I miss Barry. I feel a little out of line saying that, because I only knew him through these videos, but I liked him, and learned alot from him. Eric, u and Chad are my go to for advise, and it's good to know there are like minded people out there, it makes me feel less alone. And I know Barry was proud of u, and enjoyed your friendship. Keep up the good work, and thank u for all the education throughout the years boys!! Cheers!!!!
I think you're fine bud we all miss him 😢
It’s been years and I still miss seeing Barry on the channel
I guess I am fortunate that in 24 years in the military and over 50 years handling weapons I have never had an accidental discharge. I am knocking on wood real hard right now.
Yeah no doubt, don't go saying that too often lol, all it takes is one moment of complacency to make things all too real
+Mike Mathers With discipline instilled by my dad, an outdoorsman and Vietnam vet, I'm the same way . I've been shooting and hunting for 17 years and never had an accidental discharge. Only once did I find one in the chamber that I wasn't aware of.... because every other time I assumed there was one in there too.
Same here, all of my family love to collect guns, and my grandfather is an ex-Marine, my brother is an Army vet, and my brother-in-law, as well as the rest of his family, are all military. They take discipline very seriously. Never had an accidental discharge.
24 years and you still sound like a basic boot.
Knock on wood, 47yrs handling firearms and never an accidental discharge.
my dads friend was a man who enjoyed his liquor to put it nicely. and one day he came home and was watching tv and low and behold gunsmoke came on and right before mat dylan could draw and fire he freaking blew the tv set away both barrels on a shotgun and said " I always knew i could out draw him"
I can't stop laughing.
Holy crap. XD
LMAO that's great.
I'll take shit that never happened for $500
Travis Hutchison if you take your ass up the street and get a job and stop trolling people on CZcams you might know what having 500$ is like.
I've been shooting for over 40 years without an AD or even an accidental hammer strike; maybe I'm lucky, maybe I'm careful. Probably both. I hate to see it excused as "everyone will have one" but I do think the attitude that "it CAN happen to me" is a wise one to cultivate.
Just my $0.02
chuckugly it’s like driving. Eventually everyone will be involved in some sort of motor vehicle collision over their lifetime. You can still be the safest driver in the world and something go wrong.
It’s nothing like driving. Accidents from a motor vehicle aren’t entirely in your control; firearms are.
Yeh.. I would say if you are always safe in handling your weapon, you should never have a negligent discharge. Yeah mistakes can happen to anyone but when handling firearms their is no room. For mistakes
@@kingtut8367 - Except for neglect discharge.
Agree 100% even though im only 28 years old.
I can relate to Barry 100%. Sure wish he was still around. A few years ago I woke up to go deer hunting and was pretty hungover and very carefree back then. I loaded my 44 magnum lever gun while standing in the kitchen which was my first mistake.. Then when I lowered the hammer my thumb slipped off and I sent a round straight into my dishwasher. Fortunately I was alone and the metal frame of the dishwasher door actually stopped the round but I was so mad at myself that I just stood there and shook my head in disbelief said "damn it boy" and walked out and went hunting and didn't even inspect the damage until I got home. Biggest advice I can give is to never say it "can't" or "won't" happen to you because that's exactly the kind of thinking that will get you in trouble. And take it easy on the whiskey and beans..
I had a similar situation with a .22 revolver, it was my first time going shooting (had just turned 18, my pop started me late) I was loading the damn thing, went to lower the hammer and the damn thing slipped from under my thumb and went off,
Luckily we were out in the desert so the round hit a patch of sand, but damn that hurt my ego and I was about ready to hang up my coat for the day.
I fired a 9 x 18 Makarov into my ceiling a few months ago. I don't have anything to say for myself except that I tried to dry fire it after I was SURE it was still unloaded. I just got lazy and complacent about always double checking. I'm the biggest advocate for safety around, but it happened to me. I felt sick to my stomach and didn't want to touch a gun for a while after that. I talked to a gunsmith and he basically said it's happened to even the best of gun owners and I should just take it as a tough lesson.
TheMartianSummer yup happens to us all.
It’s Traumatizing hard to get over it. I been handing and shooting guns as far back has I can remember at least 25 years. Shot my Ceiling the other day cleaning my 9mm.
sounds like there was still a degree proper gun control there, you did have it pointed in a safe direction, up. We all have had something like this happen, just continue pointing in a safe direction when pulling trigger, no matter how empty it is
@@dudeman8622 I just had a discharge about 45 minutes ago. It's an old police revolver I own. Was trying to clean it. I usually keep it unloaded, and when I went to lower the hammer my finger slipped. Shot my wall. Thankfully it's a very small round so it didn't go through. Hit the wall and fell to the floor. Also thankful I live in the country with fee neighbors. Still shaking honestly.
Serves you right for being g a y enough to own a Mak unironically
In 50+ years of handling Firearms,I’ve had two AD’s. One when I first started,and one two weeks ago. The first was an Astra 400,purchased for $20 thru the mail,( in 1965,before the GCA of ‘68),loaded with .38 Supers. I blew a wide hole in the downstairs lathe-and-plaster wall,scattering debris up and down the hallway. The second was my Glock 20,loaded with full bore 10mm,which I stupidly fired while trying to dry fire. The round went into a box of magazines I had on the floor,totally destroying an AR -15 Pmag. The point is,whenever I’ve pulled the trigger on any unloaded firearm,I always point it in a safe direction. Having a round exit my house and penetrate someone else’s house could ruin everything I’ve worked for.
Accidental: Could not be prevented no matter how 'right' your actions were.
Negligence: Loss of intention. Distracted.
A range officer I knew in the service referred to accidents as "intentions left behind".
Every work place "accident" I have had to sit down and report always but always involves an element of not being present in the moment, with attention not focused on the physical elements at hand. Tired, in a hurry, hot bothered, mind on something else, not paying strict attention and realizing that all day long our attentions wanders like a drunk. Slips, falls, burns, sprains, breaks all of it. And trust me, no one ever got out of bed that day and planned on it. I wish I could say, no problem, couldn't happen to me. Act scared, pay absolute attention, and above all do it not under time pressure and with a full nights sleep. Best video you guys have ever put up, by a long shot. Thanks for being so candid.
This was the best and most relevant post in the entire thread. Thank you.
Only had one in my life (so, far.)
Circa 1975, I was about 20, Dad went fishing so I was alone in the house. 1911A1, shot a hole in the ceiling (and roof, of course.) Scared me to death. I was able to fix everything before Dad got home, so he never knew....
I think negligent discharges make everyone feel the same way too. Everyone feels like a complete fucking moron when they ad their weapon.
+Nick B It's one big wake up call that's for sure.
Definitely a huge wakeup call, and hopefully the only one anyone should ever need...some people keep making the same mistakes though, Barry wasn't afraid to admit to being the type to make those same mistakes multiple times lol.
I know I handle firearms in a completely different manner , I also check them a million times before doing anything. In a way I'm glad it happened.
I've watched many of your vids and I found this one particularly compelling and here is why: on the range recently, I had a malfunction and had to go to the local gun shop to have it cleared with a live round in the chamber, almost. I taped up the hammer on my 1911 and put it into my shooting bag. I paid attention to which direction the muzzle was pointed and stood in the corner of the shop while my shooting partner went to the counter to explain the situation. When I was told to come forward, they already knew the situation and I unzipped the bag and removed the pistol with the muzzle pointed in the safest direction I could. The guy helping us thanked me for the care I had taken to insure everyone's safety and got the round cleared. As a result of my care they didn't charge me for the extraction. My point is this: when in a situation like mine people do appreciate the fact that you have taken care to keep everyone safe. I understand why and I admit to being nervous even though I had done everything possible to make it so.
Appreciated this. I had my first ever ND (No injuries, for which I pray in thanks, just a hole in my beloved car..) and it is the worst feeling in the world. A friend is purchasing his first handgun and I offered to show him my carry gun to see if he liked how it felt; so we went to my car. I cleared the weapon (successfully, at first) and showed it to him and when he handed it back, I slid the mag back in and reholstered it. As we continued discussing it, I took out the mag but, like a complete idiot, did not check the chamber. Thankfully I've had it drilled into my hard head enough times to always keep the weapon pointed in a safe direction. When I went to dry fire it..let's just say that it's true when they say that the loudest noise is a click when you're expecting a bang, and a bang when you're expecting a click. My group of friends thought it was pretty hilarious and just shrugged it off as an accident, but I have never felt so embarrassed and terrible about something like that. I could have so easily have injured someone, and I've always prided myself on being extremely careful with firearms. I'm still shaken by it, and still feel guilty, but I can guarantee that I'll never do it again. It really taught me that we are all human, and taught me the incredible importance of always keeping it pointed in a safe direction. It was an incredibly humbling experience that should not have happened in the first place, but hopefully these stories serve as examples and reminders for how serious the issue of safety is.
Well your training saved everybody you aimed it in a safe direction don’t beat yourself up about it
I had a negligent discharge only a little over an hour ago. I was investigating the rounds hitting the feed ramp wrong on my new Saiga 5.56, with these surp mags. After I was done, without thinking and with the loaded mag still in the gun, I reassembled the gun and pulled the trigger without thinking or checking the gun. Now you can judge me all you want, call me stupid or dumb. But I was one of the guys who NEVER thought this would happen to me. I have never had any problems like this in the past, and I am pretty sure I owe a couple guys some money now due to losing this bet. Anyways, the round went straight into my tile floor. Thank God nobody got hurt. Be safe people, if it ever happens to you, it will come when you least expect it, and it won't be fun at all.
***** Heh, no more murdered tiles! And I still love it! I won't ever make that mistake again, still have the brass sitting on top of the gun cabinet just as a small reminder
Captain HighHorse At least you have the guts to admit your mistake. What galls me are people who get on their high horse (pun not intended) and call people who make mistakes stupid losers, and, of course, criticizing party can never imagine that happening to him! When it eventually does, it is a 'humbling' experience for those ignorant fools!!! I only hope that if the ND happens to them the muzzle end is pointed at their heads. Oh, BTW, I haven't had one but I understand and appreciate that we as humans are not perfect, And I am just p'd off and not serious about those who criticize others for their mistakes should have ND with muzzle pointed at their head. .
I just had one yesterday night myself. Not thinking about it I was cooking around with my AR at my girlfriends house and shot a round off into the wall in the bedroom closet. It's dumb I know but I was also one of those guys that didn't ever think it would happen to me
@@xaviersmith2926. Well if you cook a round, of course is going to go off;-)
I just had it happen to me about 45 minutes ago. Went to clean my old police revolver which I usually keep unloaded. The hammer was back and the cylinder was locked. Tried to bring down the hammer and my finger slipped. Thankfully my walls are rather sturdy, and I live in the country with few neighbors. The bullet hit the wall and fell to the floor. Still shaking honestly. Feels like shit.
Thank you so much for these vids. I’m an old rifle owner first time pistol owner and your vids have helped me act “right” at indoor and outdoor ranges as well at gun stores. RIP Berry.
God Barry was funny. Gonna miss that guy.
Same here. I go bk and watch some of these old videos to remember Barry’s character, we need some of that these days in our attitude towards guns & citizenship in the US practicing the 2A
Steven Bentsen I just started watching this channel over quarantine. Barry is the greatest
What ever happened to him
Unfortunately he passed of heart trouble, RIP Barry!
Barry was and is one of the greatest people for firearm information and amazing person. We miss you always
Thanks Barry you are missed in this channel
Man I love this channel. I hope youtube doesnt screw these guys over in 2019, all they do is offer safety tips and educational videos. Plus entertainment.
Lol, the cop story was hilarious
+Mider999 I lol'd during the Armed Forces argument.
When I did my ccw class, the first thing that was done was the showing of two videos, both of which showed a LEO shooting himself.
This video is extremely valuable in that it illustrates that even "very" experienced gun-people with expert-level firearms aptitudes are subject to AD/ND's. If that does not compel one to realize the 'potential danger' of what nowadays is essentially an everyday part of our attire, than I do not know what would...
Everyone learns from their own mistakes, smart people look from other peoples mistakes. It surely will be me the day I slip up.
Eric looks so young n raggity in these old videos
hello from the UK, great videos, when it comes to firearm safety in a non combat scenario its always better to be over safe, when i shoot a side by side 12g i always visually check the 2 barrels for obstructions and make sure i have the weapon pointed 45 at the ground when not ready to fire. love the videos, keep them coming.
RIP Barry, your greatly missed by all of us.
One of the only CZcams channels i have followed thru the years.
This particular video is actually one of your best.
just had my first one(extremely pissed ay myself) 357mag dead tired for some dumb reason thought the gun wasn't loaded(i'm kicking myself) and pulled the trigger, damn lucky it was pointed down only have a hole in the downstairs ceiling called the police in case someone else did so they would have my side of the story and would be less jumpy they came asked some questions gave some suggestions and left and the only thing i'm left with is hurt pride(very fuckin pissed at myself all this happened about 2 hours ago, this video really helped ease my mind thankfully no one got hurt.
***** it's burned into my soul and the casing is on top of my gun safe
*****
***** i actually don't recall it being loud or hearing it, since iwas very tired, but it was the action that woke me up. if you don't mind, what is your experience?
TheRealestEver we both got lucky.
***** let everyone learn from my mistakes is something i'd like to do, especially with stuff like this considering that it could've been worse.
This is my favorite video, hands down. Barry's stories are absolutely priceless!
I'll never forget this video as long as I live. Thank you.
My uncle shot the kitchen cabinet at a thanksgiving gathering.
These videos are excellent for anyone especially beginners.
Anyone who thinks they know everything should be watching these.
appreciate you guys sharing your stories. I've been shooting for just over a year, and own two pistols. I have had no issues, and hope I never do, but if I do I hope no one gets hurt. Anyway I'm glad you guys have shared your stories and it will surly be something I use to learn from.
I enjoyed watching the video. The video was very informal and on point.
I recently became a new gun owner, and this video helped me a lot to understand what could happen in the future.
What really caught my attention was the "squib" loads. I will never look at misfires the same again. If I ever get a misfire, I'm going to be checking if the whole cartridge ejects, and not just the brass.
Seriously, your videos are amazing.
we need an accidental discharge support group, kind of like AA! lol
yasssss
It's definitely traumatic enough for such a group. lol
+Brendan Perez Same...I hope my ears stop ringing sometime in the next few months 😳
Yes lol it happened to me once. I had PTSD from it forever needed a support group
Had one today, felling bad..... Almost shot my other gun that was on the table
Definitely an Iraqveteran8888 Classic! :)
i have been watching alot of you guys videos lately, and i almost hate to admit this, but you almost ALMOST have me convinced to make my next gun a glock. ive stayed away from glocks for soooo long, i think im finally getting to the point to break down and just go ahead and get one. you have me convinced.
I've watched this channel for the better part of 9 years. I was absolutely heartbroken to hear of Barry's loss and I really wish I could have come over to his memorial. A genuine good guy. In every video of him since, Ive seen so many tributes and great words about him. It's so bitter sweet to see because everybody can appreciate him; but we'd ideally have him back again. We hope you're Resting in Peace Barry, and keeping God safe with your double carry Glocks and Lazy Susan's swivels.
I had an accidental discharge while watching this video... paper towel please
And I thought that was a roll of Tums in your pocket.
How the fuck does someone make it to E5 without knowing that if you ride the bolt on a 240 forward on a full load that it's going to go off?
That is what I was wondering.
Exactly or e2 for that matter
Bro I had an E6 who didn't know you were supposed to try to pull the trigger with the safety on on an M4 during a functions check.
I laughed so hard reading this
I appreciate your discussion of accidental discharges from cocked & locked 1911s. I've been uneasy doing so and you've proven my concerns were reasonable. Thanks for suggesting carry with hammer down on the 1911.
and important to be humble and admit when you made mistakes/accidents, although best to never have any accident, good for people to understand the very important possibility of things that can happen under circumstances we hadn't thought about. thanks for sharing this informative and humble information.
As a guy who loves and appreciates wheel guns, seeing that shot/bent .357 hurt me a little inside.
Barry strikes me as an old gunny or something of the sort.
This video is so good to see , i did have a negligent discharge with a .44 mag through my bedroom wall, through the bathtube and into the living room tv, i have just hated myself since , really hating myself over it , i always did take percautions but it was just an unordinary circumstance not an excuse though. But i have have felt like i am the only one who has done this till now. It just helps me to hear this. My saftey practices are much better now and before i really put a gun down i make sure its unloaded, thanku guys
One of the best videos you've produced on this channel.
5:56 Exactly the reason I will always remember Barry. He was a wonderful, very generous man; he will be missed.
Quirkification that's sad to hear, how'd he pass? he looks so young
soffer 50 odd years young, died of a hear attack. Doesn't matter how young you are, can happen to anyone. Probably giving a Gun teaching class right now up in the sky!
Ratkill9000 About MAC 10's
To give testament to what Barry said about being around guns long enough you're going to have one fire when you don't want it to...yeah. My father is old school law enforcement. Back in the late 80's he was sitting in his chair in front of the TV cleaning his revolver. He got done and went to dry fire it forgetting that he loaded the cylinder back up. So that's why we have a hole in the ceiling.
Sounds a lot like my ND experience which I posted above
The episodes with Barry have rewatching value... amazing
So cozy to see these very old videos compared to all the recent 100ths or something Gun Gripes in particular. :)
My first and only Negligent discharge was with my fathers 357. BlackHawk.
The bullet went through my wall and took out our Hvac unit. I had to work all summer to pay my dad back for that Hvac unit.
My dad has one of those too and a 44 magnum
Well i just had a ND I was taking down my S&W sd9 I cleared the chamber on 3 other firearms and thought i cleared that one also well to release the slide you have to pull the trigger "BOOM" a hole through my bed and floor thank God i was atleast pointing it in a safe direction now only working with one firearm at a time i still feel like a total tool
Its funny to watch this old episode of Gun Gripes now that I have seen many. You are older and smarter. Thanks.
I have had three unintentional dischargers between three different pistols over 55 years of handling firearms.
1) testing a derringer's half cock safety by squeezing the trigger (while it was loaded). The safety failed. I had it pointed in a safe direction, so no harm became of the incident.
2) de-cocking a revolver out on the firing range, and the gun shifted in my hand and went off. I had it pointed in a safe direction, so no harm became of this incident either.
3) Dry-firing while the gun was wet. That is to say I forgot I reloaded the gun and went to dry-fire it again and wa-la gun discharged. Once again I had the gun pointed in a safe direction so again no harm no foul. Yet I felt like a complete idiot at that point. And rightfully so!
I learned three thing from all of this.
1) test safeties with gun unloaded.
2) de-cock a gun with both hands, instead of with just one.
3) Always double check the gun to be sure it is unloaded each and every time before dry-firing. Other than that, I stopped dry-firing all together.
lol the beginning is awesome
Barry was a hot shit...."Full of whiskey and beans"..lol
It's awesome to hear people be so candid and honest. It can happen to anyone.
I agree 100%. Also it’s obvious that some are not so. Lol
I recently went to a range with a friend for the first time - gave me a good introduction, had some fun and then I stepped up from the 22cal I took my first shots with to his brand new 9mm pistol, and just within the second magazine I put through the gun, I had the "click no boom" moment - at first I thought I miscounted my rounds (still holding the gun pointed at the target), then I realized that my slide wasn't locked open (was a Walther that locked open on an empty mag), so I knew I still had a round live in the chamber, and then I remembered this exact video from all those years ago, still kept her pointed down range, informed my friend that I had a hangfire, and cleared her on command after a 30 seconds on command. Inspected the round, no squib and good strike on the primer. So thanks Barry for a lesson that stuck for over a decade before I ever even got my fingers on a trigger - rest in peace.
I had a stupid uncle meet me coming out of the woods on a hunting trip ,he sat his new 25-alt6 on my tailgate of my truck and said to feel the trigger pull,I asked him if it was loaded he said no (HE WAS GOING IN THE WOODS I WAS COMING OUT)so I pulled the trigger and shot one inch below my tail light needless to say I was mad,but I should have double checked.i was 16 he was 35 and was in the military, goes to show you always check for your self no matter what.
Yep. There's never a need to ask or be told whether or not a fire arm is loaded. When you begin handling a firearm you always check first. No questions/answers needed.
Can't believe it's been 10 years already.
Ahh… time…….. our most precious resource……
Loved this video especially about waiting 30 seconds if you have a failure to eject etc. You spread much wisdom in a short time. Thank you. Your vid will probably save a couple of lives.
Thanks, guys! I feel a lot better after watching this and knowing I'm not alone. Today I was preparing to clean my semi-auto 20 gauge. Apparently a round made it's way to the chamber during the initial safety check. This particular gun has an auto-decocker, so I pushed it, only before pulling the trigger and discharging a slug through my bathroom wall, which then traveled through my closet wall, and closet ceiling. I've been feeling like a jackass all day after that! I'm just thankful I followed at least one rule of safety and had the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
Barry, We miss you! RIP.
"You treat every gun like it's loaded, all the time"
Starts pulling trigger on 1911 in video...
Chris Tarling it’s called dry firing, it’s where you shoot the gun without a round in the chamber, and I know that I’m 6 years late.
What a gorgeous Tantal! Excellent way to start the video brother. 5.45 is my favorite caliber.
I love hearing experts talk about human error being possible. People act like people are perfect and you'll never make a mistake. I've thought my gun was unloaded, forgetting that it wasn't but following gun safety, to find a bullet in the chamber. Every time I touch my weapons, I check double check and triple check using gun safety and I hope it keeps me safe for ever. So far it's saved me multiple time.
Funny how all his accidental discharges happened in the late 70's early 80's---coke is one hell of a drug.
Shut the f**k up. You don't know what caused it, and if you weren't so stupid you would listen to the video where Barry attributed it to drinking,
Bruh.....GTFO with ur nonsense....Barry was a better man than any of us but get real, he was a hippie through and through....and the with mix of being younger and whatever else he did I'd bet money that definitely played a factor in at least 2-3 of those incidents....I'm not saying he was any less responsible/safe with firearms then the next guy but we gotta be realistic now...
Yea Gabiel , you are stupid as fuck, coke didnt come in to the mid 80;s...
Another gun gripe hitting closer to home for me. My grandfather recently had a negligent discharge that nearly cost him his hand. Thank goodness it was not at the range, and he's lucky that the bullet didn't hit his vital organs.
That hits home with for sure.
I've been watching y'all ever since I was 18 learning about fire arms safety gun types and actions what to in a situation open carry concealed carry state laws now I'm 23 and know just about anything there is to know about a fire arm its cool looking back on it now saying wow when i first seen these videos I didn't know anything i wanna say thank yall for making these cool videos and teaching me everything I know today a young man should be taught about fire arms before he is old enough to go get one and carry it without knowledge thank you
Hey guys, thanks for the great video. Appreciate y'all take the time to make all these educational videos.
Does the varying length of Barry's beard tie in with the phases of the moon or something?
+Dafydd Llywych-Hwllch Yeah it did :)
Barry was a pawn star
I thought I was the ONLY one!
I'm loving these videos, I just subscribed to you guys. You guys are great!
Barry, the kind of guy you can sit back and listen to his stories! R.I.P
RIP Buddy
If your E5 wasn't listening, you could've said, "my bad, I'll get it fixed," then fiddled with something unrelated on the gun and then told him that it's ready.
He always came over as one genuine lovely man.
Been in this shop several times.... Great group of guys 👍👍👍
To expect that any gun owner "will have" a negligent discharge is a ridiculous abdication of the responsibilities of gun ownership. Any self-evident unsafe handling (whether the gun fires or not) should force sober consideration of whether the handler is truly responsible enough to own, use, or carry said weapon. Given the number of accidental injuries and deaths suffered from firearms to do any less is a criminal disrespect for the safety and lives of others.
"We gonna start over?"
"No"
we don't want an ad when its time to get busy..... LOL so funny god rest Berrys soul the juvenile comedy was endless!!!
Love the videos. Learning a hole lot of info from you guys. Keep up the good work
i almost had one my friend loaded up my lever action 44 mag carbine and i told him load 2 into the tube magazine well i went he said he did i pulled the lever readied the first round and shot it then i repeated good thing after i am done shooting i always clear my gun because he loaded 3 rounds and not 2
I shot a .308 round through the dash of my brand new 2019 f250 after I had gone hunting I put it into he passenger seat close to the door and the bullet hit the wire harness and pinched an airbag wire 3 thousand dollar harness plus labor to replace
These guys are honest and knowledgeable. Many people including my self have had these incidents. Many deny that they have had it happen. Thanks guys!
Old video, but Eric looks so young, and I really miss Barry! This is a testament to how Eric has grown, and how the old farts like Barry will never be replicated.
I pray I never have a AD or ND.
2022 Rip Barry
Love watching the older gun gripe videos lol - personally I keep all my pistols loaded unless I clean them so always have that in the back of my mind when handling them. I treat every gun like it’s loaded but when you actually do for me there’s no excuse for a ND. I leave rifles unloaded but constantly check when not in a safe or storage.
My grandfather really loved his guns and had been shooting for around 60+yrs, and in the 30yrs of my life that I remember of him never had an accident. He always kept a semiautomatic in his bed side drawer and when getting up in the middle of the night, he(going to bathroom etc.) would always take the gun out and stick it under his pillow for easy access just in case, and stick it back in the drawer when he returned.Then one night he went to the bathroom and when he returned stuck his hand under the pillow, grabbed the gun, and wouldn't you know it, shot off his damn trigger finger. A little ironic don't you think? Never stopped him from shooting though. Just goes to show how accidents can and will happen even with the most experienced people. Sure do miss him and all the gun knowledge he use to share with me. He taught me a lot. R.I.P. Robert W. Mann
0:18 ah Boys will be boys, you can be sure my humour will NOT degrade over time
I like Erics style, he will shoot off a machine gun just to win an argument.
Watching in 2019. Barry, you are not forgotten!
It's really important that you bring this up becauseeven the most trained people can have these accidents I had a friend who was practicing dry firing he gets distracted andsomewhere in that process of being distracted he reloads his weapon and gets distracted again by the time he gets back to his weapon he's completely forgotten that he's reloaded and he decides to do a few more dry fires in his house thank God his family was downstairs and not upstairs with him. But he shot through his bedroom wall which was a through-and-through into the hallway which was the through the hallway and lodged into the wall on the adjacent end of the hallway. and this is a guy who is a veteran so he definitely knows what he's doing he trains all the time still to this day. But being fatigued and distracted and forgetful thank God this did not have tragic consequences 🙏
Negative! Accidents are preventable, all of them. Accidents are caused. As a coal miner foreman, you are trained to expect the unexpected.
God Bless All. Love You.
Never once had an ND. The day I have an ND I'm selling all my guns and never touching another.
good
I am going to do that when I have a nd two
it's a good rule of thumb, but things happen. i can't say i won't have a ND but if i do it will definetly be placed in a place where it won't destroy anything.
It's not the point. Nor is it the guns fault don't be stupid and you'll be alright. You sounded like a liberal there. Yuck
If that’s your line of thinking, you shouldn’t own guns in the first place. Fucking coward.
Freaking LOVE this channel and these videos !
Good video guys, safety reminders are always helpful! I had a hang fire, and it was really good that my training kicked in and I held the gun in a safe direction down range.
I shot my 1911 xD
Had one. It was in the floor of an apartment after answering my door at early morning hours while living in a "ghetto" of Tucson AZ. Was aimed at the floor when dropping the hammer after the situation was "safe". I let it go a little too fast & bang. Carpet over a concrete floor & hollow points but never found a fraction of the slug.
Didnt have to do with guns but Eric's Iraq story really helped some things click in my head with some issues I have with a superior at work. You gotta do what you gotta do for safety.
Barry practically fought a war with all his accidental discharges! Lol.
