NSSF does a fantastic job when it comes to gun safety, but as the kids say nowadays, the caca the bed on this one…twice.

First cringe:

“Make sure you have a fully lockable case and TSA compliant lock.”

NO! Period! Full stop!

Quoting TSA:

 Only the passenger should retain the key or combination to the lock unless TSA personnel request the key to open the firearm container to ensure compliance with TSA regulations. You may use any brand or type of lock to secure your firearm case, including TSA-recognized locks.

I still do not know why this myth of gun cases need to be locked with TSA-compliant locks. I can go on about statistics related to theft at airports, but I am better off just showing you why it is a bad idea to have TSA locks: You can buy the master keys.

 

And then we go to cringe part 2. I don’t think I need to explain much, do I?

It is the Four Rules, not the four suggestions.

  1. Reminds me of the infringers ad a while ago where they hired some actors, dressed them in flannel and cowboy boots and had them pretend to be gun owners begging people to take their guns away.

    Watch the old man in the music video _Tornado_ by little big town. Those fingers have the look of a farmer’s, with dirt under the fingernails and all the little cuts and scratches working hands get.

    The actor in this video was just reading a script and doesn’t know the four rules. He might have been told it was a prop gun so “safe”

Only one rule: Don't be a dick.
