JonD Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 is it me or is it just plain daft to rest a semi onyour foot , im pretty sure the only time i have ever in 16 years of shooting only ever saw a broken gun resting on a persons foot momentry lapses of concetration are one thing but he sounds a accident waiting to happen for people around him . Hi, I shoot a Semi Auto and always rest the BUTT on my food with the muzzles vertical as per the CPSA safety guidelines however it is ALWAYS checked and proven unloaded before leaving the stand. It all comes down to vigilance and being safe, when i switched to if from an O\U i made sure i knew how to load, unload,make safe and correct handling technique before i even put a cartridge into it. As for someone shooting their foot that's just bloody stupid and caused by blatant lax safety on the shooters part. Guns don't injure people on their own! Jon.
