Went into Cabelas today to redeem my points and find my wife a nice coat. Of course had to go check out the used guns.
All used guns have ties on the actions and trigger locks, so you can't put your finger in the trigger guard. Cabelas gun guard was watching everyone and telling customers to watch where they pointed them. He jumped on three guys. Told one guy a lady just left because you pointed a gun at her.
Another snowflake melted. What's a lady that's scared of guns with gun locks doing in a gun room?
Let the arguments and insults begin. LOL.

I have friends older than me, who are lifelong hunters and shooter, but have never had any professional instruction on gun handling. With long guns it's not too bad, but holy schitt everything they know about handguns comes from every bad movie made. Especially westerns.
Agree unsafe handling should not be tolerated. Cabelas pissed me off with their gunlock BS last week. I had no choice but go there for some fishing supplies. So I also walked the gun counter. They had a Springfield xdm in 10mm. Been thinking about buying one. Of course not from Cabelas, unless that impulse buy kicked in. Which happens to all of us when we fondle a gun at times. But figured hey it was at least a chance to handle one and I had no money to worry about impulse buy. All the handguns had trigger locks. I did want to try the trigger. More importantly I wanted to be be able to actually get a normal grip on the gun. The trigger lock was large enough that it would not allow a normal grip on the gun. I asked to remove the lock. Was told they only take the lock off if you buy the gun. I told them lock stays on wallet stays in my pocket and I left.

A few weeks back I saw a fellow at a trap shooting range walking around with an O/U with the action closed and sweeping people with it's muzzle as he walked and talked to people. I asked him to open his action and to stop sweeping people with his muzzle and he looked at me like I was a two-headed alien. Too many people are seemingly unwilling to embarrass someone by saying something when they see this kind of stuff. After the slob opened his action and slinked off the guy he was pointing the gun at thanked me but never said a word to him about it. We can't be afraid to speak up.

Exactly.
The safety rules are in place and adhered to for a reason.
There's no caveat for trigger locks or chamber flags or having the bolt out.
Don't do it, and don't let other people do it.

We call those people (the ones that won't say anything) cowards. Astonishingly, that about sums up 90% of the population. Yet they want the other 10% to fight for them.

A few years ago I was just back in Iowa after passing the test for a Canadian PAL. The Canadian instructor told me the fastest way to fail that test was to muzzle flash him.
So I'm in a gun shop in Iowa, and this fellow has a hand gun swinging it all over the place, every second word he said started with "F".
I agree, treat each, and every firearm as if it were loaded.
These premises insured by a Sheltie in Training ,--- and Cooey.o "May the Good Lord take a likin' to you"
1. Treat every gun as if it were loaded, regardless of perceived or actual condition. 2. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. 3. Always keep a gun pointed in a safe direction and never point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot. 4. Be sure of your target and know your target's foreground and background.
I had a newly purchased gunshop (pawn) owner cock a strange handgun point it at me without thinking across the counter and pull the trigger, I about freaked and yelled at him in a store with customers. I saw the action was clear when he worked it was moving out of the way and didn't get enough time. A bullet would have struck me in the lower abdomen. We don't go there anymore. I have been around firearms my whole life and that's the only time that has happened, public or private, sometimes once is too much.
