wilsonblog links to HomePlace – Art’s Stuff sharing with us yet another (preventable) tale of woe.
WO!
1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.
2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.
3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.
4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT’S BEYOND.
Obviously, this unidentified firearm user failed applying all four rules!
We all become lazy lackadaisical too comfortable in our gun handling, and stuff happens.
We cannot repeat The Four Rules enough. Here is yet another reminder. Thankfully, no one was killed.

Been several years. Didn’t take a picture of my hat with the hole in the front brim. Yep, I was stupid complacent.

Posted by guffaw1952 | March 19, 2012, 11:47 amYow. And this is why I try to remember to spread my feet when I have the muzzle pointed down.
Posted by ProudHillbilly | March 19, 2012, 11:51 amGabe Suarez (and other professional trainers) recommends the muzzle-down-vertical position, aka SUL (South) for safety in CQB.
I don’t think they mean for us to target out feet.
Posted by guffaw1952 | March 19, 2012, 11:58 amOuch! “Footage” I’d prefer to NEVER see…
Posted by Old NFO | March 19, 2012, 3:50 pmAlways a good reminder!
