All for a stupid selfie. Smh
LetAllYourAngerOutOnMeIDontBite
Thing is aswell, I'm sure the range officer wouldn't mind him taking a selfie, if he just asked to fully unload the gun for him so its safe.

Range I went to had a no photography rule, starting to see why

As on point as he could reasonably be. I think his selfie before the intervention could also be dangerous, just was not visible to the RO.

Malkaveer
Living in the Midwest and a region I'll only describe as 'the "hard r" place,' most 30-somethings and younger do not practice gun safety.
BigKat45
Exactly... more than basic safety... how to safely use one is not taught near enough. And that should be a requirement.

I'd love a first-time buyers course. Safety, storage, handling. Something simple, cheap, to the point.

Ilike the lady who tried to take a selfie going up and escalator dropping her baby to its death
IFoundOutThatYouCanHave63CharactersOntheUsernameHowCoolIsThat
People kept blaming the selfie shot but the mother carried the baby on her left arm, exposing the child over the rail guard.

it was an accident waiting to happen, the selfie shot was just the trigger.

Ganganagar, India. Mom loses balance taking selfie with dad on escalator. Baby dropped 3 stories. CCTV is on Dailymail.
watgula9
See guys I tell the truth. Me not lie

And now everyone knows why we all hate selfies here at imgur.
Roehcai
Watching the video, it honestly looks like the woman trips a little on the escalate, the husband tries to pull her up, and she loses grip.
LateNightBunnyParty
NVM, googled, and that's horrible! It looked like the husband was the one holding the phone, and accidentally elbowed the mom, who lost grip

That was truly a horrible accident. I’m sure they are regretful, after all you can see the emotion right as/after it happens.

I agree and feel regretful of their loss , it doesn’t however take back their ignorance sadly. Maybe they can be advocates against this now.

I will never, ever click that but omg I can just imagine the horror and pain :(
prettierandyoungerbutnotanybetteroff
1. That's terribly unfair. Her husband and her were taking a selfie and he accidentally nudged her causing her to drop the kid, who just so
Iamhereforyourviewingpleasure
While I agree with you that accidents happen, I would have taken the baby from my wife if I saw her holding it with one hand and over the 1/
Iamhereforyourviewingpleasure
Side rail. Also, she is basically holding the kid by the legs and from under the baby's center of mass. It's stupid unless you're over a bed
Iamhereforyourviewingpleasure
Or other surface that will hot harm a baby. I take more care of my hand tools than she did of that baby. And yes it's very sad.
Iamhereforyourviewingpleasure
(I meant "not" instead of "hot"
prettierandyoungerbutnotanybetteroff
2. happened to fall through the gap between the floor below and the escalator and fall an additional 2 stories, dying instantly. More tragic
prettierandyoungerbutnotanybetteroff
3. accident than blatant act of stupidity IMO.
Nova5269
It's common sense as a parent to be 100% certain you're maintaining control while holding your kid, especially since they like to fidget
serpentinebaboo
“Common sense.” I’m sure you’re perfect but not everyone is. This was an accident and she wasn’t carrying the child negligently. She was
prettierandyoungerbutnotanybetteroff
She lost balance when she was nudged. Yeah, kids are fidgety, but this could've happened entirely independently of the pic being taken.
serpentinebaboo
Anyone downvoting you didn’t watch that video. That was a tragic accident. She may have been holding the baby a little high but nothing
serpentinebaboo
about that showed neglect. Toddlers are heavy so you carry them like that sometimes. And that gap between the rails was tiny. Awful accident
prettierandyoungerbutnotanybetteroff
Hell I didn't even watch it. I didn't want to see a baby fall to its death. But all accounts of it in the article say the same.

He didnt commit a crime hes just dumb. He can still buy them just not at that store.
AmericanAdvocate
That was brandishing, though. A felony, if anybody prosecuted him.

Again not a felony as there's no federal law against it. There are several states that have laws against it i.e. CA, FL, VA, etc...

Range Officer is so quick to react, as if he knew they were going to do something stupid. Damn fine work.

At a range it's pretty obvious who knows what they're doing, and who doesn't.

You start to get an eye for the people who cause trouble.

Why only the right testicle? What happened to the left one?

Shrapnel injury in WW1.

TheSamMan86
And to think if he’s in the US, he could just go and buy his own gun anyway...
longtimelurkerbutdecidedtomakeanaccountcauseReasons
correct. seen it go down in gun conventions
Mozimus
He could. I bet though that this was reported and will show up on his background check and he won't be able to buy one from here on out.
DoktorWyvern
Maybe if "from here" means that location. Otherwise? No, it in no way effects his ability to purchase firearms.
Mozimus
Yeah that's what I've been thinking about since I posted that.

This would NOT show up on a NICS check

Yeah I was thinking about that after the fact.

Bananasandwiches42
Noticed he was trying to take a selfie of him pointing his gun at that guys head. Darwin where are you?
NZerow
Is it safer to jump and grab his hand or to talk him down?I feel like he could have gotten a fright and accidentally fired. Genuinely asking
ThomasThundersword
it depends, esp on his trigger discipline, (if his finger wasn’t on the trigger it’s fine to go for the arm) otherwise it could be an issue>
ThomasThundersword
hard to tell from the video. that said i’m no expert and id love to hear someone who would know better if i’m close to right, or way wrong
NZerow
I think we can rule out any form of discipline haha! But the range master couldn't assume that right? Fuck guns are scary in hands of morons
sarcasticallyJustified
I think based on him taking a selfie the RSO knew it wasn’t malicious and decided to just get the gun away as quick as possible.
CheeseB0t
Aw man, I came here to state the obvious but you've already beaten me to it :(
ThisWillNotEndWell
I would be afraid if the gun went off when I interfere
aznanimality
Is there a difference between a range officer and rangemaster? I've only gone a few times but I've always heard it as rangemaster.
NachoPete
At my local range, the range master runs the range. the range safety officers (RSOs) work the range & keep an eye on the shooters.
Mustang992
Not really, both are there to make sure idiots don't kill themselves or others, maybe some certification but that's probably it
kecker
At a smaller range they're synonymous. At a larger range the RangeMaster works the overall range, the Range Officers works the shooters.
Knitting4fun
I'm surprised he didn't bounce out the moment the gun was no longer pointing down range. The RSO I go to doesn't let that shit stand
kecker
I don't think he could see. The orientation of the firearm at that point was shield from view by the dumbass's body.
N0ledge
I guess he didn't noticed because where I go it would be an automatic ban too
fawntugboat
It was out of sight it looks like.
nickysjords
It's quite frightening. Is his finger on the trigger?
153291e
You can see a lighter spot by the trigger, but it might just be on top of the guard.
blockh34d
keep your booger hook off the bang switch until you’re ready to send the hate seeds
scurvyturtle
Yes...
yupthisisgoingtowork
looks like it based on the selfie pose right before pointing the gun at the other dude. frightening is understating it big time.
1notfakke26
At that point, doesn't matter.
ken27238
A gun should always be treated as loaded. Don’t point it at something you don’t intend to shoot.
KarlKingOfDucks
but officer the gun isn’t loaded, I was only pointing it at you for fun
MrSaturday
I guarantee it, every person I've trained who knows nothing of firearms has the most trouble with keeping their finger off of the trigger.
WigglyCherry
It doesn't look like it but that doesn't justify him putting it to his head. Guns can go off spontaneously and if it did, well, You know...
WigglyCherry
Large emphasis on CAN. It is very uncommon as far as I know but it's still dumb. Even with the safety on guns can go off if loaded.
MrSaturday
No, no they really can't.
Grudgebearingmidget
Oh really? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsDfBmLqnio
MrBobSaget
Doesn't matter. Rule #1 of firearm safety, NEVER point a gun at something you don't intend to kill.
johnvictor
I feel that in the US at least gun safety classes should be something everyone goes through regardless of ownership of firearms.
MrBobSaget
I've always thought it should be mandatory. Too many morons. I think some states require it, but i can't remember.
johnvictor
1 I actually made a comment about that to some guns right activists. I was essentially told I was too stupid to understand the topic
ButchMcKenzie
Maybe he wanted to kill that dude tho
Darkspire
Oh, well, carry on...
Dissipo
Rule #2, always treat the weapon as if it's loaded. Even if you know its not.
skatha
my friend's absentminded disregard for these rules are why I refuse to be in the same room when he's showing off his gun. >:(
MisterDeluxia

This. i still freak when i’m cleaning the bore, i know it’s not loaded, i know it’s disabled, and yet instinct still says it IS loaded

PINKBOY1006
No thats rule 0, thats is THE RULE!Never ever fuck around with a gun. Loaded or unloaded, too many accidents have happened from not 1/2
MrBobSaget
To be fair all the rules are rules #1
PINKBOY1006
Obeying that most important rule about gun safety. Its so simple. If holding gun don’t point it at anything living or dead that you don’t2/3

For people that don't know guns, doesn't matter if the gun is loaded or not, treat every gun as if they're loaded

All guns are loaded, all knives ae sharp.

The first rule of guns is there is no such thing as an unloaded gun.

Never fired or held a gun, UK based here, and even I know you don't point it at anything you don't wanna put a bullet in
InhumanDookieCannon
They're always loaded. Even when you know they're not. Always.

And treat every direction you point a gun as if it's a location that will be shot.
SereneLloydBraun
A gun is always loaded.

ohidksomethingfunny
IIRC the original saying wasn't treat every gun as if it's loaded. It was "every gun IS loaded" really gets the point home better
plainoldfool
My brother is quite skilled and knowledgeable at the range he goes to. He had a break-action shotgun discharge the moment it was closed. (1)
plainoldfool
The owner of the shotgun took it to inspect it and it discharged for him as well. Turns out there was a malfunction with the firing pin (2)
plainoldfool
which would cause it discharge if there was a live round in the chamber. Again, always assume the firearm will destroy whatever it is (3)
plainoldfool
pointing at, regardless if it is loaded or not. If it is functional or not.

PimLeepet
Question: what about fake guns? Like prop guns used for a photo op that cannot be loaded as they don't have any chambers or anything?
lionsilverwolf
If it's 100% fake, like a block of foam, then yeah it's not doing any damage. But make sure it's the fake you're holding FIRST.
SophieClockwise
Brandon Lee would like to remind people not to casually point *any* gun at anybody, prop or otherwise.
BigBadBillyBoy
That’s something to be very careful with. In movie land, the prop master is extremely strict about safety.
badgerthewitness
The tricky bit is, it’s all right when you’re paying attention, but comfort breeds mistakes. Best just to be really really careful and not.
NotAMorningPerson
Well, if a cop sees you pointing a fake gun at someone and they don’t know it’s fake, you may get popped.
offIN30secORless
Well if you know it's fake odds are you aren't walking around in public or st a shooting range with it
PutItInNeutral
It's always that one time when you KNEW the gun wasn't loaded when an accident happens.
offIN30secORless
Straight up I almost got shot in the head when I was younger because my buddy thought the gun was empty,wasnt practicing trigger 1/

swellguy18
I understand and agree. I am curious though, was it loaded in this gif? So I know exactly how dumb this dude was being?
swampdonks
I just see that the slide wasn't racked back, so it's very possible that it was.
shorey66
I know fuck all about guns. But I think the point is... Its irrelevant. Dont point at shit you don't want to kill.
Mozimus
So to be fair with this question, the answer is "it doesn't matter if it was loaded or not." He pointed a weapon at his friend's head.
swellguy18
...I realize that but wanted to know regardless you titanic tool lol.
Mozimus
Please read my reply after that one as it does directly answer your question. Sorry wasnt trying to be a jerk here.
Mozimus
To answer the question directly, loaded or not he was being extremely dumb.
Komorikat
Pretty sure it was. Looked like he checked for a mag first, saw one, then checked if one was chambered and saw it was, hence kicked out
LordNevyn
I thought he was just checking if it was empty, and even if it was no rounds in the chamber he would have been kicked out
offIN30secORless
You'd be kicked out regardless even if the mag was empty he'd still check to see if the gun had a live round
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
Preeeetty sure the guy'd be kicked out regardless of whether there was mag or one in the chamber.
Komorikat
Usually yes. But all depends on the officer and the guy. They could know each other, be strangers. Sadly rules aren't always enforced fully
RedRoverRedRoverSendZombiesOnOver
Whether or not the firearm is loaded is the difference between "banned for a year" and "banned for life".
paulbloface
No, ban for life is appropriate either way.
offIN30secORless
Yeah banned for life, you dont put a gun to someone's head unless you're trying to paint the wall
LePiggy
In this case I think this is banned for life regardless
