This guy has an interesting safety technique

clintpup · April 24, 2017, 07:25 PM

Maybe we should all adopt this guy's "danger check." I'll bet it could replace all four rules of gun safety by itself!

Play with a gun, point it all over the place, and THEN check to see if it is loaded?

I suggest sparing us any more such "advice".

No

JoeSixpack · April 24, 2017, 11:14 PM

James clearly clintpup posted it sarcastically.

the guy in the video is obviously doing it for shock value.. he knows it's loaded.. Im not saying it's a good idea though.

He's probably trying to upset the safety trolls on YT who will go nuts if you don't show clear for the camera.

**JohnKSa** · April 25, 2017, 12:13 AM

Go to 12:02 in the video to see his girlfriend sweep him with the muzzle of a loaded pistol while doing a cross-draw.

BoogieMan · April 26, 2017, 03:21 PM

They squint like Popeye when shooting. WTH

Mr. Hill · April 26, 2017, 06:47 PM

The knife reviews on YouTube are the worst. Seriously. The worst.

**Frank Ettin** · April 26, 2017, 08:25 PM

Let's see:

No eye protection.
Sloppy presentation (bowling) from the holster.
Overall sloppy gun handling.

Those are things that could easily get cleaned up in a few hours with a good instructor

Not if you're convinced you're the one who's right and everyone else is wrong. I thought it might be interesting to look at other videos on that channel for some background and it answered a lot of questions.

Eazyeach · April 27, 2017, 10:35 AM

They're a couple of lazy-eyed slack-jawed mouth breathers and I hope they never hurt anyone else on the range. I for one would leave any range these idiots were at. Same type of people with no muzzle awareness at gun shops/shows ,because "it's not loaded".

BigMikey76 · April 27, 2017, 03:10 PM

I think my favorite part was the "danger check" at the beginning. The whole point of doing that is to ensure that the gun is empty, which he seems to be doing, but it turns out he actually chambered a round when he racked the slide - the complete opposite of what he appeared to be doing. BRILLIANT!!

Tactical Jackalope · April 27, 2017, 03:50 PM

This is terrible.

Chris_B · April 27, 2017, 04:26 PM

I stopped watching it after the 'danger check' put a round in the chamber.

StickSixBang · April 28, 2017, 12:39 PM

It just takes one negligent discharge to forever change your outlook on gun safety. Hopefully it scares you at worst and nobody gets hurt, or worse.

I'd be pissed if that girl swept me when drawing like that.

Anybody cam post on Youtube as though they're experts. No IQ test required.

Danoobie · April 30, 2017, 02:23 AM

Let me see if I've got this straight:
He "danger checks" the gun, by chambering a round.
CHECK, the gun IS now dangerous.
THEN he goes on to explain how useless the safety is.
My guess would be he didn't sleep at the Holiday Inn
Business Express last night.
IMO, he belongs on "Danger Island" with Chongo, and
the rest of the Neanderthals...

KyJim · May 1, 2017, 08:34 PM

The weirdest thing is that the guy has almost 29,000 subscribers! But maybe they're waiting to see if he shoots himself.

Nobody born after 1975 has any idea what you mean

MosinNOUGAT · May 2, 2017, 05:37 PM

Haha, ya waving around a loaded handgun with a round in the chamber is a GREAT idea!

Maybe he wants to shoot his computer after one of his TFL threads gets closed for being extremely off topic!

Can't believe how some people handle firearms. . .

Carmady · May 2, 2017, 09:01 PM

That guy might have seen this, and tried to modernize it for youtube. "Its the unloaded guns that kill you."

Why I hate public ranges you never know the moron that is next to you.

rickyrick · May 5, 2017, 12:55 PM

You gotta watch this guy after drinking rum.

I was like "wait a minute" "did this dude just 'safety check' a friggin live round into the chamber?"
Turns out LATER that he indeed safety checked a live round into the chamber. Cringe and shudder.

It probably is one of the worst videos I've seen.

Even without the idiotic safety check it was terrible.

Dill · May 5, 2017, 01:19 PM

a bad attempt at being funny, maybe. The cross draw sweep of the camera man was pretty bad, though.

He said, "Danger check," then he chambered a round. Then he said, "Yes, it's dangerous."

Danoobie · May 8, 2017, 01:13 PM

Yeah, Chris, everybody's a critic.

Were I this you-toober, I'd be worried about the legal
consequences of showing the wrong way to clear a
pistol on the internet, and being held liable for injuries,
sustained by some noob who followed this video to the
letter.

terminology, he referred to clearing a pistol as a
"danger check"...
