But she does reiterate that one should check the chamber after the mag has been removed on a semi-auto, because pulling the mag doesn't mean the gun's unloaded.Sorry but I'm going to be that guy. This is not a good video to show new firearms owners how to unload guns. She is moving way too fast, she is not physically checking the chamber and magazine well (something that I know all shooters don't do but new shooters should slow down and be taught), she doesn't even visually check the chamber area of the AR and then the coup de gras is she says not to point a gun at someone when you hand it to them (good advice) and then points the gun at herself, with the slide forward.
If someone acted that cavalier handling firearms at a range they would be gone in a heartbeat. I like stuff from Turning Point USA but they really needed to stay in their lane with this one.
Didn't hear a word she said was 2 busy watching her bounce around sorryBut she does reiterate that one should check the chamber after the mag has been removed on a semi-auto, because pulling the mag doesn't mean the gun's unloaded.
RARELY do you see someone actually address that issue.
It's not enough to just say, "pull the mag, rack the slide". You gotta tell'em WHY and she does that.
It may not be the greatest safety video ever produced, but its clear and concise.
She says her piece and ends the vid.
It shouldn't take a 10 minute video to teach someone to make sure the gun is empty, after unloading it.
You are very correct regarding that aspect. Many folks get shot because of this and it does need to be emphasized. I don't want to be a jerk toward them as I'm sure their motives and intentions were pure. I just think if you are going to do a video or other training, especially that new shooters will be using, one is ethically obligated to take it seriously.But she does reiterate that one should check the chamber after the mag has been removed on a semi-auto, because pulling the mag doesn't mean the gun's unloaded.

It was like watching a "Price Is Right" model…. "here's what's behind door number two, Janice, show us your hips!"Wait, there were guns in that video?
Says the guy that packs a 1911.Speaking for myself...
I dislike the manual safeties...and rarely use one.
By George, had to watch it a few times but I think there is a gun in there, I better go check and make sure.Wait, there were guns in that video?
Silly tits, we all know that @Andy54Hawken packs a blunderbuss.Says the guy that packs a 1911.

Just re-watched the video and fail to see where, at any point in the video, she is not taking gun safety seriously,Agree about seriousness of the topic. Doing a video for entertainment and to create income from people linking to the video is not as effective as a video that takes it seriously imo. It sets up the new shooter for failure. A new shooter should take gun safety extremely seriously imo. It's a mindset you adopt where you "change your personality" (Col. Cooper's words) and commit to never break the 4 rules of gun safety.
Yes, I did and I'm just poking fun at you.Did you not fully read my post ?
I ask the above because in my 1st post here....which you only quoted part of...
I also said this:
"In fact most of the guns that I own and shoot often , do not have a manual safety , other than a half cock notch."
Note the use of the word "most" in the above quote.
The one example that you have shown is an exception and not a rule , in regards to most of my firearms.

I knew that was the case with the palm grip safety but was unware (or purged those memory cells) that was the case with the thumb safety as well. See, poking fun has garnished some fruit.*Edit to add :
When JMB designed the 1911 , he did not have the thumb safety...the army wanted that modification.
I agree. I live it, and teach it to my kids. Safety is everything when handling guns.I'm firmly in the Col. Cooper and Clint Smith safety camp.
