Are you bored OP? Is this your Saturday night bit of fun? It's Sunday morning here, and I wanted to make sure all my friends on Arfcom were being safe. Additionally, it turns out people don't understand how springs work. When I get off of work, I'm going to have to kick some spring science class in this thread.

You should visually and physically inspect the chamber to ensure the weapon is not loaded. Hhmm, let's see...when checking out a weapon from the armory....take weapon, insert muzzle into clearing barrel, pull charging handle and inspect chamber to ensure clear, release bolt, put on fire and pull the trigger, close dust cover, insert loaded mag. Weapon cannot be put on safe in this condition. It's the way I've always stored and carried. |

You don't need to drop the hammer. That's not how springs work. Read a science book. Your weapon should be on safe, unless you intend to fire. Do you intend to fire your weapon in your safe?

I don't leave my firearm stored and cocked...and I haven't figured out how to drop the hammer on my AR and then engage the safety. Can you explain it to me, Safety Nazi?

Oh bull shit.
The AR can't be placed on safe without cocking it first, so it's actually SAFER the way you hate to see it in I bet you're fun at parties. Do you call the cops on kids playing nerf wars? |

But what if the mag is empty or there is no round chambered? On safe. What if the hammer is down? Why is the hammer down?

I'll do as I please, and I can't put the selector on SAFE when the hammer is forward - which is how I keep my rifles when they are unloaded.

Any time a thread title starts with "A serious discussion" should be a clue as to how serious it's actually going to be...
Hammer down on all of mine that aren't hot |

Hey OP, I'm building an ultra light weight rifle, and am considering leaving out the safety, which will save me about 0.3oz. Would that be OK?
|
|
Hoping the OP did some research on how springs wear.
Betting the OP is trying to drown his sorrows after finding out he knows nothing about springs. But he does know how to troll GD. |

Pretty certain that military armory racks require the weapon to be stored hammer forward.

OP calls the police if he thinks he sees someone driving without a seatbelt on.

If you're only talking about an AR with a loaded mag inserted and with a loaded chamber, it makes sense. Otherwise, I keep the hammer forward and an empty chamber, in which case the safety cannot be engaged. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I'm sorry. I didn't know they could shoot you through the internet

Cant put the selector on safe unless the hammers back, much safer to have the hammer down.
Lots of times when I take pics the mag is empty and hammer down so lighten up Francis |

Pretty soon you'll start whining about cocked and locked 1911 pictures and knives not in their sheaths.

OP is guilty of failing to keep his funny as Fuck pic thread running.

Ive never used the safeties on my ak's. Fuck that scratch
Omg!!!!! |

If you have a firearm that has a manual safety and is loaded and chambered, the safety should be on. Especially with long-guns.
Train to use the safety, as it could inadvertently engage without your knowledge. And aside from that, long-guns can't really have their trigger guards covered properly, and if you have it slung, gear can get snagged on it and such. However, storing an AR in a rack-safe fashion is fine, so OP is silly. |

View Quote It doesn't have the same effect if there's no sear pin above the safety selector. Nice try, though. |

You guys need to realize that this is just a troll thread. No need to get upset. View Quote Not trolling. Learn the weapon's condition codes, abide by them, and be safe. How many threads do we have of Arfcommers NDing because they pulled the trigger on an "empty" chamber? There is no reason to drop the hammer. I want you guys to handle weapons like the pros. Safety isn't a joke. |

Oh smack! The safety is off on this one too! http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy47/Gunslinger8O8/G30.jpg View Quote I store my Glock 19 with a full mag, round in the chamber, in the holster. The one poor design flaw with the Glock is the requirement to drop the striker to disassemble it. I'd wager many NDs with Glocks come from people dropping the striker to disassemble it on a loaded chamber. Promoting firearms safety on a gun board should be normal. |

Properly stored with hammer down, empty magazine inserted to provide stand. OP, you have a tank, did you ever try to turn in your weapon with the selector on Safe? How did that work out for you? http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx239/Scott_In_OKC/Firearms/SpikeSuppressed.jpg View Quote In the Marines, M4s and M16s are passed to the armory with the bolt to the rear, weapon on safe. The armorer inspects the chamber, sends the bolt home, and stores the weapon in condition 4. Are you trying to tell me that the Marines are the only ones who properly handle their weapons in accordance with the weapon safety rules and weapons condition codes for the particular weapons? Shocking. |

One time, YouTuber Bisquik3006 had a video where he's like "Okay, for all you safety nannies, I'll show you my 1911 is clear." and proceeded to jack a round out, feigned an OHSHIT with his eyes, and skipped to the next take.
Comic genius. ETA: OP, I bet you'd love cokeman2423. |
