When I worked with people that handled firearms as part of their job, I always told them that they needed to mentally check themselves regularly to make sure they weren't becoming complacent.45erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397455410329074837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1514231109048414085.post-23945452300875000752012-02-03T19:54:58.915-06:002012-02-03T19:54:58.915-06:00I remember that one, Stephen.

It is a pretty powerful statement when a passerby can take a picture of your AR sitting on the trunk and post it on the internet. *facepalm*45erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397455410329074837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1514231109048414085.post-18936688367604882422012-02-03T19:53:57.028-06:002012-02-03T19:53:57.028-06:00mmasse, that was my thought as well.

When you deal with something day in and day out it becomes just another "thing". The same thing can happen with firearms. He was kneeling at the rear of the vehicle and his gun was uncomfortable, so he took it off and set it on the vehicle instead of walking a few feet and putting it in the vehicle. I saw this phenomena play out with people that weren't really "gunnies" that just saw firearms as part of their job. The gun people were generally diligent with them because they respected them.45erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397455410329074837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1514231109048414085.post-56916167470749604852012-02-03T16:51:45.472-06:002012-02-03T16:51:45.472-06:00Good on the recovery, bad on the taking the gun of...Good on the recovery, bad on the taking the gun off... sighOld NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1514231109048414085.post-68028886438259432012012-02-03T14:15:28.472-06:002012-02-03T14:15:28.472-06:00Yes, complacency with a firearm usually goes bad, ...Yes, complacency with a firearm usually goes bad, but is also very easy to fall into.Keadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982258812373127063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1514231109048414085.post-59720332754180871232012-02-03T13:54:28.396-06:002012-02-03T13:54:28.396-06:00Sad to say there is one born every second of the d...Sad to say there is one born every second of the day. Remember the cop in New York that placed his AR on the trunk of his car, and drove away. He reached his destination and the rifle was still in place, small miracle, but what an idiot.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752401490789789451noreply@blogger.com
