Thats how I was taught, Drives me nuts at gun shows when you see people hold the trigger! I always act like every gun is loaded even though it isn't!Quote:

I'm very careful any time I have a firearm, and like I said, it was simply for the picture. No worries.
I understand, and ultimatley, its up to you, however the way I was trained, is unless you are pulling the trigger, DONT touch it. through training, we have watched multiple videos of accidental discharges due to nothing more than stress, or being shocked/suprised by something, or even sympathy movements... (you do something with one hand, and the other automatically mimics it.) Again, I understand what you are saying, and honestly was busting your stones, however we are trained to treat every fire arm as if its loaded..... even if we KNOW it is not. Hell I wont look down the barrel of a disassembled gun.....Quote:

Shoot I always hold my finger on the trigger so Ill be ready to shoot if I have to. I also hold it sideways and get my buddies to take pictures of me holding it toward the camera.
Im kidding. Ive had a SW M&P 45c, a Para 1911 GI expert, and a S&W 442 38 special. Ive sold the two autos and gave the revolver to my dad. Im about to buy a mossberg maverick with a pistol grip to keep in my room.
