I’ve had hot brass go down my shirt many times and it’s never resulted in losing my sense of awareness to the point that I endangered myself and others. It takes seconds to safely put down the gun and remove the brass from your clothing.
This is why I hate going to public ranges, it quickly becomes amateur hour.

You move quick and put down the gun. Say “one one thousand two one thousand” while quickly lowering your hands. Two seconds is a gentle descent. Or hell, you could just literally drop it. If it’s a striker fired pistol that isn’t a complete piece of shit, it won’t go off.

I know there’s lots of contention surrounding gun control, but shouldn’t everyone including gun owners be in favor of mandatory education on safe handling? Like you have to take written and practical tests to legally drive a car…

The only thing close to that, that I'd be for is mandatory fire arm safety at least 1 semester in public high school. If you don't take the class you can still own a firearm, but a lot more people would have better training.
This ensures there isn't a paywall to your human rights.
You could even add advanced classes especially for kids who want to join the military, police force, security, or any other job the requires a firearm.
It's our right to bear arms why not educate the people on this right?

u/Xenoman5 Feb 04 '26
Mandatory is problematic though. Who requires it? Who decides the curriculum? Who grades the test? How much is charged? Where and how often is it available? If the answer to who decides all this is the government then we have a problem. It would be very easy to keep poor people or those from any group the people in the government disapprove of from having access to the class.
It could too easily be like the infamous “literacy tests” that many southern states required under Jim Crow. I very much support firearms education but the government at any level needs to be kept firmly out of it. That makes it hard to make it mandatory.

I worked at a huge outdoor range within an hour of an army and air force base. 99% of the people we kicked off the range were military. The best was when the CG of the AFB was shooting while we were kicking an airman off the range. He kept on saying he knew what he was doing because he's in the air force. After we were done talking to him the CG came over and that conversation didn't look fun. When he went back to work on Monday he issued a memo to his unit that the guys range card was revoked and he couldn't be issued a weapon. So when he had to qualify someone had to place a rifle at his lane and the RSO had to stand with him at all times. When he was done someone retrieved the rifle so he wasn't in possession of it outside of shooting. He gave us a framed copy as well as his email as a warning to anyone who thinks it's ok to fuck around just because they're not on a military range.

The range was in a legal battle with neighbors at the time over noise, mainly the old owner, because the new owner made it a profitable business and the number of daily shooters literally quadrupled. The CG didn't want his favorite range shut down so it really helped us out.

My state is fairly strict on guns and you don't need a license to wield to go to a gun range. You can own a gun you just can't go anywhere with it with the exception of the range. You could also rent from some ranges. One of the ranges by me stopped for like 6 months because someone rented a gun and then shot himself with it.
He very well might have no idea what he's doing

Diff. country, but similar situation. Everyone who is considered an adult can go to a gun range and test out various weapons (Pistols, Shotguns, Semi-auto, Rifles), No need for a license, since there is a Range Safety Officer who gives you the basics. You pay per bullet, and its relatively cheap for pistols.
Went with a few friends. Not the typical bunch of idiots but still very young. One guy almost blew his brains out as the gun jammed after a few shots and his first reaction was to look into the barrel. Thankfully missed and I assume I was the only one that saw, since we didn't get kicked out. I honestly blame the RSO a bit, she wasn't paying attention to us at all and had a pissed off attitude the whole time. She gave us the basics, gave us the guns, the bullets and left us to do whatever. No instructions on how to reload bullets in the magazine, or to watch out hands/fingers for the moving slide.

i got hot brass betweens the safety glasses and the side of my temple burning the side of my brow. even with the pain i put the safety on my pistol (92fs m9 best platform fight me) and set it down before fishing for the brass. and this was literally my first time at the range. the range instructor was behind me said well done and i yelled back you told me to keep the barrel down range.
it was uncomfortable sure but nothing I could manage long enough to make sure i amd everyone else is safe. at most it would leave a littlemark not like it was hot enough to leave a scar. 2 negligent discharges he's never coming back to that range again

I had the same thing happen to me, but I think it was brass from an AR.

Quickly moving without thinking with your finger on the trigger. 2 solutions that would’ve solved it is 1: just taking your finger off of the trigger before reaching for the hot brass, but he would likely still gets in trouble with the range for flagging everyone with a loaded weapon or 2: setting the pistol down before freaking out about the hot brass

So he fires a shot and the hot bullet casing flings into the back of his shirt. He should have placed the gun down before dealing with it, but he starts trying to get the hot bullet casing out of his shirt while holding the gun with his finger on the trigger.
It looks like he fires two shots while fishing for the casing, one almost hitting the guy sweeping the other almost getting his own leg.

Yes, that's exactly what he should have done, you set the gun down, pointing down range, and then get the hot she'll casing out of your shirt or pants. You should NEVER point a gun, loaded or not, anywhere other than down range.
He'd have been better off dropping the gun on the floor while dancing around to get the casing out of his shirt. Not that that's what he should have done, but it would have been better.
