It’s hard to be as experienced with firearms as Lenny is and explain things in a way that doesn’t seem condescending.. the guy really has the personality and skills to teach

At Thanksgiving a couple years ago, we were sitting around the table discussing guns. Everyone pulled theirs out of their pocket/holster and we were looking at each others guns. My cousin went upstairs to his gun safe and brought down some pistol he'd done a bunch of work on and handed it to my father who was sitting across the table. I never saw the weapon get cleared, but my old man flagged me, my wife, my kid, my uncle...everyone on that side of the table. I trusted my cousin to not give my dad a loaded weapon and I trusted that my dad wasn't going to pull the trigger, in fact, I never saw his finger go in the trigger guard...but that didn't matter. *I* hadn't seen the weapon cleared. I reached across the table and took it away from him and carefully made sure that it was cleared while the rest of my family gave me a weird look. Dad was an Air Force veteran and had been around guns his whole life growing up on the farm. I'm a Marine Corps veteran whose been around guns my whole life. None of that matters when someone is "flagging" the shit out of half the room. I still remember reciting my 4 safety rules over and over again in boot camp 20 years ago: 1. Treat every weapon as if it is loaded 2. Never point a weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire 4. Keep the weapon on safe until you are ready to fire Those 4 rules will keep everyone safe!

Rule number one is my golden rule, and I'll repeat it ad nauseam: always treat every gun as if it's always loaded. Two, I think it's bad etiquette to point even a toy gun at somebody. Three, trigger down until you're on target. And four, I still don't like Glock safety, so I don't even chamber a round until I'm ready to rock 'n' roll. I think the odds of being assaulted and needing a firearm at the ready in the blink of an eye for self-defense are probably lower than the chances of an accidental discharge with one of those guns. I figure if l keep my eyes peeled and head out of my rectum I'll have plenty of time to charge my weapon. Worst case scenario, I'd rather be shot because I wasn't as quick on the draw than to hurt or kill somebody accidentally with an unwanted discharge.

I’m a former Pawnbroker from California and used to deal in firearms. People used to bring in loaded, and sometimes chambered firearms to pawn. Totally insane. And even on many occasions had uniformed police officers come in and asked to see a weapon and immediately point the barrel at their eye to look down just assuming they were unloaded because they were in our shop. A gun is never unloaded! Everyone should watch these videos.

As a middle age guy and first time handgun owner (Glock 19 and Glock 44), I really appreciate this video. It is educational and really drives the message home on safety.

Im 35 now, but at age 16, a dear family friend gifted me a muzzleloader, a shotgun, and a .22lr semi auto rifle. Before they were given to me, we went to the range many many times, and he taught me gun safety. During that time, while shooting clay with the shotgun, I experienced my first and hopefully last accidental discharge while reloading. A simple slip of the thumb. Fortunately, he had already taught me well, and the barrel was pointed up and away from him and myself when the gun went off. He simply told me, now you know how easily an accident can happen. He knew, that I knew. I'll never forget it, and I am super diligent about gun safety to this day. You can never be too careful.

I feel like there aren’t enough videos like this. These days.

However, seeing this video, I feel much better about doing it. It is safety first.

My dad, many years past, was cleaning his pistols, and my brother asked to hold one. He pointed at me and grinning, said "bang". Dad smacked him a good one and afterwards said tersely it was a rare opportunity to make a lasting impression on everyone in our home. Don't ever play with guns.

My brother built our gun racks in woodshop and they were in our 'family room'. Not that it would fly now, but we had an open rifle cabinet, .30-06 rifles, a Winchester, a .22, pellet, BB-guns - nobody touched a thing - we were taught that 'every gun was loaded' and to point a gun meant you intended to 'shoot\kill' whatever it was pointed at, and mostly that they were 'dangerous' and to be respected. I feel like the same lesson was taught to my family and friends by our Dad, and the other Dads.

I have firearms training classes coming up soon also. I remember a husband and his wife visiting my Dad many years ago and the husband was looking at and handling my Dad's 45 auto. The husband dropped the magazine and pointed the gun at his wife playfully. His wife got very upset and the husband said "It's not even loaded. Look." and proceeded to point the gun down at the floor and BOOM put a hole in the floor. I will always remember that anytime I handle a firearm for any reason. Appreciate you, Lenny.

Great video and refresher. I'm 35 and been into firearms for 21 years and remember hearing those 4 rules way back when I was a Boy Scout. The thing I do the most regularly with all of my firearms is handle them properly and safely to ensure they are unloaded. It's important to do this all the time.

I would go a step further and say gun education (safety and basic mechanical functions) is critical for anyone who lives in a world where guns exist. I know folks who are 100% afraid of guns. They would never choose to handle a firearm, much less shoot one. But you never know what life has in store, and if there comes a time where they encounter a firearm, I'd feel better if they could safely clear it of ammunition.

Great info Lenny this info saves just as many lives as actually using it for defense.

Lenny, I’m a new gun owner, trying to learn all I can. What an excellent video! Liked, subscribed and hit notifications. Going to look through your whole library and learn all I can from such a thorough, accomplished expert. Thank you for the content. You make us all safer!

Bravo! Best basic gun handling video out there. Simple and easy to understand. So much serious info relayed in a simple and friendly way.

Watching from the UK, my OCD loves this. Happy New Year Lenny, thank you for all the videos you make. I'd love to come by the shop one day whenever I'm in California.

1:56 I love this. First thing that's mentioned is my #1 rule: Always assume a gun is loaded. That's why you keep your finger away from the trigger when you're not shooting. People shouldn't take it personal when they're being sermoned because they're handling a firearm the wrong way.

I am a new to the gun world. I had the fortune of being taught gun safety by an old school veteran and an army brat. Drilled in my already knowing head the basic rules. Now as a member of gun range before handling anything else. I clear the chamber keep the gun in the open position and empty the mag. from the gun. With the barrel pointed down range or to the ground. Before handling or returning the gun to range I inform the next handler of the status of the gun before handing the bag off to them. I appreciate videos like this would watch them before i ever stepped in the range or handled a gun. Handling these tools is handling life and death respect the gun respect the responsibility. Keep your head and your life. Thanks Lenny.

in Canada before we can obtain a firearm, we have to take a two day course which is about 70% safety. This gentleman could easily teach the course. That's not to take away from my instructors. They were excellent. This is a great video for anybody. Gun owner, or not.

The week after I turned 21 I bought my first handgun and I was so happy to just touch it that I kept dry firing it. My advice for people is to get over that excitement of the gun before you actually carry it loaded. The first time I carried with a round in the chamber I put on my holster and drove 10 minutes to a gas station and bought a snack and a drink and I was extremely nervous driving and walking because I was new to concealed carry. Today since I developed trigger discipline I am not nervous like I used to be because I trust myself to not have a negligent discharge.

Thanks for posting this vid Lenny...bet you saved some lives buddy(hope people take the info to heart)

You'll never know how many, but be confident this video saved many lives. Excellent excellent excellent work Lenny.

Here in Portugal we don't have gun stores and even tho lots of people own guns it's nothing compared to the US and the importance it has for the country, hence my lack of experience with guns in general. Is it not safe to assume that anyone that points a gun at a person has the intent to shoot him/her? Accidents do happen, and with that in mind you'd have to be willing to shoot someone if you point the gun at them even if it's just for the fun of it. And just like you are punished for driving drunk you should also be punished for doing something like pointing a gun at someone. That dude's an idiot and idk if you had one but you should have pointed a loaded firearm at him, and make him know it's loaded. Wouldn't pull that prank anymore

This is fabulous! You are an awesome teacher, the best comprehensive explanation of handling a firearm. I had a dad who was careless which made me afraid, you make it clear and concise, well done.

Lenny my brother, You are # 1 , the bigger person with such of humbleness and wisdom of a thousand years of experience! Thank you so much for the great lessons though out all these years.

Glock...that's why a Tupperware pistol costs so much. Cover all of the payouts from accidental discharges. 100% true...I'm related to an attorney who's represented a number of those cases in which Glock counsel literally said that "this" case will just raise the cost of every Glock by .50 cents over the next 10 years and they already have a buffer for that" So they really didn't care about the 1.3M settlement out of court in that case.

Good video, but the "loaded chamber indicator" on my G30 barely moves and is not a good indicator about anything.

That's why firearm manufacturers reccomend you DONT TRUST the safety indicator. Same with the safety button / switch. Most people dont read their owners manuals so they dont know. But yeah, dont trust chamber indicators.

Anyone who doesn't want to hear reminders about safety are automatically in the "you shouldn't be handling a gun" bucket. I don't care if you've been into firearms for 3 months or 30 years, you should be grateful for safety refreshers every time, especially coming from a guy as enjoyable to listen to as Mr. Magill here.

Good for you, man. Very mature and sage advice. I hope all people can demonstrate the proper respect for the power a gun has, and the potential for things to go wrong. Safety first has never been a bad idea. Thanks for your video.

I kinda feel sorry for the guy having to apologize so many times just for trying to teach us something. Weird times we're living in. Great video.

I was at a gun store and watch a clerk walk away from a customer after handing him a gun and call to another clerk who was assisting another customer. Flabergasted!

Yep it happened he was an old guy, and I was shocked that he would walk away with the customer still looking the handgun, and the other clerk way down at the end helping another customer with scopes. It was Sportsman's Warehouse.

Nice job - very well explained, polite and yet conveying important information to keep everyone safe around firearms.

Excellent job. A lesson every inexperienced gun handler needs to learn and every experienced gun owner needs to be reminded of.

This is good fundamentals. Every bullet has a lawyer attached to it.
