Smellie. I guess there's no problem having a finger on the trigger at anytime then. It's perfectly safe handling. If everyone does it at anytime I guess there'll NEVER be an accident at anytime no way no how!
It's just a 'Liberal-Approved Party Line' and we've all been 'brain washed'.
Thanks for clearing that up!

Yeah , I remember the FAC and what it was supposed to be, in fact, when I first started our hunting licences were our firearm licences as well and we had to wear a numbered patch pinned to the back of our coats.
Much like are fishing licenses that were supposed to help the fisheries...all talk with nothing less than greed as the true motive

@Bart212: You have just proven my 6th, 7th and 10th paragraphs correct.
Seems like you're going to start a fight with SOMEONE, aren't you?
So find someone to fight with, just not me; I don't find much fun fighting with turnips.

My grandmother bought me my first rifle for my 12th birthday. She taught me firearms safety and correct handling of said implements- when she was satisfied that I was competent- I was turned loose and allowed to wander the far reaches of the family farm with the cooey bolt action. I think her training was better than these morons certifying our young ones today.
I haven't killed anyone yet and think it unlikely I ever will.

I have finally seen the light.
No Smellie. You're mistaken. I've been thinking about it for several days now and Bart has made me see the error of my ways. His logic is inescapable. I'm a true convert now. Just to be on the safe side I'm having Doug at Epps weld all the triggers on my guns shut. And the next time I see Wes at Epps dry fire a rifle or touch any triggers in his store I'm going to set him straight too.
I've had a hard time sleeping this week remembering all those triggers I so callously fondled when I was young and foolish. I realize that the past is the past and can't be changed but I'm still torn with remorse.
I would spare you that pain if I could.
Jim.

Perhaps your wit, sarcasm, and intelligence is best kept over at CGS??
What a great grandmother !!
Mine taught me how to prepare a chicken for the oven...starting from the coop...lol
Well with the recent events at Epps I'm amazed they didn't. No wonder why the Antis have a little bit of fact behind them ... because guys like you give it to them.
Funny thing is, if I recall correctly, the recent AD at Epps happened with no fingers on any triggers. Or did I hear wrong.
Would be really interested to read the police report.
Kinda like all those NDs in the field ... 'no sarg it just went off on it's own'.
Then after a function check and an inspection by the weapons tech proves that it didn't. Seen this every time someone says that it was a weapons malfunction. But who knows for sure, it does happen, gotta check. But never actually seen a 'malfunction'
I have a 22 bolt action. #### it, put the safety on pull the trigger, nothing. Take the safety off and put it back on and 'click'.
needless to say I don't shoot that one much.Would be really interested to read the police report.

Her ya go Ace.
Not sure why you want to take shots at the soldiers in the pics, or try to derail a very good thread, but I am sure you have your reasons. However we try to keep that kind of stuff out of the milsurps section. Plenty of other sections to go apeshiit. Anyhow, according to the police investigation, no fingers on any triggers here.
...and
Her ya go Ace.
Thanks for the articles LI.
Not taking shots at soldiers ... Have just seen a lot mishandling and alot of instances where blanks have proven their worth.
Doesn't matter who carrry's a firearm, let it be a Soldier, Police Officer or Civilian, safe weapons handling is a must. Especially when the people are 'new' to firearms, as like I've already said bad habits die hard and thank god that there's not more accidents where people get hurt. It's one thing to have an accidental discharge but is more relieving when no one is in the bullets path, but then again that's just luck. I recently had a family member accidentally shot and they almost died so when I see mishandling it makes me speak up.
It's not racist to say it. A lot of Jamaicans are indeed black. It's not unreasonable to deduce that, given his non-Canadian beret, he's a foreigner. But he's in what appears to be a Canadian CADPAT uniform, so it would appear that's he's, shall we say, 'embedded' in the CF in some fashion. Given his presence with RMC cadets, he's very likely attending RMC.
We have, or at least had comparatively recently and I don't think it's changed, training agreements with quite a few Caribbean nations. In most of them, the majority of the population is black. Were he white, he could be from almost anywhere.
So it's a reasonable deduction that he's from one Caribbean army or another, attending RMC. No reason to apologize for thinking that.

Diopter,
Well done giving them a chance to get hands on with some history.
It's something they don't get to do everyday.

Insulting and uncalled for.
And inaccurate. Over 100k rounds served in my life, and not an ND yet. Not that I'd expect you to know me or anything...but it's a hell of an assumption and insult to just insult someone with.
Is that what I said? Or Smellie said?
NO.
I did NOT say “at any time”. I did NOT say “NEVER BE AN ACCIDENT”.
I did say that there's nothing in those pictures that actually shows anything unsafe occurring.
“possibly dangerous”?
“on the trigger all the time”?
No. Just like with the pictures, you are leaping to an incorrect conclusion. You assumed.
Posing?
Really? Are these underwear models, setting up for the pro photographer?
Frankly I think the attention of these young soldiers is much more on the firearms they are handling, and could care less about any photographs being taken. And if it was so dangerous, why didn't the photographer run out of the buildings screaming at the top of his lungs?
They had something to do, and I'll do something you are unwilling to: because I wasn't there, I'll give them the benefit of doubt, that they were handling them safely. I literally don't see a single thing “cavalier” about their handling.
But let me ask you this: say the firearm WAS loaded, and he was handling it poorly...when he notices that someone's about to take his picture, do you expect him to rush up and tell him “GIMME YOUR CAMERA! YOU CAN'T POST A PICTURE OF ME ON TEH INTERNETS!!1!” while this loaded gun is being waved all about?
And while I'm sorry for your family member's accident, does that give you permission to insult me? Or to assume there's something unsafe going on in those pictures?

So after all this lecturing, putdowns, inaccurate assessments of what us Army guys are saying, you inform us that you knowingly own a firearm with a broken safety system!? Isn't your failure to get that fixed a perfect example of a “cavalier attitude toward gun safety”?
If you want to say that actually deliberately posing with your finger on the trigger is causing new shooters to have a cavalier attitude towards safe firearms handling...I would direct you to millions of TV episodes, action movies, gangsta rap videos, Youtube videos showing questionable and downright dangerous handling...and ask why people are freaking out about a picture showing someone safely dry-firing?
Look, if the website owners don't want pictures of people with fingers on the trigger, that's ok, it's their site, this is what they want, and that's that. But don't assume/accuse that I or the soldiers in the pictures are ACTUALLY being unsafe.
