    Some of the most unsafe gun handling I have seen has been by active military and law enforcement, when they come to my silly little game for silly people (USPSA).

    Sure, our little gun safety rituals are stupid and don't reflect the big scary real world but god damn. People are so bad.

    For steel specifically, with pistols, no steel is allowed to be shot closer than 23 feet. For good reason. Rifle? I think most 3gun stuff is no less than 50 yards because how powerful rifles are

      A local cop got kicked off the target range at a local gun club because the range instructor area saw him flagging multiple people and told him to knock it off. Cop blows up on him "How dare you tell me what to do you're not my real dad!" style before eventually getting sent home.

      Of course, the piggy calls the president of the club and got the range instructor fired from his position. Totally normal country.

      Yea I really don't know how anyone who's shot a gun before would look at that and think it's OK to actually shoot. You'll get lucky if you always shot alone like this and at targets at an angle (like he appears to be doing but it's a photoshoot for some reason biden-megamind )
