1. Any clue who this fool is?

2. I kept ducking.

3. This falls under the exception to rule 1, he cleared it himself and never put it down, so I’m fine with him not trearing it like it’s loaded. Still, pointing it at himself and finger on the trigger are less than optimal.

   1. I wasn’t taught any such exception to rule 1 in my gun safety class.

4. It’s the booger collector on the go button that is freaking me out. Even if he cleared the pistol himself, and there is zero ammo within a mile of him, the casual way he holds the gun with finger on the trigger is frightening.

   If it is common for him to violate the 3rd law with an unloaded gun, what makes you think he does not do so with a loaded gun?

   Then there is the “staring down the barrel” bit. Seriously, WTF!!!! He could have shown off the sight picture with the gun offset from his face. You only get one “oops!” in that situation.

   1. And, correct me on this, but when he shows the extended magazine, it looks like it is fully loaded. Which means the next time he points it directly at his face, it does have ammo in it. Granted, he did not load the chamber, but still a spectacularly stupid thing to do.

5. And he never cleared the barrel after he dropped the mag. Even my liberal, gun-sort-of-hating designer saw that and thought the guy was off his rocker. “Even I know not to point the gun at anyone OR yourself unless you mean it!”, she said. Slow process but I am working on her.

6. There’s far too many stories of people ‘clearing’ their guns, and getting either an unexpected live cartridge popping out of an empty chamber, or an unexpected loud noise instead of a click.
   And it only takes one minor goof or bit of inattention for either to happen.

   If you got to look down the danger hole, locking the slide back isn’t that hard of a thing to do.
