Between all of us, for the safety of ourselves and other newcomers to the world of firarms, lets see if we can list all the hollywood no nos that we see in movies and TV.
1) Spray and Pray (Mel Gibson, Keanue Reeves, etc. Those who spray a million bullets at their target)
2) "pointing" your gun at people (meaning jesturing or waving at someone with the tip of your gun in conversation.)
3) Ordering a bad guy "DROP THAT GUN" (suppose he literally does just that...BANG!)
4) whipping, slinging or thrusting the gun when shooting it at a bad guy. Just point or aim and shoot...no need to sling or thrust.
5) Approaching someone with a SA automatic and holding them at bay with it uncocked.
6) Uncocking a gun while it is still aimed.
7) joint shooting with a friend at perpetraitor(s) while positioned behind your friend. (the do that in movies all the time "what if your bullet catches the top of your friends head?" I always ask)
8) twirling the gun around like a cowboy
9) fanning a Single Action Army (flopping all over the place hitting nothing)
