keep the chamber open and put it in the case then bring it in ; that fixes everyone's problem
In Switzerland, these safety rules must always be observed: 1. All weapons are always considered Loaded to look at! 2. Never point a weapon at anything, Which you do not want to meet! 4. As long as the sighting device Is not aimed at the goal The pointing finger outside the To hold the trigger! 3. Be sure of your goal! When you take a weapon, a psk is always made: Personal Security check (PSK) 1. Open the shutter 2 cm, If closure is closed 2. Check cartridge bearing 3. Control magazine Before entering the shooting range: A) the PSK is carried out (The magazine is no longer inserted); (B) the running control has been carried out; C) the series fire safety is switched on (white Point visible) and secured; D) the closure is opened and with the closure holder Blocked. In shooting range: (A) the open-air storm gun, Series fire arrestor on white, secured, without Magazine, in the rifle rack; B) the assault rifle may only be used in the shooting position Loading. It must be before leaving Of the shooting position; C) all manipulations are only in the Shooting position, with the weapon in the stop, To be carried out. Therefore we have almost no encroachments with weapons. No comparison to the usa. And very many people here have weapons. Here the safety rules and a small description of the stgw in the orginal. www.vtg.admin.ch/content/vtg-internet/de/mein-militaerdienst/ausserhalb-des-dienstes/sat/schiesswesen-ausser-dienst/_jcr_content/infotabs/items/jungsch_tzen/tabPar/downloadlist_1024112640/downloadItems/542_1476093119560.download/plakatsatz.pdf
My local store has rounds collected as well. One was from a desert eagle. Apparently the guy was walking around showing everyone the gun, thinking it was unloaded. Then when the shop employee handled it he cleared it and it was loaded. They also had a 45-70 round which I thought was wild
This video is dumb. We always pull our weapons out and fire five into the ceiling. Pussy city slickers. "Look at this jar of boolets that came out of chambers!!!". It's not the guns fault if it goes off. Safety and trigger discipline is the last thing between you and a bullet going across the room.
Most gun owners need to watch this. Have you ever been to a range? There needs to be a required training class before gun ownership, most of them are scary. If there's ever a mass shooting I'm running towards the shooter, much more likely to be shot by all these barney fifes returning fire.
Former firearms salesperson here. This video should be shown on a loop at the entrance of EVERY GUN SHOP!! I can’t tell you how many times I had customers attempt to or actually pull out loaded and/or unloaded firearms from a holster. Very dangerous and makes us as gun owners look bad. Thank you for making this content!! You’ve gained a new subscriber
It’s the now regular massacres that make gun owners look bad, if gun owners shoot each other in gun shops it’s not an issue, just one more unsafe loon off the streets.
Dumb rule. Men used to sit on top of steel beams 1000 feet above New York without safety harnesses. Ask for permission to present the gun. Have someone else verify the gun is clear. That will be enough, gun stores scared of guns says everything about the quality of people inside.
@2 golden rule - never ever hand a firearm to someone else, without first clearing it and making sure the breech is open so they can see that it's unloaded as well.
Absolutely agreed sir. Another one I always like to quote- “ if you have the same IQ as an old potato sack full of horse shit, just leave your gun at home” -Socrates
I would add that if you are coming into the shop to have a weapon serviced or checked out in some way by an armorer, or if you have a question for a staff member… bring it in cleared and in a case or box.
Yes... this is the best way to perform this action. Canadians are used to it, as we can't move anything pistol, without it being in a locked, opaque case. And that's AFTER you get your Authorization To Transport slip.
My father taught me this when i was about 7 years old, and the firearm is only safe when it is in your hands and you have personally cleared and checked the chamber.
im a new gun user, but the #1 rule is to me that has stuck is "treat every weapon as if it were loaded" I would never pull out a weapon if it were loaded unless loading it on a range. 2000% agree
The Problem Arent New User Most of them handle them pretty good the Problem are the old User or Just stupid people WHO should own one in the First place they lost the Respect for the gun and Just think yea i didnt Put a bullet in there ITS fine For example that one Video of a black Guy trying to Clean His Glock Problem He still Had a bullet in theire Then after He pulled the Trigger to realse the Slide He Shot humslef in the knee
If the weapon is disabled then you can ignore that rule. Having someone else check is a great idea. Don’t be scared of guns, respect them and treat them as tools.
@@Bigbossman12624 The four safety rules I was taught were: Treat every gun as if it's loaded, never point your firearm at anything you do not intend to destory, treat every gun as if it is loaded, and never put your finger on the trigger until you're ready to fire.
@@vortexsayshi those rules are generalities. In special circumstances you can ignore them. Taking the gun down or clearing it renders the gun no longer dangerous. If you truly fallowed these rules to a t, you wouldn’t ever be able to clean your weapon or inspect it. You also wouldn’t ever be able to buy a gun because of how we ship them and sell firearms. If the gun is rendered non operable you can ignore ALL of these rules.
I NEVER pull my weapon out if its loaded. If I need a technical issue addressed I put the gun in a case and the slide is locked and mag is out and empty.
Here in NZ concealed and open carry is illegal. The only way a handgun can be legally transported at any time is in a case, with any magazines unloaded.
Exactly. I waited for the guy to say that if you are looking make upgrades on your weapon bring it in unloaded and in a carrying case. I'm not going to act like I'm the smartest guy ever. Seeing this video immediately took me back to a time I was trying to pawn a .22 handgun. Even though I'd made sure the chamber was cleared and the mag in a total different pocket. before i left my residence because my handgun permit needed to be renewed. I also transported it with the gun in the glovebox and mag in the center console. I'd be damned if I run into the cop that decides to go crazy after I let him know about the firearm. An then get shot for pulling a gun out of my pocket that is cleared and doesnt have the mag in . . Side note. My firearm will not fire unless the mag is the gun. So at the time I truly thought I was taking the proper precautions while transporting the weapon on my way to pawn it. . . But I did take it into the pawnshop in my back pocket because I was also carrying in my .22 rifle as well. I checked that the chamber was clear as I got into the car and when I arrived. So I triple checked. I pulled the mag out first. Then took the firearm out of my back pocket always pointed at the ground and laid it on the counter. I unfortunately did not think of the shop owner being upset that I had the handgun in my pocket because I did ask if he'd be interested before I pulled it out after he asked where I had it. I'm kind of ashamed I didnt think to bring it in inside a caring case. I would like to think if I had owned one at the time that I'd have brung it in like that. But I cant say for sure because I didnt. I truly thought I was being as cautious as possible. And after having this presented to me it makes all the sense in the world.. at least you can be sure I'll always do so from this point on. Thanks.
A firearm should be cleared everytime it is picked up, before it is handed over and after it is handed over. Otherwise it is loaded. AND it should be handled as if it is loaded even if it is cleared. < 50 years of gun handling. I've had one negligent discharge. The rifle discharged on closing of the bolt, it was pointed downrange near the target. Yes, a gunsmith was involved in the repair of the sear.
I always clear my gun, take a quick walk back and forth across the room, then come back and clear it again before cleaning/dry firing. It may seem excessive but oh well.
Whenever I go to a shop to get a holster or new sites, I always take it in a case and hand them the case. It makes it a lot easier and safer for everybody.
I'd like to believe that the only reason this comment hasn't had more likes yet is only because most people aren't reading that many of the comments in general, because this is one of the most sensible and practical things described.
I've always been amazed how common it was for people to sweet someone with the gun. As I told my students when I have taught Firearms classes, pretend there is a never-ending lightsaber beam coming from the barrel, anything it touches gets destroyed.
When I was briefly in the Finnish army we were given a really good advice to prevent the sweeping. One should imagine a laser beam coming out of the barrel and not allow it to cut anyone. Good mental exercise.
Just point it at the ground at all times unless you mean to shoot and then there's no need to come up with silly abstractions. What's so difficult to understand about pointing it at the ground?
Or you could just....idk..... think a little bit. You have a device to kill someone in your arms but you are less careful with it than you would a glass full of water. You are always mindful of the glass spilling but forget about the gun shooting.
Always empty Magazine slide back and lock put in case bring in the store hand to counter person let them open box check double check. Slide back locked empty Magazine next to Gun
I've only been hunting once as a kid and I will always remember that day being told "there is no such thing as an unloaded gun". I was in the Army and never had a discharge because of that one phrase
@@Openup0911 the gun is unloaded but you should always treat a gun as it was loaded (you probably didn't say this seriously but I felt like commenting anyway)
@@Openup0911 The point is to treat every gun, loaded or unloaded (& chamber cleared), as if it were loaded. Helps because of possible "human error" and maybe they missed something when thinking they properly unloaded it and cleared the chamber.
I use to work at a gun shop, and that shit happens more than you would think. Usually military, vets, and police. Even caught employees out. The rule was any time we passed the gun between employees we cleared it again. Never cared if someone came in with a hot gun, as long as they were safe, and warned me. One old lady came in with a little derringer, and I asked if it was loaded (not like it mattered cause I was gonna clear it anyway), and she thought it would be funny to say "idk," while waving it around with her finger on the trigger. She flagged my head first, I started to dive behind the counter but before I could she turned and flagged all the customers standing behind her. My dive to the floor instantly changed to diving on her, and grabbing her wrist to point the gun towards the ceiling. All the employees and customers around me were just standing there half shitting themselves and half dumb struck. I definitely thought someone was going to die. Needless to say, she didn't get to handle that gun or any other guns in the store again. Put it behind the counter and bought it.
Great video. This is what licensed, legal and responsible gun owners look like. I really wish people on both sides of the debate watched videos like these to understand that the other side is not their enemy, that there are normal, regular people on both sides, not just the rare extremists who make the news.
Me too. Honestly, even the guards here in the Philippines are careless about where they point their guns. I've been swept several times by now by guards who just casually carry their shotguns around, slung around their neck and hand on the handle. But at least no finger on the trigger. Still, its just annoying to have any gun sweep across your position. Please people be more mindful of where you're pointing that thing. I'd say it's just goddamn rude. It doesn't even make sense to carry loaded shotguns around. :\ Just keep a pistol in the holster.
Holyspecter you would think it is common sense right. It is important to educate yourself with a competent professional like an NRA certified instructor in your area
IDK if the first sentence was a question or not. But after I educate myself with a competent professional like an NRA certified instructor in my area. Does it become alright to point at random people with a loaded gun or what are you arguing here?
Absolutely not lol. The fundamental NRA rules for safe gun handling are: ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. This is the primary rule of gun safety. ...ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. ...ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
I was taught 55 years ago that there's no such thing as an "accidental" discharge. If a firearm goes off when you didn't want it to, it's called a _negligent_ discharge. No "accident" about it. You just didn't clear it properly.
Thank you for this video! I have shown mine at a Pawn shop - the slide was locked open. And I was still careful where I pointed it. And I talked to him about it BEFORE I drew the weapon. I learned at a very young age that you treat EVERY gun as if it is loaded, even if you have removed the firing pin.
The only way that would be disrespectful is if you were thinking something crazy when you posted your comment such as "his nose is big as hell"...lmao. You know u were thinking that...
Idiot: "Hey,how much for pawning this grenade? Don't worry, its not loaded...Souvenir from Nam". Owner: "Where's the pin"? Idiot: "It broke after years of corrosion". Owner: "Hey! We also have one from the Nam Era. Here! Take them outside and check them...and don't trip"! Idiot: "Where's the pin? Why the tape? What's WP"? Owner: I don't know. I think it was called Willy Pete... or something like that...whatever that is! We'll talk later".
Twice in a gun shop, I needed to ask a gunsmith to take a look at my pistol due to some sort of issue it was having. In the range, I emptied it and holstered it or boxed it with no mag. Then as I talked to the gunsmith I ASKED if it was ok to take it out and hand it to him. This isn't difficult with just a modicum of common sense.
Yep. All shops are different and have different rules. The best thing to do is ask before you just draw, my local shop I go to allows people to pull their firearm if you are checking mags, holsters or need to chat with the smith about it and allow you to clear your firearm in front of them as long as you ask.
@Yes Man Ummm. No, no one is saying that. I think you're misunderstanding. I carry loaded and concealed in gun shops all the time. But if you're gonna bring it to a gun shop to have them look at it, bring it empty and be clear with them about what you're there for to avoid problems. It's just a safer way to go about it. For example, if I'm bringing a gun to a shop to have it looked at, I'll often carry a different concealed gun other than the one I'm having them look at.
When I bring my pistol or rifle into a gun shop it is in a case, magazine out, action locked to the rear. Been doing this since I obtained my CCP in 1973.
Nerves can play a part in safety. We were at the county show last week (we live in England) and our 13 year old wanted to shoulder a shotgun to see how it felt. She got nervous and held it with her finger on the trigger and was pointing it towards other customers. I was mortified and she got a very strong lecture. And not just from me.
@@alexflu2 it had, many times! She's at that age where she worries she's going to do everything wrong in front of strangers, and then proceeds to do it!
Gotta say even after passing my firearms course I had done the same or at least made similar mistakes... You're new to the 'sport' and trying to think of so many things, trying to seem chill / experienced, and with so many people around you maybe wonder what a safe direction to point may be... Besides the trigger finger issue! I recently took 3 full days of tactical shooting classes and if safety wasn't drilled into me before (it was, but...) it definitely is now! Best advice ever was ACTS & PROVE acronyms!
While the constitution, and particularly the 2A, is loved by many, the “unloaded jar” is reflective of how “well regulated” those constitution loving 2A fans really are. WELL REGULATED (interpreted to mean well trained)....It’s undisciplined, untrained ASSHOLES that have been, and will continue to foul up gun rights for the rest of us. Don’t be stupid gun owners.
I was at an indoor range a few weeks ago. A guy walks back from the line, pulls his gun out at the back counter and the RSO goes batshit crazy. The guy says calm down man, the gun's not loaded. The RSO takes the gun drops the mag racks to slide.... Yep, it was loaded. He was banned from the range, forever
When I took my CWP class we were taught to slide it 3 times to ensure it was empty. The man teaching the class was 30 year law enforcement veteran. He said he says to do it 3 times just to make sure you do it at least once.
I use the same rule when i'm locking the door before leaving. I always check the doorknob 3 times because i'm always wondering if i locked the door or not. Can't imagine being any less careful than that when it comes to firearms.
Then drop the mag and clear all three areas: 1. Feed. 2. Ejection port 3. Barrel One if my instructors recommended we keep a rod/straw for this with the firearms.
I have an AKM, and while at most ranges we are only allowed to load a certain number of rounds into a mag, but after I use all the rounds in the mag I always pull the lever back twice to make sure nothing ejects. I taught my nephew the same thing when I let him shoot my AK and right before he went into the Marines. I don't have my CPL yet, I don't even keep my 9mm loaded, mag out of the gun and again double pull on the slide to make sure the chamber is empty. That habit actually prevented an accident involving myself, because I was practicing dry firing my 9mm, and in this case I pulled the mag out, and before I went to dry fire the gun, I pulled the slide back to look into the chamber, and a round flew out of the chamber. Shooting range I go to is also a gun shop. I keep my 9mm in its original manufacturer's box along with the mags. So when I present the weapon its not on me. I do have 1 mag at home that is always loaded, but never in my 9mm, and I don't bring that mag with me when I do go to the range / gun shop. I just try to develop and re-enforce good habits. While I also have military friends/family to assist me with getting used to the firearm.
I agree that taking a gun out of a holster loaded or not without advanced notice is not safe. The one question I have is if you want to purchase a holster, sight or other accessory for the gun your carrying, how do you negotiate bringing your gun into a gun shop to shop for it.
If I absolutely NEED to bring a gun to a shop for some kind of service or whatever, I bring it in a closed gun case (unloaded, duh) and let the staff open it up.
I am newer to firearms, but also have my CCW. I have had several people"sweep" or flat out point and click at me. People with WAY more experience than me, including my own father. It is intensely unnerving. I always even after clearing it keep it pointed in a safe direction. Just a week ago my friend did it to me and said "It's not chambered.", to which I responded, "assume it is.".It's unreal how careless some people can be with it.
About two years ago in my town, a young police cadet shot his friend and colleague in the head while "playing around" with an "unloaded" firearm. Turns out he "unloaded" the gun with the magazine still in, then later thought it was empty because no magazine. Terrible mistake, and it cost the life of his 19 year old friend and colleague.
Born around guns and served in the Navy. Three rules of Gun Safety: 1) Treat it as if its loaded. 2) Muzzle Awareness 3) Clear and Safe every time you present or examine a weapon. These are good habits for Gun Safety because accidents happen and the law doesn't say "oops" to an accidental murder.
I went years without a weapon. When I decided to buy one, I went to a firing range, told the owner I needed to refresh my gun safety knowledge. He spent over 20 minutes going over things to do, not to do and I listened to every word before I rented a revolver to test out. I would recommend that to anyone who is thinking about a gun. Rent one and fire it at a range after the safety course. It was time well spent.
@DankNDoughnuts I have more than a revolver now. the revolver was a Taurus Judge, the one with the hammer locking key. I had to leave it home when I went on the road to CA. I came home and decided to go shooting. it was gone. It was locked, I hope the buyer paid for it before he found out.
I live 6 hours from the closest indoor range and probably 8 hours from the nearest indoor range that actually rents anything. Refreshing your knowledge of basic safety is always good, but man it would be a serious waste of everyone's time around here to go about a gun purchase like that xD
@@appalachianexploration5714 I was in the market for a gun, and we were attending a wedding in another state. The day before the ceremony, I went to a local gun range and rented a revolver. It was what I thought I needed at the time. when I got home, I bought one.
@@Digger513 May I suggest you find people who are experienced with weapons, and ask them for advice. I did not say gun shop employees, but people who have no vested interest in any brand, style, or caliber of weapon. For example, I can safely handle the kick from a .45 long, and owned one until it was stolen from me. Having said that, I prefer a smaller caliber.
Wow I had no idea that’s how many ppl have a loaded firearm and did not know it was empty . Awesome video guys thanks for the safety tips I totally agree .
Everyone: You don't just need to remove the magazine, you have to make sure there isn't a round in the chamber. Me, with my revolver: Is this a problem I'm too cool to understand?
Ummm, they are talking about the +90% of firearms that are not wheelguns or single shots. That said YES, you need to make sure you do not have a round in battery as well. Negligent discharges happen with revolvers as well.
If you are going to a gun store and have some kind of "need" to show your weapon... Then bring the weapon to the store unloaded (without a magazine in the gun), and in the original factory case... This is the professional way to do it... (brownie points if you have a chamber flag)
That's what was missing in the video -- the proper way to bring a gun into the store, for instance if it needs to be repaired or if you want them to put new sights on it for you or something along those lines.
Now if it's a bolt-action high-powered hunting rifle before you bring it in the shop make sure you completely remove the bolt from the rifle and keep it separated from the rifle inside the case before you bring it inside the shop.
I agree 50%, being someone who was military, and is currently an employee at a gunshop in California the no unholstering crap is crap. When someone wants to unholster we have a sign saying "if you want to unholster your lawfully concealed handgun, simply ask us, clear towards floor, and hand us the handgun for yours, others and our safety" so if they want to try holsters we as in the employee and the customer do so together in a safe manner. We haven yet to have a problem with carriers. Now bagged long guns and handguns is another story...
Ex Oz military. First time on the range we were told, ''Do not point a firearm at anyone unless you are about to shoot them.... and on that note, if someone points a firearm at you they are about to shoot you, because nobody would disobey my orders. You have my permission to do whatever it takes, to stop that rifle being pointed at you.'' Even the dumbest recruit soaked that up, lol. Always treat them as loaded. Even if you are 100% sure, the person in the shop doesn't know that.
If you are looking to have work done on your firearm, bring it in unloaded and cased. It's also a good courtesy to walk in and let them know before actually bringing it in.
Lmao bring in a flagged weapon sound like the same type of guys who watch Utube and complain the guy didn't publicly check it first or FLAG IT 🤣. Sorry just find it funny that a person has to do all that just to bring in a firearm, as long as mag is out they clear chamber and point it in a safe direction and the person taking it does the same.
@@treerat6959 - I know right? .. Flag and case is really difficult. What a pain in the rear! .. Safety is such a pain .. wish we could just do away with it all .. [SMH]
@@treerat6959 - I would agree, however, I like to be friends with my local gun people and gun store personnel. I guess I don't view it a problem to simply throw my gun into its case with a chamber flag and strutting it into the store. It makes everyone in the store feel just that much safer and is generally very well received by the staff. They appreciate it, and it isn't exactly a burden on my part.
Larry Larsen I think I just said that. My kids were handling guns when they were old enough to hold them. That was the rule I laid down for them and they've always been as safe as a person can be with any firearm. I would tell them "even if you see the chamber and can see the light in the barrel, it's loaded".
+skippy dippy It's so simple, like it SHOULD come natural. But people say they respect the gun, when what they really should respect is what it does. So they end up feeling almighty powerful instead of being mindful about where the damn Thing is pointing - - - not to mention where they keep their trigger-finger while showing off their piece. That's also a first and foremost: Keep your finger off the trigger until you have drawn a bead and are ready to fire.
+skippy dippy That is honestly how I treat all of mine, but my friends laugh at me. I was raised to the point that I would get cracked in the face if I passed the barrel, empty or not, past a person or handle it otherwise lackadaisical. I think people need to stop being so comfortable with their gun and understand what it can do. About seven years ago my buddy was playing around with his AR in the house like a fool as usual, and he did his little tap rack clear he likes doing. Well guess what, he had a loaded magazine in it and forgot. Pulled the trigger to release the firing pin and literally, I shit you not, popped a 5.56 round about a foot and a half above my head out the ceiling. I was sitting on the bed and he was standing up facing me with the barrel at about a 45 degree angle. Had it been about 6" lower I would be dead today. His dad came in (who is a police officer and army vet) and grabbed the rifle, cleared it and then decked him right in the face. I thought that was an ok punishment......but he deserved it. There is no need to fear your gun, per se, but you need to respect the shit out of it. It isn't a fancy little shiny toy to play around with.
I was taught more gun safety by the time I was 10 years old than I believe a lot of adults receive in their whole life. I've been to gun ranges where people wave barrels around when they're holding a loaded weapon pointed at me with their finger on the trigger. I've seen idiots at the gun range actually sweep up brass and put it right under the feet of other shooters, not understanding the purpose of sweeping brass up. I've walked into too many gun ranges where the second you walk through the door onto the actual range to shoot, you're walking on a layer of spent shell casings. Most of the people there were 35 and under and didn't even understand apparently, that you need to sweep your brass up so that nobody holding a firearm loses their balance and falls, while holding a Loaded firearm. I'm very pleased to see you guys put out these kind of videos. Never be bashful, it's better to embarrass or anger people, than allow them to kill themselves with a stupid mistake. There are worse things in life than being offended, call me an old man, but I think getting shot is one of them. Great video, keep up the good work.

Good video. EXCEPT... Something my father always used to say was "don't tell me what NOT to do, tell me what TO do." Tell people a solution. Tell us if we have a question about our firearm, to please bring it in, without the magazine inserted, and the breach/slide in the locked open position. Preferably in a case. Or, simply take a picture of the firearm, and bring in the picture.
telling what not to do leaves a lot of variables open for interpretation allowing these kinds of interactions where the slide insn't breached. very good comment wish i could like it 10 times
yeah i think that is a good rule though they are some exceptions, if the workers at the gun shop ask for the gun lets say you wanted something repaired or something isn't working right and need help or need a sight fitted on the gun, then that is an exception but don't be a lunkhead carry another gun holstered and bring the gun in question in a box or something with the slide held back with no magazine in it, showing it's not loaded..
Good point. I guess it might be a good idea to keep one's hands off the gun until told exactly what to do by the shop staff. Never a bad idea to ask someone exactly what they want you to do, in so many aspects of life, IMHO.
When I've went to sell, I've always transported mine into the store in a case with the bolt/slide locked back and magazine removed and made conversation before opening the case. Always open the case in a way that the employee can see the firearm as well. I don't work at a store but this has been my process and it's worked well.
Any time you can- Call ahead. Whether you need a gunsmith, or you want to sell. Just call the store before leaving home. They will tell you what they want as far as how to bring it in. It doesn't dawn on you halfway through your gun store trip "I need to pull this thing out". If you need to pull it out, that is likely the whole reason for the trip. I have only been able to think of 3 circumstances to bring it in apart from just carrying (in which case it DOESN'T leave the holster) 1- gunsmith needs to work on it 2- you intend on selling the gun 3- leather shop is making a custom holster and needs to inspect the guns. (that one is extremely specific though, you don't need to pull it out to see if your Springfield xd will fit in the blackhawk holster at the end of the isle, it will. Much more directed at things like a hand crafted western gun belt for your revolvers and your belt line) 1 or 3, they should know in advance. Have them in a case and already made safe at home with slide/chamber open. Don't leave loaded mags in the case, don't leave any ammo at all in the case. Just the gun. They may give you additional safety instructions they want, during your talk. 2- again, it should have been discussed at least a little before coming in with the gun. make the gun safe, put the lock on it, put it in the case with all the (empty) magazines and accessories you intend to sell with it. 1 2 and 3 let them remove them from the case and let them verify its clear.
Great video! Polite and to the point. Whenever I take my gun into the local gun shop, I will carry it in the case that the firearm came in at the time of purchase. I will place it on the counter and let them open it up and examine the gun. Generally I would take it in for service.
Same same I love my guns all my guns and I love packing my guns but I’m sorry the world we live in they should have a test you must pass before you can buy a gun and I know about the carry conceal test I’ve passed it and it’s a joke
shaun banks wow! Where do you live? In Kentucky, we had a non permit to open carry and they just past law that now you no longer need a permit to conceal carry and you don’t have to take a test to purchase but you must pass a background check.
I Don’t Get The Joke LOL, you don’t get the joke??? Seems you don’t understand firearms! The joke is when you have a round chambered and you go to clear that round as a safety precaution before you disengage the magazine what happens is you pull the slid back to un-chamber that round but by not disengaging the magazine first, you clear that chambered round but when you release the slide, you just chambered another round and when you then disengage the magazine and pass it to someone you’re in fact passing to them a loaded weapon So ALWAYS, ALWAYS! Disengage the magazine BEFORE you clear the chamber! There ay go and therein lies the joke.
If you're going into a shop to buy parts or accessories for a firearm that you carry every day, you should be able to tell the shop worker what you have without having to pull it out to show. Know what you carry.
Absolutely loved it! Still can't believe that many forget to clear their weapon before doing that. What's the 2nd rule? Treat every weapon as if it was loaded. Think guys and gals. SAFETY FURST! Be safe everyone.
Yep no one finger off trigger until ready to fire, no2 treat as if loaded at all times, no3 don't point at anything you don't want to destroy, and 4 don't let the fed boys shoot your dog
@@randygodbey2676 Last year my neighbors dad came back from hunting. I'm in the city limits. He grabbed his rifle as he was getting out of the rig. He did NOT clear it, not taking out safely and the safety was off. I was in my year just 50 feet away. The bullet hit a tree stump 15 feet away from me. I symbolically ripped him a new asshole. I asked if he knew the 4 rules. Ah, Nope! He was 65. I was surprised he lived that long. I'm surprised I didn't get shot. It's simple. If you don't stay focused on those basic, yet "must do rules" while handling any firearm. Someone will unfortunately pay the unnecessary loss of life. EVERYONE please be safe out there.
That's what happens when you don't have gun licensing. Here in Canada we have to take a firearms course for non restricted and restricted. Then apply for a firearms license. During the course you learn how to safely handle all types of firearms. Like muzzle control and how to clear a firearm safely. You then have to pass a practical test and written test.
MuffHam Yeah :( too many people in the US see stuff like that as tyrannical or a waste of time. Really sucks considering the amount of idiots who buy guns.
@@MuffHam In America we believe in freedom and personal responsibility. That also means we are willing to pay the price for those who are irresponsible.
Myo swe the mindset that a gun is a dangerous device that should be handled with utmost care is a good habit to get into, keeps the gunshot wounds to a minimum.
Great video! I just started learning how to shoot guns from our local gun shop. I bought one an went to the gun shop to ask a question about it. I pulled the gun out and I found out pretty fast that you should not do that! I am very glad you guys did a video on this subject. I'm 66 yrs old and absolutely am having the time of my life with this sport. Wish I started sooner.
Agree with everything you said. So many people are just getting into firearm ownership over the past few years that unfortunately have no real experience in safe handling practices so this video is a good lesson for them as well as a reminder to those that have been around firearms for years.
Absolutely agreed. If a customer wants an employee to see his/her weapon, it should be unloaded and in a case. No one should ever draw a weapon unless there is intent to use it..
@@tdoyr I walked into my local store without a case when was buying a holster, I just had the slide locked back and told the clerks I was there for a conceal holster.
@@tdoyr Buy a gun case off amazon. Can buy one for as little as $10. You don't have to ball out for anything major if you're looking for a way to safely transport a firearm to & from gun stores. Just have the firearm (unchambered & no mag) in it. There are easy steps to take to make this safe and painless for everyone involved.
Demonstrating the correct method to bring in your firearm for service, etc. would be helpful too. I bring my pistol in the store in a case cleared and locked open and put the case on the counter and let the person on the other side open the case. I've got a hunting rifle with a scope with an AR mount on a weaver rail that could better use ring mounts so I'll be taking it in to get that done soon and it will be fairly the same thing. Thanks for helping to better educate all of us.
Any time I needed to take my gun to a gun store, needing a screw for the sight, a holster, whatever, I've left the gun in the car, unloaded & locked back. Went in the store, talked to clerk, said what I needed and if it was ok to go back to car & bring it in. Everyone was cool with this and in the umpteen years of me having guns, no one was ever 'accidentally' shot
I am from the UK. I was trained in the Army with firearms and with a local gun club before we were not allowed to possess a handgun. When I had my pistols, and rifles, and needed to take them to the shop for repair or whatever, I made sure the weapon was clear, no magazine fitted and it was in a box or gunslip with the slide removed or the bolt / working parts removed. Maybe this practice ought to be used in your shop. It's not the gun that kills, it is the person using it.
![Gun Shop \ Wrong Sarah | The Terminator [Open Matte, Remastered]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/jxoowglHU2w/mqdefault.jpg)

"Don't let the little head do the thinking for the big head "
Agree 100% The old man that used to run a gun shop in our town, had a sign above his head that read. "If you hand me a loaded weapon. I will beat you to death with it." That was the 80s. But, I still love the sentiment.

While at the range I told my son, "You only get one chance to make a mistake, then someone dies." He was 12 at the time and has always paid very close attention to what he does while handling firearms.

That’s one of the only things my did ever did for me. Gun safety. Good on you for teaching him
Recently I was at the range with 2 inexperienced shooters. One of the was not thinking when she turned to point to something behind us. I saw the loaded gun coming around with her and quickly pushed it and her hand back down range. No words were needed since she understood as soon as I did it. This scares me more because I can't watch their every move but I stayed closer to both girls while they were shooting.
only "one chance", huh? thats the dumbest 💩 i ever heard... you get one chance to get it right and infinite chances to make a mistake, ACTUALLY.
People with no muzzle control are the scariest thing.
Correction: People with no muzzle control and don't know they have a chambered round are the scariest thing.
I went to a pawn shop the other day, and the OWNER was waving around the guns XD
I'm more scared of getting shot at the gun range than the hood.

if you need to bring your concealed carry to a gun store then simply unload the entire weapon keep the chamber open and put it in the case then bring it in ; that fixes everyone's problem
Clearing the chamber is such a routine thing, it seems so weird that people could do this. But apparently a lot of people are careless.
Bob Dobbs That's a perfect example of you can't fix stupid.

That says it all.
In Switzerland, these safety rules must always be observed:
1. All weapons are always considered
Loaded to look at!
2. Never point a weapon at anything,
Which you do not want to meet!
4. As long as the sighting device
Is not aimed at the goal
The pointing finger outside the
To hold the trigger!
3. Be sure of your goal!
When you take a weapon, a psk is always made:
Personal
Security check (PSK)
1. Open the shutter 2 cm,
If closure is closed
2. Check cartridge bearing
3. Control magazine
Before entering the shooting range:
A) the PSK is carried out
(The magazine is no longer inserted);
(B) the running control has been carried out;
C) the series fire safety is switched on (white
Point visible) and secured;
D) the closure is opened and with the closure holder
Blocked.
In shooting range:
(A) the open-air storm gun,
Series fire arrestor on white, secured, without
Magazine, in the rifle rack;
B) the assault rifle may only be used in the shooting position
Loading. It must be before leaving
Of the shooting position;
C) all manipulations are only in the
Shooting position, with the weapon in the stop,
To be carried out.
Therefore we have almost no encroachments with weapons. No comparison to the usa. And very many people here have weapons.
Here the safety rules and a small description of the stgw in the orginal.

It is so scary to know that in just a few weeks you have collected that many rounds from people who ‘thought’ their firearm was unloaded.
I suspect these are liberals in disguise, probably fbi "assets" lol
😢 sad statistics
mind boggling.
And I am sure many of them consider themselves “experts”
My local store has rounds collected as well. One was from a desert eagle. Apparently the guy was walking around showing everyone the gun, thinking it was unloaded. Then when the shop employee handled it he cleared it and it was loaded. They also had a 45-70 round which I thought was wild
Two Rules My Dad Taught me:
1. Always treat your weapon as if it's loaded
2. Always check the chamber when unloading
Good stuff👍🏼 shout out to pops
@@TheJsjr Thanks
This video is dumb. We always pull our weapons out and fire five into the ceiling. Pussy city slickers. "Look at this jar of boolets that came out of chambers!!!". It's not the guns fault if it goes off. Safety and trigger discipline is the last thing between you and a bullet going across the room.
If you use that process every time there woube be no such thing as an accidental discharge of ammo.
ALWAYS = most important word
unfortunately, those that need to watch this video the most will never see it...
Gotta share it.
Even if you share at the people who need to see it still won't watch it because they think they're too smart for videos
So true
Most gun owners need to watch this. Have you ever been to a range? There needs to be a required training class before gun ownership, most of them are scary.
If there's ever a mass shooting I'm running towards the shooter, much more likely to be shot by all these barney fifes returning fire.

Former firearms salesperson here. This video should be shown on a loop at the entrance of EVERY GUN SHOP!! I can’t tell you how many times I had customers attempt to or actually pull out loaded and/or unloaded firearms from a holster. Very dangerous and makes us as gun owners look bad. Thank you for making this content!! You’ve gained a new subscriber
It’s the now regular massacres that make gun owners look bad, if gun owners shoot each other in gun shops it’s not an issue, just one more unsafe loon off the streets.
Dumb rule. Men used to sit on top of steel beams 1000 feet above New York without safety harnesses.
Ask for permission to present the gun. Have someone else verify the gun is clear. That will be enough, gun stores scared of guns says everything about the quality of people inside.
"Just keep it in your holster" -I heard this a lot in high school
Hahaha...ha......hol up
Wait what
😂
Ha! Double funny; both because of the sexual innuendo, and because of school shootings (Yes I have a dark sense of humour).
I wish i would have listened and kept it holdstered
#1 golden rule. Treat all firearms as if they're loaded.
@2 golden rule - never ever hand a firearm to someone else, without first clearing it and making sure the breech is open so they can see that it's unloaded as well.
Something that all responsible fathers taught their young children.
True, but also respect the gun
Even if it's in pieces
Absolutely agreed sir. Another one I always like to quote- “ if you have the same IQ as an old potato sack full of horse shit, just leave your gun at home” -Socrates
I would add that if you are coming into the shop to have a weapon serviced or checked out in some way by an armorer, or if you have a question for a staff member… bring it in cleared and in a case or box.
^This. Bring it in a gun case cleared and locked back no mag inserted. Hand the case to clerk to open.
@@xTheToolx Helps if you put a chamber flag in there too.
finally, the simple and easy common sense 👍
Yes... this is the best way to perform this action. Canadians are used to it, as we can't move anything pistol, without it being in a locked, opaque case. And that's AFTER you get your Authorization To Transport slip.
Yes the clerk should also hand me the guns sin a case
I would feel uncomfortable if someone pulled their weapon out of their holster . I agree with everything you've said.
I really like how you keep the chambered rounds you unload and don’t give them back. That’s awesome.
Have an agree statement that any rounds left in weapons will be shot at them
I'd rather they keep a jar with guns
Agreed
Puts your gun in a barrel full of other guns behind the counter:
“Here is your bullet back sir.”
lol they said there wasn't one chambered so !!!! dont blame them the bullets of shame
First rule of gun safety is to treat any and every firearm as if it’s loaded at all times. 🤦🏻
I know. It makes me want to give up on humanity I knew that as a toddler and some grown men dont
Until you and you yourself knows its not
My father taught me this when i was about 7 years old, and the firearm is only safe when it is in your hands and you have personally cleared and checked the chamber.

@@Bigbossman12624 The four safety rules I was taught were: Treat every gun as if it's loaded, never point your firearm at anything you do not intend to destory, treat every gun as if it is loaded, and never put your finger on the trigger until you're ready to fire.
@@vortexsayshi those rules are generalities. In special circumstances you can ignore them. Taking the gun down or clearing it renders the gun no longer dangerous.
If you truly fallowed these rules to a t, you wouldn’t ever be able to clean your weapon or inspect it. You also wouldn’t ever be able to buy a gun because of how we ship them and sell firearms.
If the gun is rendered non operable you can ignore ALL of these rules.
I NEVER pull my weapon out if its loaded. If I need a technical issue addressed I put the gun in a case and the slide is locked and mag is out and empty.
Way to go.
Here in NZ concealed and open carry is illegal. The only way a handgun can be legally transported at any time is in a case, with any magazines unloaded.
@Van Guard
We didnt really give them up, we never really had them to begin with.
Exactly. I waited for the guy to say that if you are looking make upgrades on your weapon bring it in unloaded and in a carrying case. I'm not going to act like I'm the smartest guy ever. Seeing this video immediately took me back to a time I was trying to pawn a .22 handgun. Even though I'd made sure the chamber was cleared and the mag in a total different pocket. before i left my residence because my handgun permit needed to be renewed. I also transported it with the gun in the glovebox and mag in the center console. I'd be damned if I run into the cop that decides to go crazy after I let him know about the firearm. An then get shot for pulling a gun out of my pocket that is cleared and doesnt have the mag in . . Side note. My firearm will not fire unless the mag is the gun. So at the time I truly thought I was taking the proper precautions while transporting the weapon on my way to pawn it. . . But I did take it into the pawnshop in my back pocket because I was also carrying in my .22 rifle as well. I checked that the chamber was clear as I got into the car and when I arrived. So I triple checked. I pulled the mag out first. Then took the firearm out of my back pocket always pointed at the ground and laid it on the counter. I unfortunately did not think of the shop owner being upset that I had the handgun in my pocket because I did ask if he'd be interested before I pulled it out after he asked where I had it. I'm kind of ashamed I didnt think to bring it in inside a caring case. I would like to think if I had owned one at the time that I'd have brung it in like that. But I cant say for sure because I didnt. I truly thought I was being as cautious as possible. And after having this presented to me it makes all the sense in the world.. at least you can be sure I'll always do so from this point on. Thanks.
Jade Clothier that sucks that you cant carry man
I can't tell you how many times I've cleared my gun after already clearing it just because I'm nervous I'll do something stupid like this.
Better safe than sorry , it's good to always practice no matter how much experience
A firearm should be cleared everytime it is picked up, before it is handed over and after it is handed over. Otherwise it is loaded. AND it should be handled as if it is loaded even if it is cleared.
< 50 years of gun handling. I've had one negligent discharge. The rifle discharged on closing of the bolt, it was pointed downrange near the target. Yes, a gunsmith was involved in the repair of the sear.
I just saved my game let me save again just to be sure. It's alot better than turning off the game without being sure
Me too…Me too! 😂
I always clear my gun, take a quick walk back and forth across the room, then come back and clear it again before cleaning/dry firing. It may seem excessive but oh well.
Whenever I go to a shop to get a holster or new sites, I always take it in a case and hand them the case. It makes it a lot easier and safer for everybody.
I'd like to believe that the only reason this comment hasn't had more likes yet is only because most people aren't reading that many of the comments in general, because this is one of the most sensible and practical things described.
Like a handgun or rifle case ?
I do the same thing as well
That's exactly what I was thinking. Why not just take it in the case? I thought it was common sense 😂
I do that too. That’s the safest way. That should be a unwritten rule. No case no service.
I've always been amazed how common it was for people to sweet someone with the gun. As I told my students when I have taught Firearms classes, pretend there is a never-ending lightsaber beam coming from the barrel, anything it touches gets destroyed.
This should be titled. "How to get shot in a gun store without really trying."
When I was briefly in the Finnish army we were given a really good advice to prevent the sweeping. One should imagine a laser beam coming out of the barrel and not allow it to cut anyone. Good mental exercise.
Best advice I'd ever see in a YT comment. ^~^
Just point it at the ground at all times unless you mean to shoot and then there's no need to come up with silly abstractions. What's so difficult to understand about pointing it at the ground?
Because i don't want to aim the gun at my dog or my sisters couple months old baby.
I like that
Or you could just....idk..... think a little bit. You have a device to kill someone in your arms but you are less careful with it than you would a glass full of water. You are always mindful of the glass spilling but forget about the gun shooting.

Yep. I went to a gun store that had a jar full to the top with billets. The jar had a piece of tape on it that read, “It’s empty.”
I use to work at a gun shop, and that shit happens more than you would think. Usually military, vets, and police. Even caught employees out. The rule was any time we passed the gun between employees we cleared it again. Never cared if someone came in with a hot gun, as long as they were safe, and warned me. One old lady came in with a little derringer, and I asked if it was loaded (not like it mattered cause I was gonna clear it anyway), and she thought it would be funny to say "idk," while waving it around with her finger on the trigger. She flagged my head first, I started to dive behind the counter but before I could she turned and flagged all the customers standing behind her. My dive to the floor instantly changed to diving on her, and grabbing her wrist to point the gun towards the ceiling. All the employees and customers around me were just standing there half shitting themselves and half dumb struck. I definitely thought someone was going to die. Needless to say, she didn't get to handle that gun or any other guns in the store again. Put it behind the counter and bought it.
Great video. This is what licensed, legal and responsible gun owners look like. I really wish people on both sides of the debate watched videos like these to understand that the other side is not their enemy, that there are normal, regular people on both sides, not just the rare extremists who make the news.
Never been a gun owner, but I thought it was common sense to not point at someone with the barrel of a gun, unless you're gonna kill them.
Me too. Honestly, even the guards here in the Philippines are careless about where they point their guns. I've been swept several times by now by guards who just casually carry their shotguns around, slung around their neck and hand on the handle. But at least no finger on the trigger. Still, its just annoying to have any gun sweep across your position. Please people be more mindful of where you're pointing that thing. I'd say it's just goddamn rude.
It doesn't even make sense to carry loaded shotguns around. :\ Just keep a pistol in the holster.
it's rule of thumb really. Never point a gun at anything you don't wish to destroy. Plain and simple.
Holyspecter you would think it is common sense right. It is important to educate yourself with a competent professional like an NRA certified instructor in your area
IDK if the first sentence was a question or not. But after I educate myself with a competent professional like an NRA certified instructor in my area. Does it become alright to point at random people with a loaded gun or what are you arguing here?
Absolutely not lol.
The fundamental NRA rules for safe gun handling are:
ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. This is the primary rule of gun safety. ...ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. ...ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
I was taught 55 years ago that there's no such thing as an "accidental" discharge. If a firearm goes off when you didn't want it to, it's called a _negligent_ discharge. No "accident" about it. You just didn't clear it properly.
Sounds legit.

bs, many times design flaws in guns can make dangerous situations where accidental discharges do happen
Then you been lied to for 55 years.

Twice in a gun shop, I needed to ask a gunsmith to take a look at my pistol due to some sort of issue it was having. In the range, I emptied it and holstered it or boxed it with no mag. Then as I talked to the gunsmith I ASKED if it was ok to take it out and hand it to him. This isn't difficult with just a modicum of common sense.
Yep. All shops are different and have different rules. The best thing to do is ask before you just draw, my local shop I go to allows people to pull their firearm if you are checking mags, holsters or need to chat with the smith about it and allow you to clear your firearm in front of them as long as you ask.
Thank you.. Well sed... It's basic common sense & respectful to everyone around you.. It makes you look as a responsible gun owner...
Can you tell me where to get one of the modicums yer talking about?
@Yes Man Ummm. No, no one is saying that. I think you're misunderstanding. I carry loaded and concealed in gun shops all the time. But if you're gonna bring it to a gun shop to have them look at it, bring it empty and be clear with them about what you're there for to avoid problems. It's just a safer way to go about it. For example, if I'm bringing a gun to a shop to have it looked at, I'll often carry a different concealed gun other than the one I'm having them look at.
>> “just a modicum of common sense.”
I think you’ve located the difficult part.
When I bring my pistol or rifle into a gun shop it is in a case, magazine out, action locked to the rear. Been doing this since I obtained my CCP in 1973.

Don’t be stupid gun owners.
There is no way that many people came in with a round in the chamber in 2 weeks. No way!
i thought that was gonna be like a years worth of collections
I was at an indoor range a few weeks ago. A guy walks back from the line, pulls his gun out at the back counter and the RSO goes batshit crazy. The guy says calm down man, the gun's not loaded. The RSO takes the gun drops the mag racks to slide.... Yep, it was loaded. He was banned from the range, forever
That live round collection jar is INSANE!!! 😲
They should raffle the collection every month lol
When I took my CWP class we were taught to slide it 3 times to ensure it was empty. The man teaching the class was 30 year law enforcement veteran. He said he says to do it 3 times just to make sure you do it at least once.
I use the same rule when i'm locking the door before leaving. I always check the doorknob 3 times because i'm always wondering if i locked the door or not. Can't imagine being any less careful than that when it comes to firearms.
I do it three times, pause for a second, and then do it three times more.
Then drop the mag and clear all three areas: 1. Feed. 2. Ejection port 3. Barrel One if my instructors recommended we keep a rod/straw for this with the firearms.
You have to visually inspect the chamber...your teacher is a idiot.
I have an AKM, and while at most ranges we are only allowed to load a certain number of rounds into a mag, but after I use all the rounds in the mag I always pull the lever back twice to make sure nothing ejects. I taught my nephew the same thing when I let him shoot my AK and right before he went into the Marines.
I don't have my CPL yet, I don't even keep my 9mm loaded, mag out of the gun and again double pull on the slide to make sure the chamber is empty. That habit actually prevented an accident involving myself, because I was practicing dry firing my 9mm, and in this case I pulled the mag out, and before I went to dry fire the gun, I pulled the slide back to look into the chamber, and a round flew out of the chamber.
Shooting range I go to is also a gun shop. I keep my 9mm in its original manufacturer's box along with the mags. So when I present the weapon its not on me. I do have 1 mag at home that is always loaded, but never in my 9mm, and I don't bring that mag with me when I do go to the range / gun shop.
I just try to develop and re-enforce good habits. While I also have military friends/family to assist me with getting used to the firearm.

I agree that taking a gun out of a holster loaded or not without advanced notice is not safe. The one question I have is if you want to purchase a holster, sight or other accessory for the gun your carrying, how do you negotiate bringing your gun into a gun shop to shop for it.
If I absolutely NEED to bring a gun to a shop for some kind of service or whatever, I bring it in a closed gun case (unloaded, duh) and let the staff open it up.

I am newer to firearms, but also have my CCW. I have had several people"sweep" or flat out point and click at me. People with WAY more experience than me, including my own father. It is intensely unnerving. I always even after clearing it keep it pointed in a safe direction. Just a week ago my friend did it to me and said "It's not chambered.", to which I responded, "assume it is.".It's unreal how careless some people can be with it.

Turns out he "unloaded" the gun with the magazine still in, then later thought it was empty because no magazine. Terrible mistake, and it cost the life of his 19 year old friend and colleague.
Born around guns and served in the Navy. Three rules of Gun Safety:
1) Treat it as if its loaded.
2) Muzzle Awareness
3) Clear and Safe every time you present or examine a weapon.
These are good habits for Gun Safety because accidents happen and the law doesn't say "oops" to an accidental murder.

I went years without a weapon. When I decided to buy one, I went to a firing range, told the owner I needed to refresh my gun safety knowledge. He spent over 20 minutes going over things to do, not to do and I listened to every word before I rented a revolver to test out. I would recommend that to anyone who is thinking about a gun. Rent one and fire it at a range after the safety course. It was time well spent.
@DankNDoughnuts I have more than a revolver now. the revolver was a Taurus Judge, the one with the hammer locking key. I had to leave it home when I went on the road to CA. I came home and decided to go shooting. it was gone. It was locked, I hope the buyer paid for it before he found out.
I live 6 hours from the closest indoor range and probably 8 hours from the nearest indoor range that actually rents anything. Refreshing your knowledge of basic safety is always good, but man it would be a serious waste of everyone's time around here to go about a gun purchase like that xD

If you are going to a gun store and have some kind of "need" to show your weapon... Then bring the weapon to the store unloaded (without a magazine in the gun), and in the original factory case... This is the professional way to do it... (brownie points if you have a chamber flag)
And if you don't have a case, flag or lock? Leave it in your car, and go talk to them first. Take it in locked open

That's what was missing in the video -- the proper way to bring a gun into the store, for instance if it needs to be repaired or if you want them to put new sights on it for you or something along those lines.
Now if it's a bolt-action high-powered hunting rifle before you bring it in the shop make sure you completely remove the bolt from the rifle and keep it separated from the rifle inside the case before you bring it inside the shop.

#1 gun safety rule...Treat EVERY gun as it it were loaded.
It could be as simple as being in your car before you go in and making sure that it is unloaded
Unless the rifle/pistol is cleared and disabled. If you for instance, take the BCG out, then it’s okay to inspect the barrel.
I agree 50%, being someone who was military, and is currently an employee at a gunshop in California the no unholstering crap is crap. When someone wants to unholster we have a sign saying "if you want to unholster your lawfully concealed handgun, simply ask us, clear towards floor, and hand us the handgun for yours, others and our safety" so if they want to try holsters we as in the employee and the customer do so together in a safe manner. We haven yet to have a problem with carriers. Now bagged long guns and handguns is another story...
Ex Oz military. First time on the range we were told, ''Do not point a firearm at anyone unless you are about to shoot them.... and on that note, if someone points a firearm at you they are about to shoot you, because nobody would disobey my orders. You have my permission to do whatever it takes, to stop that rifle being pointed at you.'' Even the dumbest recruit soaked that up, lol. Always treat them as loaded. Even if you are 100% sure, the person in the shop doesn't know that.
if you're bringing your gun to the shop just transport it in a case, let the employee handle it!
Wow, one guy out of a hundred gave the right answer. Where the hell did these people get their gun safety training?

If you are looking to have work done on your firearm, bring it in unloaded and cased. It's also a good courtesy to walk in and let them know before actually bringing it in.
I can't imagine bringing a gun into a gun store without having it flagged and in its case. WTF is wrong with people?
Lmao bring in a flagged weapon sound like the same type of guys who watch Utube and complain the guy didn't publicly check it first or FLAG IT 🤣. Sorry just find it funny that a person has to do all that just to bring in a firearm, as long as mag is out they clear chamber and point it in a safe direction and the person taking it does the same.

Larry Larsen I think I just said that. My kids were handling guns when they were old enough to hold them. That was the rule I laid down for them and they've always been as safe as a person can be with any firearm.
I would tell them "even if you see the chamber and can see the light in the barrel, it's loaded".
+skippy dippy It's so simple, like it SHOULD come natural. But people say they respect the gun, when what they really should respect is what it does. So they end up feeling almighty powerful instead of being mindful about where the damn Thing is pointing - - - not to mention where they keep their trigger-finger while showing off their piece. That's also a first and foremost: Keep your finger off the trigger until you have drawn a bead and are ready to fire.
+skippy dippy That is honestly how I treat all of mine, but my friends laugh at me. I was raised to the point that I would get cracked in the face if I passed the barrel, empty or not, past a person or handle it otherwise lackadaisical. I think people need to stop being so comfortable with their gun and understand what it can do. About seven years ago my buddy was playing around with his AR in the house like a fool as usual, and he did his little tap rack clear he likes doing. Well guess what, he had a loaded magazine in it and forgot. Pulled the trigger to release the firing pin and literally, I shit you not, popped a 5.56 round about a foot and a half above my head out the ceiling. I was sitting on the bed and he was standing up facing me with the barrel at about a 45 degree angle. Had it been about 6" lower I would be dead today. His dad came in (who is a police officer and army vet) and grabbed the rifle, cleared it and then decked him right in the face. I thought that was an ok punishment......but he deserved it.
There is no need to fear your gun, per se, but you need to respect the shit out of it. It isn't a fancy little shiny toy to play around with.

In the British Army in the 70s I was taught that there is no such thing as an "accidental discharge". It is a NEGLIGENT discharge.
I was taught more gun safety by the time I was 10 years old than I believe a lot of adults receive in their whole life. I've been to gun ranges where people wave barrels around when they're holding a loaded weapon pointed at me with their finger on the trigger. I've seen idiots at the gun range actually sweep up brass and put it right under the feet of other shooters, not understanding the purpose of sweeping brass up. I've walked into too many gun ranges where the second you walk through the door onto the actual range to shoot, you're walking on a layer of spent shell casings. Most of the people there were 35 and under and didn't even understand apparently, that you need to sweep your brass up so that nobody holding a firearm loses their balance and falls, while holding a Loaded firearm. I'm very pleased to see you guys put out these kind of videos. Never be bashful, it's better to embarrass or anger people, than allow them to kill themselves with a stupid mistake. There are worse things in life than being offended, call me an old man, but I think getting shot is one of them. Great video, keep up the good work.

Tell people a solution. Tell us if we have a question about our firearm, to please bring it in, without the magazine inserted, and the breach/slide in the locked open position. Preferably in a case. Or, simply take a picture of the firearm, and bring in the picture.
I will keep the picture thing mind
Good tips thanks
"What to do" ... FLAG and BOX your firearm if you are going to present it in a store !!! ... NO EXCEPTIONS !!!
telling what not to do leaves a lot of variables open for interpretation allowing these kinds of interactions where the slide insn't breached. very good comment wish i could like it 10 times
Squidly I’m assuming box means have it in its case but what does it mean to flag your firearm?
yeah i think that is a good rule though they are some exceptions, if the workers at the gun shop ask for the gun lets say you wanted something repaired or something isn't working right and need help or need a sight fitted on the gun, then that is an exception but don't be a lunkhead carry another gun holstered and bring the gun in question in a box or something with the slide held back with no magazine in it, showing it's not loaded..
You didn’t cover how to properly bring a weapon into a store to trade it or sell it.
Good point. I guess it might be a good idea to keep one's hands off the gun until told exactly what to do by the shop staff. Never a bad idea to ask someone exactly what they want you to do, in so many aspects of life, IMHO.
When I've went to sell, I've always transported mine into the store in a case with the bolt/slide locked back and magazine removed and made conversation before opening the case. Always open the case in a way that the employee can see the firearm as well. I don't work at a store but this has been my process and it's worked well.
Bring it in a closed up case. Let them open it.
Any time you can- Call ahead. Whether you need a gunsmith, or you want to sell. Just call the store before leaving home. They will tell you what they want as far as how to bring it in. It doesn't dawn on you halfway through your gun store trip "I need to pull this thing out". If you need to pull it out, that is likely the whole reason for the trip. I have only been able to think of 3 circumstances to bring it in apart from just carrying (in which case it DOESN'T leave the holster)
1- gunsmith needs to work on it
2- you intend on selling the gun
3- leather shop is making a custom holster and needs to inspect the guns. (that one is extremely specific though, you don't need to pull it out to see if your Springfield xd will fit in the blackhawk holster at the end of the isle, it will. Much more directed at things like a hand crafted western gun belt for your revolvers and your belt line)
1 or 3, they should know in advance. Have them in a case and already made safe at home with slide/chamber open. Don't leave loaded mags in the case, don't leave any ammo at all in the case. Just the gun. They may give you additional safety instructions they want, during your talk.
2- again, it should have been discussed at least a little before coming in with the gun. make the gun safe, put the lock on it, put it in the case with all the (empty) magazines and accessories you intend to sell with it.
1 2 and 3 let them remove them from the case and let them verify its clear.
Do they really need to cover how to take a clip out pull back the slide and check and see if there's a bullet in there!

Crackerjack, Yes! I know where im moving now, those kids at school are gonna pay! Thx Mr for your help! 😀🙏🏾
I Don’t Get The Joke LOL, you don’t get the joke??? Seems you don’t understand firearms! The joke is when you have a round chambered and you go to clear that round as a safety precaution before you disengage the magazine what happens is you pull the slid back to un-chamber that round but by not disengaging the magazine first, you clear that chambered round but when you release the slide, you just chambered another round and when you then disengage the magazine and pass it to someone you’re in fact passing to them a loaded weapon So ALWAYS, ALWAYS! Disengage the magazine BEFORE you clear the chamber! There ay go and therein lies the joke.

EVERYONE please be safe out there.
I bet he cleared it with the magazine in... can’t tell you how many times people have cleared a gun and THEN unload the magazine.
Active Sync I honestly have no idea what you said or what it means.
@active hur dur hur durrrr?
Am I speaking correctly? 😂😂😂
That's what happens when you don't have gun licensing. Here in Canada we have to take a firearms course for non restricted and restricted. Then apply for a firearms license. During the course you learn how to safely handle all types of firearms. Like muzzle control and how to clear a firearm safely. You then have to pass a practical test and written test.
MuffHam Yeah :( too many people in the US see stuff like that as tyrannical or a waste of time. Really sucks considering the amount of idiots who buy guns.
@@MuffHam
In America we believe in freedom and personal responsibility. That also means we are willing to pay the price for those who are irresponsible.
little tip, guns are always loaded, even when they're not.
+tyler roberts why?
Myo swe the mindset that a gun is a dangerous device that should be handled with utmost care is a good habit to get into, keeps the gunshot wounds to a minimum.
tyler roberts Yeah i know that, but the way you said it the first time made no sense.
Myo swe read it again, it makes perfect sense.
Guns are always loaded, even if they are not loaded.
GUNS SHOULD ALWAYS BE TREATED AS IF LOADED, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT.
Great video! I just started learning how to shoot guns from our local gun shop. I bought one an went to the gun shop to ask a question about it. I pulled the gun out and I found out pretty fast that you should not do that! I am very glad you guys did a video on this subject. I'm 66 yrs old and absolutely am having the time of my life with this sport. Wish I started sooner.
Agree with everything you said. So many people are just getting into firearm ownership over the past few years that unfortunately have no real experience in safe handling practices so this video is a good lesson for them as well as a reminder to those that have been around firearms for years.
More people are shot by the "unloaded" gun than a loaded one.
RED MAMBA how?
Me dude... Are you a dumbass.
Me Dude "I didn't know it was loaded!" Or "I thought it was unloaded!" As they tell the police how their friend was shot to death.
RED MAMBA There's an old saying: "The unloaded weapon fires the loudest."
That's bull
Thank you for doing this. If we don’t “police ourselves”, then we invite others to do it for us...
Absolutely agreed. If a customer wants an employee to see his/her weapon, it should be unloaded and in a case. No one should ever draw a weapon unless there is intent to use it..
Not saying I disagree, but what do they do if they don’t have a case? Put it in a plastic bag?
@@tdoyr I walked into my local store without a case when was buying a holster, I just had the slide locked back and told the clerks I was there for a conceal holster.
@@tdoyr Buy a gun case off amazon. Can buy one for as little as $10. You don't have to ball out for anything major if you're looking for a way to safely transport a firearm to & from gun stores. Just have the firearm (unchambered & no mag) in it.
There are easy steps to take to make this safe and painless for everyone involved.
Demonstrating the correct method to bring in your firearm for service, etc. would be helpful too. I bring my pistol in the store in a case cleared and locked open and put the case on the counter and let the person on the other side open the case. I've got a hunting rifle with a scope with an AR mount on a weaver rail that could better use ring mounts so I'll be taking it in to get that done soon and it will be fairly the same thing. Thanks for helping to better educate all of us.
Good video...I think all gun shops should keep a glass jar full of rounds that were chambered in "empty" guns.
Scott G they could call it the Jar of Shame 😂
Most would fill a gallon jar every few months.
Scott G
master cheef you big mad or
Little mad?
Scott G haha that's good I like that idea
Any time I needed to take my gun to a gun store, needing a screw for the sight, a holster, whatever, I've left the gun in the car, unloaded & locked back. Went in the store, talked to clerk, said what I needed and if it was ok to go back to car & bring it in. Everyone was cool with this and in the umpteen years of me having guns, no one was ever 'accidentally' shot
i have mines inside the box i purchased it in with a lock on it.
I wil go to jail if i own a gun
But... If somebody stole your car with gun in it?
I am from the UK. I was trained in the Army with firearms and with a local gun club before we were not allowed to possess a handgun. When I had my pistols, and rifles, and needed to take them to the shop for repair or whatever, I made sure the weapon was clear, no magazine fitted and it was in a box or gunslip with the slide removed or the bolt / working parts removed. Maybe this practice ought to be used in your shop. It's not the gun that kills, it is the person using it.
Yea this is normally what I do
