Is it bad to play with your gun?

It's not a great idea. All it takes is forgetting to unload it once

Keep doing that and kill yourself

>Sometimes I point it at my head and body when I dry fire.
You FUCKING moron. You are just trying your hardest to become another statistic anti-gunners use against us. Good work.

yeah bro you should really reconsider such exceedingly poor decisions

Practice drawing and dry fire trigger practice I do at home all the time too, but I use Snap caps and the laser inserts. I'd say don't point it at yourself, but yeah, practice drawing and dry firing is a normal thing IMO.

To piggyback on OP's question, is sleeping with a loaded gun under your pillow a meme? I saw James Bond do it in a few films

Not under your pillow but easily reachable would be better.

had a former customer who accidentally put a paperwad into his skull.

I sleep with my 1911 wedged between my mattress right beside my head. Though the slide is not racked.

part of me wants to give you a smart ass response, something derisive because of how ignorant your alleged activity is, less you are trolling. Instead, at 32, I will give you the grown ass man response:

You show disrespect for a tool that can kill, and in turn show disrespect for yourself. There is a small pride, and discipline in taking activities seriously and putting aside frivolous, childlike behavior. It not only speaks to a viewer, but yourself each time you execute such behavior that you find yourself above being serious.

If you aren't serious with a gun, it reflects poorly on your character, showing you of poor judgement, values, and possibly moral standing.

Why? Because every year people get killed, or injured with accidental discharges. Even if you are extremely careful, and ever fuck up, your behavior reflects that you disregard the fuck ups of others, and find them of no consequence to yourself, and especially of others.

So every time you are being a "dumb ass" you are basically saying "fuck it. I dont care people think I am an asshole, because I am acting like an asshole. I act like an asshole in private because I feel the need to rebel against rules where I can because I am a child at heart."

So the real tl/dr is, act like man, because its respect of society, and of yourself.

I understand what you mean
I guess I was thinking of it as becoming more familiar with handling the gun, but you're right that deep down it's childish behavior

I do the same shit. pretend to shoot my dogs, tv, etc. I make it a habit to always clear my guns when I pick it up, even if I was just playing with it a few moments earlier. if im gonna be stupid, i might as well be stupid safely

Surely you mean the hammer is down or the safety is on or a round isn't chambered

Different poster to the one you responded to, but all you can do now is to just stop playing with it. Firearms demand respect.

>>34945867
Acknowledgement of your own actions, and understanding where they come from, what drives you, and how you can guide yourself; that's called functional introspection +10 to self respect.

Everything you said is fine except for pointing it at yourself or any direction that could possibly end in the injury of yourself or another human/animal unless intended. Dry firing practice is fine, just never ever point a gun at something you don't want dead. That said if you have a death wish OP carry on.
