Actually, he's a communist. Used to have the hammer and sickle as his avatar. I suppose that's a redundant way of saying "dumb arse."

LOL at anyone that does this.

I grew up around them, had a very healthy fear of what they could do, and was allowed access if need be. Guess things are just different in the sticks.

Our house, my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and probably everyone else I knew had a gun loaded in the house. Idually on display in a rack on the family room wall. It was the 50s, 60s, and 70s. No one had a gun safe, not sure they even existed. Trucks belonging to kids at my highschool often had gun racks in the back window with rifle or shotgun present. It was very, very rare to hear about a firearm accident, if you did it was usually in the woods, not someone’s home.

Best part of the course for me was a baw in a red shell FR suit was sipping from a yeti cup which apparently was straight liquor. He was funny for a bit then just got annoying, by the end of the class he was blacked out and got arrested. Not lying

ETA this isn’t relevant but worth sharing was the hunters safety course, that’s really all the new knowledge I remember from it.

Yes, because when I’m trying to defend my home I have ample time to retrieve the gun and ammo from separate safes, load my firearm, and then react.

My 100 round drum mag AR pistol sits fully loaded and chambered next to my bed. I have a glock chambered next to my toilet paper in the bathroom, a 1911 chambered in my recliners armrest, two AR’s and a glock chambered in my truck, I carry, chambered every single place I go. I guess I failed that part in Hunter’s Ed.

Hunters ed instructor here. Yes it is taught that way still and it is a good idea for hunting weapons. That said my EDC is secured from children but can be in my hand in a matter of seconds in the middle of the night.

In Louisiana you have to take hunter safety course if you were born after September 69 in order to get a hunter's license so yes they still have those courses.

that tell young people to never keep a loaded gun in the house and keep ammunition separate from the gun under lock and key?



Do you think they should not teach this to kids? It needs to be drilled into kids heads. They need to learn just how dangerous a gun is. They need to learn to respect a gun.

I grew up with guns. Starting shooting a .22 short at 10. Guns in the locked gun cabinet and ammo locked separately. Still keep my guns that way. I didn't even have a BB gun. Was only allowed to shoot as a kid under adult supervision.

I guess I am thankful my dad had a good job and we lived in a good neighborhood where we felt no need to keep loaded guns in the house.

It's horribly dangerous to keep loaded guns in the house, but to each their own.

Shiny hook so I'll bite, if you think living in a nice neighbor hood prevents theft or violent crime you are delusional. Believe it or not, being meth head doesn't automatically prevent you from using these cool things called cars. With these miraculous inventions you can leave your trailer park and in a matter of minutes be in the nice neighborhoods.

t's horribly dangerous to keep loaded guns in the house

It is horribly dangerous to not teach kids about weapons and how to properly handle them. Would I leave loaded weapons laying around when my daughter was 2? Not where she could access them. My 10 year old was being dropped off at a stand with a loaded rifle. If he can be left alone for hours with a loaded weapon then simply living with one isn't that big of a danger.

I would honestly be more scared for him to have access to an electric chainsaw than a gun without me around.

Under 16 can take the course and tests online but must attend a field day for completion.

I'm an old guy that grew up without a formal class. My dad taught my brothers and I about guns. He basically gave us shooting lessons, and taught us how to clean, store and handle guns. He also taught us how to hunt.

As a kid I never kept loaded guns, but my dad had an old sawed-off Ithaca pump 12 gauge, that you loaded on the bottom, on a rack in his closet. He was an MP during the Korean War, and taught us to shoot to kill, if we ever had to shoot someone. That's what the Army trained him to do.

I keep a 17 shot mag in a 9 mm in my bedroom.

I took that tactical class. After I took it I had a steel plate attached to the back of my dresser and moved it in front of my bedroom window. My ammo is in the chest that looks a bench next to it.

Just try to come get me and mine!

Day 1 of my hunter safety course the instructor asked "What is the number one use of guns in the country?" Without skipping a beat some baw puts his hands up and yells "robbery!" Nope, it's hunting. Idk why but I still laugh about that.

More of a “hazard” than a “danger” I’d argue. It’s only a danger when a human or humans interact with the inanimate object in such a way that the main rules of gun safety are broken.

I would also argue it is horribly stupid to keep all guns in your home unloaded. Good luck using them for defense of you and your family.

ETA:

Consider this hazard vs danger analogy. Electricity is a hazard. It’s only a danger when the electrical equipment is not maintained or serviced properly or some idiot sticks his hands on it before isolating the source and proving absence of voltage.

Pro gun just means your Pro Freedom.

Curious as to what exactly constitutes a " Gun Nut "

The course for louisiana is all online and takes you about 2-4 days to complete in its entirety. With timed questions that you cant just skip through. Its a lot of safety , Alot of Mechanical knowledge on different actions/fuctionalities of different fire arm types. covers quite a bit on how to be safe with yourself and around others when dealing with fire arms.

How do you prevent "them" from setting your house on fire and smoking you out?
