These two guys were banned from the shooting range for this idiocy:

On Edit: This is why I think people should be required to pass a safety test to use guns, just as they do to drive a car.

8. LOL, that is your take away from the video??? Hmmmm. nt

[at140]

25. See post #17 nt

[Rob H.]

11. Uh...that's not a Redhawk he was being stupid with

The Redhawk is a revolver.

[FSogol]

23. Translation: "My Precioussss!"

[SMC22307]

24. No one's impressed. (n/t)

[riversedge]

2. taking a selfie of himself pointing a gun at someone. Should have had a humungous fine

--hit him where it hurts!

[Turin_C3PO]

3. Idiot.

My dad is a gun owner (not a gun nut, he’s for fairly strict gun control) and he calls guys like that “slobs”.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Doing his Dirty Harry impersonation...

"Do you feel lucky?"

Uh, well, not particularly, asshole.

[tblue37]

5. You have to admire the speed and efficiency of the safety monitor who disarmed the

fool.

[irisblue]

9. For real. I gasped when I saw the fool put the gun against his friends face

Truly an asshole move

[Brother Buzz]

14. For sure

I suspect the range officer was picking up vibes and observing tells from the get-go; this was not his first rodeo.

[at140]

17. Because the safety monitor was right there

usually there is no one watching you at gun range.
But regardless, it is really asinine to point a gun at
any other person. There could be a bullet left in the
magazine and accidents do happen. Guns are not a
toy! I wish everyone was required to have a license
to own a gun, with periodic exams for renewals just
like driver's license.

[USALiberal]

27. Nice post, I agree with you. I had to take a class and a test for my CC......

now Kansas has no requirement. Anyone over 21 can CC even if they have never touched a gun. Makes no sense.

[GulfCoast66]

29. I go to the range once a year to shoot my rifle before deer season

And I drive over an hour away, passing many ranges to shoot at one with very strict rules and range masters who enforce them religiously.

[at140]

31. probably a wise move

I am always nervous at gun ranges because there are all these strangers with guns and plenty of ammo, and they don't check anyone's background. I usually go with my adult daughter, and we stay alert.

Luckily we don't hear many shootouts at gun ranges.

[blugbox]

6. This should be an immediate revocation of his gun license

For life. No excuses.

[Sneederbunk]

7. What license?

[GulfCoast66]

30. I have never lived in a state that requires a license

[Drahthaardogs]

10. These are idiots. A safety test will no more help them than

The driving test does the fools who text and drive on the highway

[7wo7rees]

12. There are SPECIAL guns for these "slobs"

?w=980&q=75

[Roland99]

13. Just some good ol' boys. Never meanin' no harm

[Caliman73]

15. In California it is a requirement to pass a safe handling demonstration.

To purchase a firearm you have to take a safety test every 5 years. To pick up a fire arm you have to have a safety lock with a receipt and you have to demonstrate safe handling of the firearm. Mainly for handguns though. Should be for long arms too in my opinion. Those guys should be put on a list and be banned from owning or possessing, at least until they demonstrate fully that they understand the stupidity of their behavior.

[at140]

18. CA is sensible, no such exam in WA or FL.

[Caliman73]

20. Yes. I have to agree.

There are some rules which I disagree with, but overall, California is not the ogre on gun ownership that the red states make it out to be.

[john657]

21. Nor, to my knowledge, in Wyoming,

although I haven't touched a firearm since my days in the Army, too many bad memories of the destruction they cause.

[ProudLib72]

16. That safety officer is messing with his 2nd amendment rights!

Where is clearly states eejits have the right to blow their buddy's brains out at the range.

[john657]

19. What a fucking moron.

Guns are not toys, they are deadly weapons and these fucking morons shouldn't be anywhere near a firearm.

First thing I learned in the Army when handling a firearm, always assume it is loaded and never, ever, point a firearm at anyone you aren't planning to destroy.

[Demovictory9]

22. yikes

[ginny skinny]

26. I see it this way...

Based on my experience 90% of shooting enthusiasts are like the range officer, 1% are like the dumbasses and 9% are in between somewhere.

[UTUSN]

28. "pass safety tests"?!1 - how about MENTAL HEALTH tests?!1 And emotional maturity tests?!1
