Youtube never ceases to amaze me.

Sure if you want to be real safe you don't load it and do the video but if you are going to use the weapon it's going to be loaded. He does keep his fingers off the trigger while he shows it and does point the weapon in the "right" direction why showing it and even when he fires it. Note how he turnes away from the camera to fire the weapon. He never turns into the direction of the camera where the rifle can point towrds the cameraperson.

He doesn't show the safety until AFTER he fiddles with the bayo.

I think you guys are being to hard on the kid. It's his hand he wants to put it in front of the muzzle while the gun is loaded and he is holding it his choice. The BEST saftey is your FINGER! That is the only safety that will work always all other safties may fail at some point as they are "mechincal" in nature. If you leave a loaded firearm and never touch it it won't go off unless you pull that trigger. (Doesn't count if you leave it loaded and then it falls as that imples that the firearm moved) but the point is that your finger and nothing else is the ONLY safety you really have.

So does that mean people can go around putting loaded guns to their heads as long as their finger is off the trigger? You've got the one rule down, but you're forgetting the "do not point you gun at anything you do not wish to kill" part. The rules need to be used ALL at once, not just selectively.

I would say yes. His choice (folloish perhaps but his choice) if he wants to put a loaded or unloaded (no sure thing) to his head and keep his fingers off or on the trigger. It is his and only his choice. It is responsible or wise depends on how you look at it. Me personally I would not point the gun at my head.

So long as it's their own head and I'm not on the hook for their funeral expense...

I've been around guns, gun magazines, and people who read gun magazines alot more than they shoot guns and now people who watch a lot more gun videos than they shoot guns, and gun messege boards a pretty long time now.

I don't think there's much on youtube that's going to surprise me.

Oh, and to him just being a "kid," sorry, that one doesn't fly with me. If someone is given the responsibility of holding a firearm (ESPECIALLY when alone without adult supervision as seen here) then they are held to the same exact standards as everyone else. A bullet from a 16 y/o is just as deadly as one from a 60 y/o.

FWIW, it's not possible to add a flash suppressor, sound suppressor, or bayo, without violating at least one of the four rules.

Every Firearm is Always Loaded
Don't point it at anything you're unwilling do destroy
Finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you've made the decision to shoot
Know your target and what's behind it.
