Thread: reality check.

Our problem is these are the idiots that the media look for , they sell stories and grab head lines ...I fear we will see a death on opening day no matter how much we as a group put our hands up and say booze and guns don't mix.

We sit a firearms lienence stating firearms and alcohol / drugs don't mix we all know this ,so why the hell does having a tot or getting pissed / blazed whilst sitting in a Mai mai / stand change this?

I love my beers , I treasure my shooting, but pissing with up a loaded gun ,whilst in close confins with others pissing up with loaded guns. Its fucking stupid.

What we need to understand is that even a small amount of alcohol effects judgment. Your there with family & friends , eat, shoot and enjoy the comeradery ...also let the ducks fly , shoot only those you know that you can make a clean kill & recover, enjoy the day not the booze.

And FFS please please please treat EVERY gun as loaded.

Edit to add when clearing a semi auto use a finger or headlight / torch to make sure the mag & chamber is
empty. I've being caught out one never again.
