I did a video earlier this summer regarding the recoil of various carry pistols.
I just got a couple of comments from viewers stating that I violated all sorts of gun safety rules and "are an accident waiting to happen".
I reviewed the video in question and all I see is my fingers briefly going in front of the muzzles while handling the pistols. My fingers may also have gone inside of the trigger guard a couple of times.
I was seriously offended by the accusations. I have served in three branches of the military, been handling firearms since I was 10 years old, have had a CCW for 19 years, and have never once had a negligent discharge.
I consider myself a very safe person in regards to gun handling and am a bit paranoid when it comes to carrying a loaded weapon.
In the video, before filming started, all firearms were cleared. Repeatedly.
I did not point them at myself or anyone else. I was in the middle of nowhere and alone. None of the weapons left my sight from when they were cleared and when I handled them.
Are the comments simply the result of internet trolls doing what they do? Or did I display unsafe gun handling worthy of derision and correction?
