playing with your gun

[Swannytheswan]

  i did not want to mention everything cuz of shock and fright.  i also have guns hidden in the house in most every room and not in one spot.  one is in a cut out book , one in a sock , one in a hunting vest, one in a tool box, etc.  they are all away from where kids can get them.  mike w

just because your paranoid doesn't mean someone is not following you

I do all the time. Practice drawing quickly,loading and unloading quickly and engaging targets ....like doors ,windows, chairs...

I just took mine out again today. Cleared it, then worked the action a few times. Took it apart and put it back together. I have a problem, I think! This is a daily thing and I can't seem to stop doing it.

Just checked mine in at the Courthouse.  Ha ha love it.   Let the party begin

[pianoman9701]

It'd be kind of ironic if they kept the one you checked in, too!  Good luck in there RT.

[rtspring]

Ha ha. That chit isnt funny.  I got enough problems as it is!  Ha ha.  We shall see

I would never play, it's not a toy!

Though I do practice reloading and dry firing and the TV 

I have probably shot every picture in my house a couple hundred times, my wife's a couple thousand, 

I do trigger pulls all the time so I know exactly where it releases and how far it needs to reset.

Every time I insert a mag, my dog gets up and gives me "that look" and goes upstairs

Don't think I have ever played with the gun.  But I will have them out going through them.  I do have a target posted on my wall in my office and have used snap caps and went through range of motion as practice.

  to this whole thread.

I'm new, I "play" with mine all the time, trying to build muscle-memory of drawing/aim/safety off/fire. A man with a knife at 15 feet will charge you faster than you can draw, clear the safety, and fire (most of the time).

[Alchase]

 
For muscle memory, just like in Martial arts, you exaggerate it in practice, then it becomes natural when you need it.

I do the day before and morning of a Cowboy Action match, gotta keep the muscle memory in tact so it's like second nature.

funny stuff right here. theres nothing wrong with fondling your firearms.

Well yea but, how about your gun?

[Jack Diamond]

No playing , just a condition reflex . Comes with the territory .

I never play with them, I occasionally do dry fire drills and practice drawing from a holster with snap caps instead of live ammo loaded though. Now that I am a parent, I even try to avoid the terms "play", and "toy" when referring to firearms.
