What was the worst gun advice you ever received from a well-meaning individual? It could be related to buying a gun, marksmanship, training, safety, cleaning, etc.
My worst advice came from my dad. Sure, he spent 22 years in the U.S. Army, did two tours of Vietnam in the infantry, and actually went in when the Army still wore brown boots, but he just ain't a gun guy. He told me to keep oil in the barrel of my rifle and not to worry about cleaning it out because the first round would do that. It wasn't until years later I found out that this could be a harmful practice.
