I am Scared ... All The New Gun Owners!

[crowbusterL579]

I'm more worried about the new drivers who don't know what a damn blinker is. They all learned to drive on Xbox and GTA. I'm around a lot more idiots in cars every day than I ever will be around fools with guns.

They keep forgetting to refill the blinker fluid tank!!!

I like all these new gun owners.
Should be more guns on the
secondary market soon as they
find out they can't shoot a virus.

I like the way you think!

I’m not worried, they are probably like most people here, and will post it two years from now “BNIB never fired” for twice what they paid. It always baffles me how many people sell a gun before they shoot it. They probably bought them for Facebook pics anyways.

A lady in the lane next to us at the indoor range this past weekend flagged me twice with the pistol she was holding, with her finger on the trigger. I stepped back and told the guy with her he needed to tell her to pay attention to what she was doing. He didn't looked pleased with me calling her out...but she didn't shoot again while we were there.

I would pay good money to watch the outcome if he fired.

They’re easy to spot at the range but from what my LGS manager tells me, new gun owners have more training than OGs. Maybe they’re taking it seriously???

I was up at a range up north of Calhoun. It east of the Interstate back in the woods. Some national land range. I saw a guy unwrapping his brand new handgun. He was like a kid is candy store. He loaded a mag and inserted it and commenced to firing. No big deal right. Wrong! There was still a guy hanging targets on a cold range. We picked up and hauled ass. That's what scares the hell out of me.

Maybe next time kindly let him what he did wrong? I'm not sure why every expecta first timers to know everything, basics included.

Good job for saying something. They likely didn't know or didn't realize what they were doing. Keeping your barrel pointed in a safe direction takes practice.


Lots of gatekeeping in this thread. You want to keep or expand your 2a rights? Its going to take an infuse of new people into the hobby. Give them a helping hand not a downward push.

I’ve seen some uninformed posts here, but this one is way up there.

All firearms owners started in pretty much the same place.

Folks purchasing their first firearms this year are inherently less safe than the previous generations because..........why, exactly?

Folks doing stupid stuff with firearms are as old as firearms themselves. Looking down the muzzle, and fingering the barrel, weren’t invented this year.
