Nothing scarier than an untrained person with a firearm.

[@newrunner91]

We were all untrained at one time. The difference might be that most of us were supervised better in the beginning.

Agreed. I can't believe they let them shoot without any direct supervision. That was an accident waiting to happen.

I worked in a gun store where we had a decked out ar-10 on display. I asked a guy from South Africa if he wanted to hold it to which he quickly refused. His friend from Ukraine gladly held it while laughing like major payne.

[@NikkiSchumacherOfficial]

As a typical American girl (born in Texas) who has been shooting since the age of 9 or so, this was extremely stressful to watch. No one should be shooting for the first time without complete supervision. 😳 Not your fault that they didn't do their job. You were raised in a place without guns and they should have been sensitive to that and accompanied you for safety the entire time.

[@austinsilvis2785]

Yeah there are a few main rules that EVERYONE with a gun should learn before even touching one. the two big ones are: 1. treat every gun as if it is loaded 2. Do not point the barrel of the gun, intentionally or unintentionally, at something that you do not intend to shoot. The instructor should have went over this with you before even pulling the guns out of the case

[@liamgriffin218]

the other 2: 3. Know your Target, and what (or who) is behind it. 4. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are prepared to fire.

[@gregorykenfield3134]

3. Always use the safety, but never trust the safety.

If it's laying In your safe closed and loaded. It's less than lethal

[@tpaine7680]

Meh, it's stressful the first time or two for almost anyone. After that it does start to feel more normal. You still stay attentive to safety, but that's when they could feel closer still to having had more of the experience.

[@stn7172]

They should've ask if any American subscriber would let them shoot in there back yard, it much less noisy in a indoor range.

[@billlyell8322]

I disagree, guns are only as dangerous as the person NOT controlling them properly. If the owner IS controlling them, they present no danger. A hammer can kill you. No one panics if a carpenter walks by with a hammer in his belt.

[@johnthomas2485]

Yeah, as a Lifetime NRA Member, a paratrooper, and former Law Enforcement, I wish to apologize to you for the range experience. The range was borderline criminal in not having someone with you helping. They knew you had zero experience with firearms. They are dangerous when not handled safely.

[@ericedwards3055]

Thank you for being sensible John.

[@Cruxador]

Yeah I was very surprised how cavalier they were. It may have been the first rule on their list but anywhere I've been, we would have beaten that into her before she got to the range.

[@wrightae68]

John is absolutely correct. The lack of guidance turned what could've been a truly enjoyable experience into one that was supremely dangerous when it didn't need to be. I completely blame the Range personnel for not supervising that better.

[@rjpg]

@@pmw8000 Wrong, that is her demeanor (she is awesome). I see 25 year old "cutsies" all the time. No act there. The range personnel should've been more pro-active showing both of them how to handle the guns more safely.

Amen, as I stated above, I would never have had brand new folks head out on my range without a lot more training, and starting with a .22 and working their way up as their range etiquette, safety and confidence grew. Certainly not my idea of a well run firing range.

[@bcuniverse_]

4:48 finger on the trigger, loading magazine which can drop the slide, yep she was about half a second from shooting her man in the heart. you guys should send that range safety officer a Christmas gift every year

[@thefirststrike]

NO, they shouldn't! Because if he had actually been doing his job, he would have been supervising them both from the very beginning! Knowing that they had never even handled a gun before, they should NEVER have been allowed to even pick up the gun without 100% full time supervision from the staff. That "range safety officer" and everyone else involved with operating that range were all negligent. Can you imagine the lawsuit if she had actually shot someone? Holy sh*t!

The only reason you were stressed out is that you took it seriously. I am proud of you.

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

Made critical mistakes at bad times but you have to remember people coming to expirience it from countries that dont do it, it can be quite a lot the first time om you mentally because you work yourself up and you dont know what to expect and you have to depend on people for help as well as to keep you alive thus video is proof. In usa its very much seen as a means of resisting tyrannical governments because usa is one big tyrannical government rn and its made up of smaller governments that cater towards specific areas all the way down to local level systems so history is not fond of governments they tend to all be entrenched critically flawed demonic entities. Thats often the main reason. Citizens without guns are subjects to their regimes to us. But theres also this cultural aspect where weapons were used as defense against even more numerous other threats such as loose pitbulls or perhaps back in 1771 or 1840 it was more like wild packs of wolves and bison. Usa and canada share a lot of land and canada is basically a facade nation designed to hold usa back so they have way less people than wildlife and there is so much room for wildlife refuges and national parts and fish hatcheries etc because its not restruxted to the size of germany in north america. The history is full of tall tales if people going by wagon across the west thousands of miles by horse and getting robbed by bandits so people do not want to give up their guns and they want it to be easier for any good people to have their own. There is this aspect religiously from the God aspect where its known as a right to have weapons by the creator of the universe and its clearly needed for other purposes such as pest control small game to big game hunting even to the extremes you have alligator and bison and grisly bear. Firearms are good for anti riot control. When they come to burn your house down you worked hard for you have a means to defend it. To a lot of people a gun is seen like a hammer it is really good for driving nails but i mean its up to your imagination to figure out what else theyre good for. Lime target practice, plinking and recreational shooting for fun like blowing up watermelons.

[@chuckvt5196]

As the former manager and certified trainer at a gun range, I felt so bad for poor, sweet Lia! I was feeling her pain! LOL! I would never send someone out on the range without some good training in the training room so you would have totally understood safety and range etiquette, and you would have known about the casing ejecting from the firearm. I also would not have started you with a 9mm, but rather a .22 caliber which is light and easy to fire, but still requires the same attention to detail and targeting. Then I would have moved you up to a 9mm. As a former competition shooter who has shot thousands and thousands of rounds, I can tell you that it is very relaxing when you begin to feel confidant and more familiar with the sport. It is definitely a kind of zen that blends breathing, focus and reflexes to achieve best results, and it takes your mind off the rest of the world for awhile. In any case, I am so proud of both of you for trying it. I have trained Brits before, and since it is not in your culture, it is a scary and nerve wracking thing the first time you go. I am happy that you gave it a try! The staff there seemed super friendly! You did quite well and Lia really drilled that first shot! Brilliant!! Love you guys!

[@bighatstephens]

I agree 100%

[@4wheelliving132]

you pretty much had all the same thoughts that I did. My last house had a shooting range out back and I taught many people how to shoot, especially women when concealed carry went into effect, and I always started them with a 22. What I found is that pretty quick they wanted something a little more powerful. I also would bring out an AK47 and without exception they ALL wanted to shoot that one. I also would have never let them out there unsupervised, at least at first

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

I know staff may be in short supply, but as new as they obviously were, I'm not sure I would have sent them in there without a dedicated range officer right there on their shoulder. For their safety and for everyone else's. That's not meant as an insult, just a way to keep folks safe and make sure you don't leave them out there fumbling around.

[@adamwaterman1229]

Being in the military and shooting since a young age this was my favorite and most cringe. I just want to take you both to some open property and give you a more enjoyable experience. Shooting a glock which is one of the more rugged and lightweight handguns in a daft indoor range with other various rounds going off around you is the worst way to experience guns.

[@bluesdealer]

Adam Waterman for real. I’ve never been to a shooting range. Open property in the country is the way to go

[@levifranklin5373]

I completely agree. A Glock is a great gun to buy, but not the best for a first time shoot. I also agree about private land shooting. It’s the absolute best way to go for a first timer. Indoor ranges are super loud and can be very stressful.

[@jernbek1]

Agreed. I always start my beginners off with a .22 pistol or my marlin .22LR rifle. They are great beginner guns to ease them into it and the build up. I hate jackasses that’ll hand a newbie 300 win mag rifle or something. You gotta make the newbie comfortable.

Not sure what made me cringe more. The Flaggin or the “Camera Case” at the end.

[@OwlskiTV]

As someone who's first experience has been in an indoor range, I 100% concur. The people running the place knew I was fresh, yet still placed me right next to a guy offloading (yes offloading) a .44 mag, in an empty range. Literally made me jump every time they fired off a shot, and made focusing on aiming and focusing on properly handling the firearm quite stressful.

[@bigaspidistra]

Safety advice everyone: Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target ..

[@Jack_Stafford]

Never point at something you don't intend to shoot, safety off until you are ready to shoot, never put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to actually shoot, not while you're aiming not while you're moving around or getting ready, only when you are already aiming, safety off and ready to shoot do you ever put your finger in your that trigger. This gun shop was a bit negligent and not assigning them a dedicated trainer that could go over the basics and reinforce them and stand there with them. Thankfully there was not a tragedy. The way it was handled in Irish Diane's video where he took her step by step as if she were a child, because if you never handled a gun you should be treated like a child that handles a gun for the first time. Because people are used to gesturing with their hands and pointing with their fingers and you need to constantly remind them don't point that anywhere except down range or towards the ground and it needs to be repeated, nicely, several times for adults to get it because we're just not used to doing that. We pointed things with pens and our fingers and other objects and it seems very natural and you just have to get that muscle memory that when it comes to the gun, no pointing, no trigger.

[@ladydawgfan4832]

More safety advice for guns: Always remember that there is no such thing as an unloaded gun. They tend to load themselves. So always treat them as if they are loaded, even if you swear on your soul that they aren't. If you are wrong, the results could be deadly.

[@jspychalski7286]

Firearms safety rules exist for your safety and that of people nearby. Rule 1: Treat all firearms as if they are loaded. Rule 2: Never let the muzzle cover anything you’re not willing to destroy. Rule 3: Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target. Rule 4: Be sure of your target and what is beyond it. Follow the rules and shooting becomes one of the safest recreational or sporting activities. The mental focus required for accurate shooting is one of the reasons why so many consider target shooting relaxing. You leave behind your other worries when you properly focus.
