Went to a friends house for a Fish Fry. He's in his 60's and has been recovering from Guillain-Barre syndrome. He's able to walk with braces and a cane and has most of the control back of his arms and hands...mostly.
He's been worried about not being able to protect his family, so he bought a Ruger .22lr revolver (all he can handle with his weak hands/arms and shakiness) and a ruger lc9 with crimson traces for his wife.
He wanted to show me his new investment and grabbed them to show me. He had just taken a CCW course and shocked me by handing the revolver to me barrel first and loaded. :banghead: I asked him to unload it and hand it to me butt first (respectfully... he is my friend and senior) and he did.
When I returned it, he loaded it, closed the cylinder, and then started talking about how easy it was to aim. He then started moving it from side to side (pointed towards the living room where his wife, my wife, his daughter, and grandaughters were with his finger on the trigger and tightening.
I immediately touched his arm gently (he has reflex problems) and said it's loaded, take your finger off the trigger and don't point it at anyone.
He complied, but it scared him (he knew better). And me.
Anything else you think I should have done?
