So what’s wrong with showing someone your gun’s laser sight by pointing it at someone?

No doubt we here in Wisconsin can look forward to plenty of stories like this…

An Arizona Republic story about Anthem Republican Lori Klein’s carrying of a gun in her purse while at the Legislature said she showed off its laser sighting by pointing it at a reporter interviewing her in the Senate lounge.

It’s worth noting that the firearm Lori Klein allegedly pointed at a reporter had no safety.

  1. Holy fuck.

    Gun Safety: You’re doing it WRONG.

    1. All guns are always loaded.
    2. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
    3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
    4. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

    One of the first things my grandfather ever taught me (yeah, yeah) was keep your gun pointed AT THE GROUND when not purposefully aiming, even if you don’t think it’s loaded (“gun is always loaded,” etc), because you just don’t mess around with things like that. The only remotely okay way is if you just cleaned and put the gun back together, that’s the only absolutely certain way to know its not loaded – And even if you have, it’s just a good habit to be in to act like it’s always loaded, whether it is or isn’t. It’s better to do safety precautions automatically than to accidentally forget because the habit wasn’t established.

    I have problems with someone referring to a loaded firearm by saying something like, “Oh, it’s so cute” while pointing it at someone’s chest to ~*~*~show off~*~*~ the laser sight. These are exactly the kind of people who have no business possessing firearms. Firearms are weapons, not goddamn accessories.

    If you can’t even remember the most basic rules, what the hell are you doing toting a gun around?!

    “I don’t like chocolate ice cream,” she told the Arizona Republic. “Am I going to force you not to have any?”

    … Did she just compare a bowl of ice-cream to a fucking weapon? Seriously?

    lmao…actually, that would explain an awful lot.

    1. I have never heard people dying from ice cream, unless they happen to fall into a vault while it’s being made. And even then, you’re not technically dying from the ice cream itself.

      I am fairly pro-guns as you have read in my comments before. But this stupidity … holy shit. Remember when I said I have a problem with suburban dumbasses who just see it as a statement? Exactly.
