Sometimes shooting handguns is just too much fun.

They started flashing gang signs and generally fooling around. But even messing with the photographer their gun handling was completely safe.

It appears the girl on the left is pointing the gun pretty close to the girl on the right, who clearly has her finger on the trigger.

It just doesn't strike me as a positive portrayal of guns, "safe" or not.

You are wrong.

Every time I go to the range I practice some distance shooting at least 50 yards. I try to push it out to 100 if able. I got some surprised looks when I was able to hit the steel gong at my friends local range with his Super Blackhawk. Its a good size gong but it is 300 yards away.

I had the same thought as David E, it took me about 1/100th. of a second to see that, but if you are telling us that it is simply camera angle or something, then O.K.(?).

I have a 16 year old step-son, who last year at a church shooting event ( may sound funny, but true, Morman men LOVE shooting ), pointed a loaded gun in the direction of other shooters. With in seconds, we were in the car and headed home. He has never been allowed to handle a gun since. I have instructed many children on gun safety, but he apparently didn't catch on, so he is banned from guns for now. Too bad, he had a perfect record for years. But, I teach that the rules of gun safety are as, if not more important in some ways than, the 10 commandments. You break one, that's the end, period! To this day, he is still pissed about it, but he will never forget what he did wrong. This lesson may save an innocent persons life some day. He will have to try harder to become perfect with the rules of gun safety.

Other than that, it all looks and sounds awesome!!!
That range is GREAT!!!

I dream of having a range in my back yard, like that some day!

You are wrong.

About what? That her finger really isn't touching the trigger?

Or that having them pose like wanna-be gangsters isn't a positive portrayal of guns?

The angle of the picture may have skewed the perception of where the one gun is pointing, but that still leaves two other major negatives in that picture.
