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.

Unload, show clear, hammer down

You should visually and physically inspect the chamber to ensure the weapon is not loaded.

Please follow the basic firearms safety rules. The selector should be on safe.


And don't give me thisismysafety.jpg, you're ARFCOM, your weapon should be on safe.


Lots of people have the mag empty. Can't put it on safe if the gun hasn't had its charging handle pulled.

It's nothing to really get upset about.

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.

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 didn't think so. Put the selector on safe.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
