[@myanaloglife9450]

I’m actually more concerned that she “was” trying to pull the trigger. I can picture after the first no fire taking the revolver and looking down the barrel. I’m not joking. I really think she would have shot herself is she knew of the trigger. That’s god’s grace looking out for us when we need it most. Worst part is I’m sure this happens more often then we think to men or woman. Thank you Barry for helping her be safer.

@@nathanpierce2541 not true Alec is innocent it’s not his fault that he ignored Every! Rule of Gun Safety. Because when your an elite liberal rules and consequences are for everyone else like the grieving families.

Watch them and listen carefully. IV8888 does the most in depth disassembly videos available

[@joby613]

I personally believe that gun ownership is a GOD Given Right, with that being said, some people can't even tie their own shoes! The level of ignorance of gun operation, (ignoring gun safety) in my mind's eye, to me says that some of these RIDICULOUS gun laws may be pertinent to our time. The gun is a simple machine meant to do one thing, and if people can't figure out how to operate it, then maybe most gun laws should be more stringent. Or, conversely, we need better education as far as gun operation. People are stupid. Make gun classes MANDATORY in states that allow guns, and allow the people that are smart enough own and operate guns as freely as law enforcement.

[@WorldwideDarts]

What do you think about felons losing their rights to own a gun? If their time is served and they are no longer on parole do you think they should be allowed to have a gun? Would the crime committed matter?

[@lennylele727]

I agree, the right to own a gun and the notion of a god should be equally prevalent. And since there is absolutely no proof of a god there should be absolutely no right to own a gun either.

[@jimnickles2347]

Yes, that is bullshit. If you Served the time and were Released, then you are a Citizen again, are you not? If Not, INJUSTICE. I know some ex-convicts, and they are forced to commit a Felony just to have a home defense weapon. This is WRONG, even if the guy WAS a Murderer. If you're Afraid of him, you fucked up by Releasing him, or not Executing him. I bet Felons can legally STILL be DRAFTED, though. @@WorldwideDarts

[@jimnickles2347]

Okay, I'LL Field THIS one. How's THIS? I CLAIM the Right to Own weapons by MY OWN AUTHORITY as a MAN, As a Citizen, and as a Father/Husband with Loved Ones to Protect. I TAKE this Right Regardless of LAWS For or Against, and I will KEEP IT by Force of Arms if necessary. I DEFY and DENY ANYONE to hinder my Self-Defense in ANY WAY, Lawful or Otherwise.

[@KenchiD1]

i've seen the same thing with the reverse loaded 9mm rounds ^^ it was a friend who shot the first time a pistol. but because he was unexperienced one guy from the range staff members was next to him and immediatly explained his error to him. i could have done that too and of course we smiled a bit, but we did not think of him as an idiot because he was smart enough to not try to shoot a gun the first time alone and so there were people around who could instruct and help him.

Never watched these guys much, but RIP Barry

[@MrSkullHead1250]

You know, I have never fired an actual gun in my entire life. I am thinking about getting my first sometime this year, something simple. That is one of the reasons I watch your videos because you are extremely helpful and educational for even the most basic gun knowledge. I have never heard of someone that does not know to pull a trigger on a gun to fire it, that blows my mind...

[@luisecobian3691]

That's the right way to do it,educate your self and by the time you get to handle your first you will it safely and properly,I hate states that force training down our throats it's your responsibility to find out how to properly use a gun,you have to be an adult to purchase a gun so you should act like one

[@larsonfam3861]

People lacking that kind of powers of deduction should not own firearms...

[@HMJ870]

Right. If you sell someone a gun and they return later not knowing about pulling the trigger or some such issue, you need to take that gun away and not return it until they can prove they have the skill and knowledge to use it safely. One or more of your employees or customers could have been seriously injured

[@soofihasan]

Miss you berry..nothing cocky or wise cracks.. just plain knowledge and wisdom

[@bryanjr5745]

I may get flak for this, but this is exactly the reason why there needs to be a licensing system for fire arms. People should go to a class, take a test, and PROVE that they understand and are capable of using a firearm. Like what we do with cars. Believe me I'm no firearm hating anti gunner, I love guns and I support the 2nd amendment (I'm Canadian btw) I just think that in some places its way too easy to get a gun, allowing uninformed and stupid people access to things that can end up causing trouble in the wrong hands.

[@scotthelm5577]

does having a license, taking an exam, and being made aware of the risks with DUI's stop thousands of vehicle deaths per year? No, and there's your answer.

[@bryanjr5745]

Well it'd sure as hell stop idiots like the ones mentioned in the video from making these kind of mistakes which can be extremely deadly.

[@bryanjr5745]

It makes sense to not sell guns to people who don't know what they're dealing with so they don't shoot themselves or others. Accidents that arise from foolish, untrained, first time gun buyers in itself is very tragic, but then the anti gun types would use those instances to paint a picture of all firearms owners as irresponsible because of one idiot who was sold a gun who shouldn't have had it in the first place. Imagine if we just sold cars to people without licenses?

[@scotthelm5577]

If you are stupid enough to not understand the trigger fired the weapon, I don't want you in a car or anywhere near my children at all. That's an extreme case of a dumbass on earth. No test will help that kind of stupidity. As I said, your car analogy is bogus, for many reasons. We take exams and pass road test for our license. They still kill more people per capita than anything else. We learn about DUI laws, yet, people still die at an alarming rate anyway. I don't believe taking an exam to drive a car deters deaths on the road at all. Also, in America, driving a car is a PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT. Owning Firearms is a RIGHT, and the government cannot impede on it. 95% of Legal gun owners know how to fire the weapon and operate it. We are not going to bend the constitution because there are a few idiots who can't pee standing up without hitting their feet. In Canada, you don't have God given rights. You don't have a constitution. You are properties of the state. We don't want that here, and we arent going to allow the government the right to chip away at us.

[@bryanjr5745]

A test obviously wouldn't serve to teach anyone about firearms, it would only be used to certify or prove that a person is capable of owning/operating a firearm. A course is what would teach a person how to properly use them, and again, the test would be to prove that they are capable. As for Canada not having a constitution, that couldn't be further from the truth, but i won't argue with you about our government being because I would agree our politicians can't tell their asses from their elbows. I also have to give it to you; you are very right in that owning a firearm is a right and not a privilege so my idea wouldn't be appropriate in the US, but i would hope that more and more people continue to practice gun safety because no one wants the examples of the people in the videos to be owning firearms.

[@roofortuyn]

I had to watch the video twice to find the notice the "subscribe, or we will find you" Pure gold, right there!

[@dead_p1xl964]

I'm all for the right to bear arms, but there needs to be SOME level of competence required to own a gun. If you buy a revolver and don't know you have to PULL THE TRIGGER, you probably shouldn't own a gun until you take some classes.

[@siciliancapeverde4646]

Eric and Barry, you two guys are the absolute best, love your channel, and for all of the nonsense you two must see and hear in the course of a day, let alone the years you two have been at Moss Pawn, I'd love to come hang out with you guys and see and hear the silly shit that happens to you both.

[@leooh29]

[@TheLinkMedic]

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

The backwards loaded magazine still amazes me. Bet it was a liberal.

[@kidnurse1970]

i absolutely love these "gun gripes" series. Seriously, they're entertaining and funny as all hell, but they may actually educate some newbies who are too ashamed to ask for help.

[@Dead_ead]

This is why in Canada they make you take a safety course BEFORE you can buy firearms.

[@AirForceAce3571]

people take driver's education too but still drvie poorly and get into accidents. As Ron White says "you can't fix stupid." either way one shouldn't have to take a cource (i.e. asking the govt's permission) to exercise a god-given right. that is only a vehicle for disarmament, D.C. is the perfect example.

[@newtoguns9178]

AirForceAce3571 That is a very flawed assumption. Training is not a bad thing and should not account to control. Maybe the gun shops down there can take it upon themselves to have a mandatory hour training course before they can walk out with the gun? This way no government control but they still get some sort of training? In Canada we have to pass the training course(s) which is not hard and undergo a criminal record check. Problem with our system is that its considered a privilege not a right to own a firearm and the RCMP take their sweet ass time issuing it. This is where its harder here. But training in of itself is not bad. Maybe like I said gun shops take more action on their own and no government regulations/restrictions will be needed? Just a thought.

[@jimnickles2347]

Yes, Training is ALWAYS Good. But in America, EVERYTHING the Government has a Hand In becomes a Money Racket AND/OR Another Way to CONTROL People. Yes, your solution is a Workable one, have the Gunshops do it. I posted as much before seeing your post. As an American, I had NO IDEA that there even WERE People THAT Ignorant or Clueless. STILL In SHOCK.....@@newtoguns9178

[@rabie4x4]

That goes with anything! I have operator manuals on the 3 units of the power plant I start up, run and shut down! And these are not small units! It takes at least 6 hours to start each one up on a fast day. Sometimes they are on for such a long time one has to go thru the written procedures just to know how to properly shut them down safely. There are amendments to these procedures along the way, but the instruction manuals are worth their weight in-- well you get it. Between the ears!

[@gottasee842]

it seriously hurts my brain to know there are people out there like this.

[@UhYeahNoThanks]

You know, one of the biggest, and probably most dangerous misconceptions that I've dealt with in regards to gun safety is that some people think that no magazine in gun = gun not loaded

[@Cartalgash]

That reverse loaded magazine on the glock. That just made me crack up so badly

[@christsminstrel]

I just figure they didn't have a daddy. My dad bought me a .22 rifle when I was 13. By the time I was 14 I knew the difference between .22 short, .22 long, .22 long rifle, and how semi-automatic rifles worked, and that the ammo is dangerous out to maybe a mile, and that the bullets point toward the muzzle (and what a muzzle was), and that a dirty gun jams. I don't ever recall having to be told that I needed to pull back on the trigger though. That one's a classic.

[@mariolt4940]

I love reading my new gun manuals. Its like I'm on a new adventure. Always learn something.

[@TheDrRJP]

Your story about the lady who didn't pull the trigger reminded me of a summer job I had in a Miami department store. A lady wants to buy a large floor fan. After looking at the different types, she decides to get a 20" box fan. Next day she comes in wanting to return it. I asked, "What's the problem with the fan? She replies, "It's defective." I probe further. "What exactly is it doing or not doing?" She yells back, "It's blowing hot air. Yesterday when I tried it out in the store, it blew cold air."

[@jasonbuck489]

I miss seeing Ol' Barry on the videos... He was always trying to be 110% SERIOUS, but damn it, that man was FUNNY!.... Sometimes when he talked about the dumb stuff he'd say people did, you can tell it just would completely BLOW HIS MIND!... He seemed like he was very knowledgeable and a decent fella....

[@estufadeldolor]

in all fairness I've been into guns since 01 or so and the first time I had one of those boxes of federal's it took me like 10 minutes to figure out how to open it.

[@drifter2be]

My favorite was a trip to the range where a gun-noob was trying to load his revolver front to back in the cylinder instead of from the back of the cylinder forward. Couldn't get the cylinder closed...obviously. Made him feel a little stupid, but showed him the right way, and gave him a little lesson in firearms safety as well as knowing your firearm before considering taking it to the range. Hopefully he will learn how to operate his next one BEFORE taking it to the range.

[@joelhines9408]

I've been around firearms for 55+ years, I'm planning on purchasing a new gun soon and immediately after taking it out of the box my plan is to read the manual although I've read hundreds of others before. This was one of the scariest videos I've ever seen. I guess you just can't fix stupid, even with duct tape.

Thanks for your video. Here in western Washington state we have had THREE tragic accidental shootings of young children in the last 30 days. Two were fatal, and both resulted from adults leaving (legally carried) loaded handguns AND their young kids unattended in their cars. One of those two adults was a local LEO !

[@MarksmanTV]

This video is soooo true! I have taken friends to the range... I always watch the newcomers like a hawk because I am the biggest safety nazi around... It is INSANE how often people will try and load bullets in the wrong direction. People who are familiar with guns get so comfortable thinking that stuff is basic knowledge... when people ask me ask me which way to load bullets, I just ask them if they prefer if they fire towards the target or towards themselves lol...

[@toxicmatrix1337]

KZbin is sometimes more helpful than the gun manuals. Some manuals are very vague or say that things should take very little force to come out. The tolerances for some new guns are so tight that certain pins need a punch to remove. Doesn't take much force, but like hell you can just push it out with your finger. Another example the S&W MP9, the tool in the grip 100% had to be pried out on mine. No way was it possible to pull out by hand. Makes me nervous when dealing with that and youtube definitely helps seeing someone else do it and say "oh, that needs to get broken in before it can pop out sometimes". THANKS...

[@Fast919]

Here's one that went the right way: i was in a gun shop talkin with the gunsmith when a guy comes in with a Glock 23 plainly marked .40 on the slide and on the mag, but not on the barrel. He explains that he can't get .40 s&w to chamber. James (the gunsmith) takes it apart and can't find any markings on the barrel and verifies that .40 won't chamber. I asked James if he was thinking what I was. He said 357 Sig? I said try it and it fit like a glove. All barrels should be stamped with the caliber

[@luckytoo7]

I'm in the Army National Guard in WA and one of the people in my old unit tried to alternat the bullets in her magazine, that was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

We wear fall protection to perform maintenance. This is a must. In my instructions I mentioned that we have a procedure that allows us not to wear fall protection if we are 6' away from the edge. A volunteer walked on the working deak without fall protection. My heart stopped. I realized my instructions confused the volunteer. Be specific

Here in South Africa you have to obtain a competency certificate from a registered firearm instructor before your can own a firearm. The certificate requires you to write an exam on the laws applicable to firearm ownership and you do a practical exam on the safe operation of the specific type of firearm that you intend to purchase.

If I loaded a magazine with backwards ammo I would be embarrassed as hell bringing it into a shop to find out I'm an idiot.

[@2009Berghof]

Here is one for you. I worked with a woman that asked for advice regarding buying a gun for the home, her first. She did not buy exactly what I recommended, she did buy a pump 12 gauge shotgun. During the following year, I would inquire, "Have you shot your gun yet." The answer was repeatedly, "No." Surprisingly, one day she said she did shoot it, but it would only fire one round at a time. Can you guess why it would not repeat? "Did you read the manual?" Can you guess the answer? She had no idea that you had to load the gun's magazine tube!

[@iansprojects3081]

Maybe I am weird but I actually love reading gun manuals even if I don't have the gun u just learn so much

[@atomgonuclear]

Imagine how that would hold up in court if she accidentally shot somebody. " I just didn't know you had to pull the trigger". Nobody on planet earth would believe this. Watch any single action movie ever made. In states that required permits, I think it should be mandatory you take a safety test to get a gun, even if it's a small 1 min test at the clerks desk OR have a waiver signed by references saying that you have experience. Nobody with 0 experience should be shooting alone

"Anytime you buy a new firearm, especially a new gun.." This is why you were the best Barry, you're missed

[@dougwatches]

3:53 "she didn't know that you had to pull the trigger". I had to see that twice to believe what I heard, and reset my jaw after it fell on the floor.

[@fadedflage]

These stories are amazing, Mind blowing.

[@GUNSHIPFLEX]

She didn't know you had to pull the trigger ! What!?!? 😂😂😂😂😂

[@SemperSig]

You aren't even kidding about people loading magazines backwards. Twice in the last year I have assisted new, frustrated gun owners with this very issue at my local range. New glocks bought just that day, both times. After showing them correct way to load their magazine, I suggested that they immediately take the gun home (unloaded) read their manual thoroughly, then look into taking a basic pistol safety course before doing anything else with it. At-least one of the two did just that. TFTV!

This is why (shockingly) I actually SUPPORT some of Canada's gun laws. And yes I am a Canadian gun owner. Up here we must take a course on safe firearm handling, where they show you each different type of action and how to load, unload, and discharge it safely. And I don't mind...because I don't want someone beside me at the range who doesn't know where the trigger is!

People hate two things in life the most, READING and DOING THINGS FOR THEMSELVES.

[@jimnickles2347]

MODERN People do. I grew Up when America WAS America, and learned it all from age 2 onward. We weren't coddled or bubblewrapped to Hell and Gone.

[@sethwatson8952]

LOL, "Solved by rapid blows with a mallet." I almost pissed myself.

[@keggerous]

I never shot gun in my entire life til a month ago. Even then I was fully capable of operating the firearm effectively. Just from watching movies and playing video games I understood all the basics of loading, chamber, and firing the two semi-auto handgun I shot. the only issue I had was with not pushing the mag in far enough with the 1911 I shot.

[@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg]

I even download and read the manuals for guns and equipment I don't own. Can never be too sure, because you just never know when you might be in a situation when you need to pick up a gun you're unfamiliar with and use it in an emergency.

[@blackschnauzergaming]

"she didn't know you have to pull the trigger..." I lost it at that point! ROFLMAO!!!!

[@soonerpgh]

Had that exact thing happen with someone very close to me. This person handed me a .380 and a full mag and asked if I could get it to load. I removed the ammo, turned it around and handed the mag back to a very embarrassed friend. No harm to anything but the pride on that one.

[@rend120]

Poor Barry and Eric. "no! I dont believe it! I have to pull the trigger to fire the gun!? Barry "yes ma'm you also need to flip the light switch to turn on the lights in your home". Don't even get me started on the guy who couldn't open a box of ammunition. What's worse is they probably weren't even embarrassed after asking these questions. Impressive

[@AdbilPlays]

This is why I like the idea of firearm licences, just taking a basic test so that anyone with the licence will know how to do the basics on most actions.

[@rakkasan6maddog635]

Incredible - You can't fix stupid! For GA carry license, I was thrilled that I didn't have to go through a class. But after watching this video, I think that a class should be included to make sure that the DA's out there will be either educated or denied a carry license.

[@petfrogg]

I was rolling on the floor laughing... Ever refused a customer for being to stupid?

[@brianpartlow5530]

I cocked this revolver 2 hours ago and nothing! LOL. Loading backwards! We had an experienced armored car guard do it on the requalify range. 10 years experience, you have to requalify twice a year and he still didn't have it figured out! It's a good thing he never had to use his gun on the job. LOL. If you are buying a gun and never used it before, keep it in the box, go to a range that does classes and sign up. If the classes cost too much, find an experienced friend to teach you the basics before you hurt yourself or somebody else.
