Tragic.
WHenever there are guests that want to see or handle the firearms, the first one to come out is the 12 gauge and all 6 rounds are cycled out of the gun in rapid succession, noisily and as offensive as I can be, showing everyone that the gun they are about to touch was indeed loaded. This kinda gives them pause as you hand them every weapon after clearing it.
"Hey, show me your new pistol."
"No. Perhaps we can go to the range one day and you show me you know how to handle one."
That way, there can be no accidents involving someone who is not familiar with the weapon.
Let them get p!$$y. I don't care.
Lol!! I’ve done that very thing. I used to not clear weapons since I always store them unloaded and didn’t want to offend someone. Then I realized that even people who carry guns for a living don’t know jack about them. I clear every weapon I hand to someone now unless we’re on a range and I’ve loaded it for them.
