In addition to being self employed I also work nights at a hotel. Meet a lot of interesting people there.
Last night had a guest that is staying there display some frightening gun handling.
He works for the state, not an LEO. Sounds like he is sort of a private security guard for the state (treasury?). Anyway, his department does various things from armoured cars, VIP protection, etc.
He is staying for a week or so at the hotel, buying new house and already sold old one.
This week he has to leave early for work. Been talking to him over his breakfast. Today I asked him about his carry gun, a glock. Asked if it was 9 or 40. He says "its a 40." Then he goes "since no one else is around", it is like 4am, draws it and lets me look at it.
He hands it over saying "see no round in chamber" while pulling the trigger!!!
I pull the (loaded) mag and lock the slide. It is a Glock 22 loaded with hydrashocks.
I am saying to myself "I REALLY need to explain gun safety to this guy, but I don't think he will listen since I don't wear a uniform."
He asks me how many guns I own. I really don't want to let him know I am carrying. So I say just 4 handguns and 4 longgun. He then asked what kinds and I started talking about my Scout rifle since I figured if I talked about the handguns he would probably guess I was carrying (Shall issue law pased here in MN VERY recently and the media still moaning about it).
He said he only owns two handguns, second one is a Berretta 92F. He carries as back up in armoured truck. He pulls that out of his bag and does the same "see no round in the chamber" while pulling the trigger.
I pulled the (loaded mag) and locked the slide on that gun. He keeps the 92F loaded with ball ammo.

Any suggestions on how to get this guy to listen about gun safety? He is a pleasent person, but unsafe gun handling really bugs me.
Later, we were talking about actual shootings, he mentioned one guy his department got in a gunfight with who was wearing two vests (one over the other) and he said something about how it was scary that just anyone could get things like vests.
I felt like yelling at him about how unsafe gun handling was MUCH more dangerous.
