I'm 66 and these four principles were taught to me by my grandfather at a very early age. In fact I got my ears boxed one time because , I forgot one of these.....I never forgot again ! I remembered him at basic training at Ft. Ord .Thanks Mike , Great content !
Very true, I was and also raised with firearms, and I raised my children with firearms, I let them handle them, and learn about them, there was no mystery therefore they were like, yep it's a gun, no big deal. Never had a problem one. If people want issues with kids and guns, hide them, lock them away and never teach about them, kids will be kids. Remove the mystery and remove the problem for the most part. Thanks a million Y'all for another great video.
I remember 40 years ago the smoke session I got for touching my dads rifle without clearing it. Ass chewed out, remedial drills and then “move the woodpile” ~150 pieces of wood from one side of the property to the other by hand. That was his go to punishment for most anything.
Basics first, Beginner or Seasoned shooter. Good stuff Mike and Amber! I was actually waiting for a "that's what she said" when he did the low light, finger in the magazine well check.
Excellent instruction! Especially, for the roughly 8 million new gun owners in America. But, these aren't only for new shooters, they are for all shooters, all the time. And, they aren't just for firearms. They're also for pellet and BB guns, bows and arrows, crossbows, and sling shots. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
I can really appreciate the advise on how to make firearms less taboo for kids. You guys really made some great points. I've been doing that with my son since he was 4. He's 7 and he understands that firearms can be dangerous if you don't follow the rules properly.
Clear and esy instructions here like always✌ grest work, love your content. You make it easy to understand even for people who have no or little knowledge👍 appreciate your wisdom👍👍😁
100 percent, keeping that in mind there are a few caveats. I always see people get butthurt about folks doing certain things like visually inspecting from the muzzle end. Once proven 100 percent safe it is actually common practice and taught here in Canada to visually check the barrel to make sure you don't have an obstruction prior to loading up and going shooting or performing this check if you have any suspicion of having mud, snow, a bullet, etc. lodged in the barrel.
My kids have been around firearms ever since they could walk. I had them field striping pistols/rifles @ 8 years old(they wanted to know what dad was doing). I brought them to the range at an early age instilling those 4 rules of gun safety. They learned the safety and respect for the firearm is paramount. I had no issues with my kids and firearms. I read these stories of kids accidentally shooting friends etc., in these cases with firearms, curiosity will kill or injure the cat. So I agree with introducing kids to firearms early if you do own a firearm.
Amber's last comment is soooo underrated! Kids that are told that guns are bad / taboo/ and or that don't know anything about them will most definitely want to play with them if they come across one in an uncontrolled environment, which could turn sideways very quickly! It's sooo important to at least not make guns seem like a taboo thing so that they are familiar with them and not in "awe" if they come across one to where they are wanting to play with it. For example, my son has been around guns in a controlled environment since he was very young. He respects them, shoots them, can break down most firearms. If he was walking home from school when he was 8 & him and his buddies came across a firearm in a ditch, he wouldn't be in "awe" over it. He'd know what it was, could probably identify the manufacturer, probably knows how to field strip it, etc...he wouldn't be enticed to want to play with it because it's NOT a taboo item to him. It would be like walking home and seeing a dog..no big deal, see them all the time, knows what to do and what not to do with a strange dog, etc.. It is those kids that their parents demonize firearms or don't involve them with them at all that will see that same gun in the ditch and instantly be intrigued & want to play with it & let's be honest, they will probably do exactly what they see on TV or learned from playing with toy guns, point it at a friend and say bang, while possibly pulling the trigger...uggh! Another reason while my son did not play with water guns, play guns, any kind of gun until AFTER he was familiar with them and even at that, he was never allowed to play with water guns and dart guns, etc, because they show you everything you should never do with a gun, primarily, aim at a friendly and pull the trigger. Yes, it's all in fun, but it goes against proper firearm safety, so I never allowed my son to play with "toy" guns. Once again, what Amber said really needs to be drilled home a lot more often! Gun safety must start with our children. They don't need to shoot them, but they need to respect them and parents must STOP hiding guns from them to the point of making their children curious of them if they are outside of the home and come in contact with one. In keeping your child more "safe" you're actually doing the exact opposite by demonizing and hiding guns from them!
LBTB was what helped me recall them, not like it was a serious task to remember them as it became common sense in daily handling practice but recalling them verbally wasn't something I had to do daily... Loaded, Barrel, Trigger, Backdrop.
I would add when picking up that gun that is on the bench, table, coming up on it for the first time, and you didn't put it there. I'm going to activate the magazine, (clip) release first, then rack the slide back.... or you could be racking a round in the chamber 😊
Rules of gun safety been around for a long long time, used to be they taught hunter safety in schools, my Papaw taught me the the rules of gun safety back in 1984.
All Never Keep Bees. ( How I got my kids remember) ALL guns are always loaded. NEVER point your weapon at anything you aren't willing to destroy KEEP your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot. BE aware of your surroundings and beyond.
I totally agree with what was said at the end my kids love to shoot but don’t touch the guns just to touch them cause they don’t need to unless it is to defend themselves or practice hunt etc
When checking the gun, pulling the slide to the rear if you are in a gun range you can do that pointing down-range. However, where should you point it if you are elsewhere? to the ground? I ask because of the potential for an unintentional discharge.
I got to know you through the Redcell channel. very Good content! In your eyes, like Koreans, there is a smart and bright eye light. We cheer you and your family. Subscribe button was pressed.😀
Or, No. 2. Keep muzzle pointed in safe direction (muzzle discipline). Add Rule for minors: Contact an adult immediately. My experience with my kids and grandkids has been exactly what Amber described at end of video. They've even taught other kids Firearm Safety with their toy guns!! Make a game out of practicing muzzle discipline and finger off trigger, etc. using toy firearms. Should be taught in every school in the country beginning in grade school. I mean, if safety is really the goal.
where trigger finger is is a very good rule except where people like Bob Munden is concerned who at one time could draw an shoot wth accuracy in 0.02 seconds look him up
Rule 1. Keep your finger off the trigger. Rule 2. Keep your fu@king finger off the trigger. Rule 3 keep your fu@king finger off the fu@king trigger. I learned this from Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch fame.
O that last point isn't just for kids lol. Very true tho. That works with lots of things too. Tell them they can smoke weed and they wont smoke it 😏 much.
Every person should be taught gun safety from birth no matter if there are firearms in the home or not. Good video, now go take care of that flesh wound. 😎 LOL!
Sweden? The r*pe capitol of the world? Switzerland where people will rob you, car-jack you in broad day light? Australia where they have gone into full-blow tyrannical Lockdown and locking up law abiding citizens? The UK where home invasions, carjackings, stabbings have all skyrocketed? "Gun control" is not about YOUR safety, it's about your governments safety from you. America has plenty of laws/regulations. But if you disarm the law-abiding people, all you are doing is strengthening the criminals who by definition do not Care about the law, and taking away someones ability to fight them back. I hope you get more educated on this matter.
@@Miasaint10 what world do you live in. They are still safer than the US their crime rates are lower than the US. The US has a high crime rate as a whole. Get your facts straight before you comment kid. You should move there and live there in those countries. I have and I for one would rather be living another country if not for my family.
@@1992pv I live in reality with statistics and facts. Law abiding citizens are not the ones committing crimes. Criminals are. And they do not care about more gun safety laws. And my right to carry a firearm does not end where your insecurities begin. We will not put ourselves at a disadvantage to make you feel more comfortable. Because when it comes to my life or somebody else's trying to do me harm, or my wife who cannot defend herself against an attacker, you bet your @ss I want an advantage. You wanting to take away your family's ability to defend themselves shows how much you care. If the country is so unsafe maybe you should move your family to one of those other countries. But keep living in your fantasy world. Hoping that a real man will protect you.
@@Miasaint10 reality The US has higher rape crimes than Sweden, the US has higher car theft crimes than Switzerland, the US has higher stabbings and home invasions than the UK Not everyone has the same level of common sense. There needs to be a base level of understanding about guns for there to be responsible gun owners. Criminals will always break crimes, so why have any laws at all right?

I found this very interesting,. thank you.
Great video! Sometimes people like to practice all the fancy stuff but tend to forget the basics.💪💪 🇬🇷🇺🇸
Good stuff. We all need constant reminders
Yes so true my 2yo has a respect for my firearms because of that exact reason 👍
Great video for anyone new to gun ownership and a good reminder to all of us! Would amend Rule 4 to “Know your Target and what lies beyond it”
LBTB was what helped me recall them, not like it was a serious task to remember them as it became common sense in daily handling practice but recalling them verbally wasn't something I had to do daily... Loaded, Barrel, Trigger, Backdrop.
Great job with Firearm safety and training
Excellent point about children!
Hey Mike! Greeting to you and Raul!!

If I made a boo boo on my finger I’d ask Amber to put a Scooby Doo bandaid on it.
Good vid. Did Mike get a Garand pointer finger there at the end lol?
Sharing with my son. Great video.
great video !
This is very good video for those who are beginners of firearms because safety is priority
Good Job.
Rules of gun safety been around for a long long time, used to be they taught hunter safety in schools, my Papaw taught me the the rules of gun safety back in 1984.
One of the beauties of the rules is that there are only four of them, and you have to break at least two of them to have something unintended happen.
All Never Keep Bees. ( How I got my kids remember)
ALL guns are always loaded.
NEVER point your weapon at anything you aren't willing to destroy
KEEP your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot.
BE aware of your surroundings and beyond.
Woah cool!

"In a safe direction" is the best thing to consider

Rule number 4... Actually you need to know what's between you, the target and beyond the target.
No that’s what she said joke in a video? Woahh
where trigger finger is is a very good rule except where people like Bob Munden is concerned who at one time could draw an shoot wth accuracy in 0.02 seconds look him up
great that he teaches his daughter firearm skills
4:49... I drop the magazine first...
