19 Jun 2017

The boys at Demolition Ranch try an experiment; What happens when you overload a 12 gauge shotgun? Now, thanks to YouTube, you can see just how this experiment does go down, without risking your own life.

Things to remember…first-off, never, ever, under any circumstance, ever try pulling a stunt like this yourself. The young man in the video is doing this in a controlled environment, meaning, he cautiously sets-up this kind of thing very carefully. And just because he is careful, it doesn’t mean that nothing bad will happen. These kind of stunts, while controlled, always have a certain danger level to them. That means, that no matter how careful you are, something could always go wrong.

Below are some rules that you should follow when handling a firearm.

Gun Safety Rules

You never fool around or play with guns. Guns are dangerous when they are not handled or used properly and can easily injure or kill you, and those around you. There are no second chances with a gun and the rules for safe gun handling must always be followed to avoid accidents.

The 12 Golden rules for Safe Gun Handling:

#1. Always treat the gun as loaded.

#2. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.

#3. Always keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

#4. Always keep the gun unloaded until you are ready to use it.

#5. Never point the gun at anything you don’t intend to destroy.

#6. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

#7. Learn the mechanical and handling characteristics of the gun you are using.

#8. Always use proper Ammunition.

#9. Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before loading and shooting.

#10. If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, hold your shooting position for several seconds; then with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, carefully unload the gun.

#11. Don’t rely on the gun’s safety to keep it from firing.

#12. Be aware of your surroundings when handling guns so you don’t trip or lose your balance and accidentally point and/or fire the gun at anyone or anything.
