[atifzaka]

Please as per your experience share important things for safety

[American Lockpicker]

Double check that the chamber is empty on a Glock before pulling the trigger in order to disassemble it.

In shotguns make sure that the barrel doesn't have a smaller shell lodged in it before loading it.

Make sure you are using the correct or compatible ammo in your firearm.

Always know whats beyond your target.

Don't point at anything you don't want to destroy.

[Canik]

very useful tips as most of pakistani gun owners do exactly these sort of blunders...........

[Sturmgewehr]

for further instruction please watch the personal shooting coach on youtube.I find that gentleman very helpful when it comes to safety...

[Trajan]

ALWAYS treat ALL firearms as if they were loaded regardless of anything.

[Mig]

In double barrel shotguns, Never forget to relock or break the chamber after firing one. I have done this mistake many times and them think of it that it was very harmful. When I hit my target I forget the second barrel is also chambered. So either you make it a habit to re lock or Eject the empty cartridge so that it gets lock automatically. I made the later my habit

5 things do with a gun:

1. don't carry a gun unless it necessary
2. don't carry a gun even if its necessary (unless its a DIRE need, impressing your girl or coming back from an ATM machine aren't counted dire)
3. if you are carrying one you should not never pull it out
4. if you do pull out a gun make sure you shoot some one
5. if you do shoot some one make sure you don't stick around for the cops to come in :)

Dear Wajahat Bro,
I hope to God u dont seriously mean points 4 and 5, dont mind me saying this but its not even funny.

Dear Kamranwali

i totally agree with wajahat on point 4 and 5. In karachi when someone with a firearm in infront of you and you pull out your weapon, u MUST shoot.. if not then u will get shot... otherswise dont pull out your weapon at all... u just cant threaten someone with a firearm and then smile and leave... if a badass cutthroat is infront of you u think twice before pulling ur weapon out.. if you do you use it (for point 4)

for point 5.. honestly kamranwali will you really want to hand yourself to a policeman chances of whom being corrupt in karachi are like 95%... jokes apart he is right IF you have no choice u should injure your attacker and then run from that area.. period

[Wajahat]

Dear members, (kamran and tank)

brothers i am a very straight forward guy, unfortunately the only education i have had in life is from the streets, i take guns very seriously, i do not joke about them.

let me briefly explain the 4 and 5 :

in ancient times my father once gave me a stern lecture because i was 12 i got jumped by around 20 odd guys and them fools beat me knickers off in front of my girl friend, partly because i was young and inspired by too many movies, i took my dad's revolver to school next day and before i know it, i was suspended from school and my gf's father made it a point that i never get to see her again, i was under the impression that dad would beat the living crap out of me which he didn't (unlike his nature) instead he invited me to talk to him man to man, the only thing i remember in the whole conversation which even now echos in my head was that "Son! make it a point in your life, death before disgrace, next time you pull a gun make sure you shoot some one, otherwise you should be strong enough to fend off whatever it is that you are up against without using one", see kamran, he instilled courage and honor in me, any numskull can carry or display a gun, it takes a whole lot of man to point it at some one point blank, so close that you can see the whites of his eyes, and shoot them, if you are strong enough you would never need to have a simple fist fight over road rage or a guy hitting on your girl, ever turn in to a gun fight, the latest example is the shahzeb murder case, where these BURGER bachas could have just kicked the poor chap around but instead they acted stupidly, it takes character and valor to categorize things in life, not every fight has to result in a hail of gun fire. i am a survivor, i do not believe in displaying weapons or pulling them out randomly, the last time i used a gun was at a firing range, this was almost a year ago, i do not support Ariel firing whether pakistan beats india or its a wedding, its dangerous, dumb and disastrous, having said so, being a karachite and having weapons, it takes alot of self control to make sure that i do not indulge in to all this, we all have nosy friends, who make it their business to get you into trouble, but with guns, its all serious stuff, one mistake can cost you your life or worse some one else's. these are my principals and i have worked really hard for so many years to make sure that i do not become the person i hate.

[Wajahat]

as for point number 5, the only thing i can tell you, come to karachi, rent a place or get a house, fire your gun a couple of times, call Madadgar 15 (cops) and tell them that you had some one trying to break into your house and that you had to use a gun, you'll get to know what i am talking about! i am not a deviant nor a lunatic, i do not enjoy violence i am just a very practical ordinary decent citizen.

Cheers!

[Riz Khan]

Agreed with Wajahat Bhai, and add this to it;
My father (may Allah SWT bless his soul and give him an elevated place in Jannah) said to me after a similar incident as with Wajahat bhai. He said be vigilant of someone showing off a weapon or carrying a weapon openly BUT have utmost respect for someone not displaying it openly BECAUSE when that person pulls it out he will mean business. I used to live in Karachi (20 years ago) and had a close encounter with Karachi police (may my enemies always encounter them lol), They tried everything to blame a gun on me, and it was only my Father's connections that saved me.

I pray that we never have to use a weapon on another human being. Ameen. But if you do, Shoot to kill, or at-least seriously maim.

regards
Riz

[Riz Khan]

+1 Riz bhai!

your father (may Allah bless his soul) was a very wise man, he knew life better then we did. as for shooting some one fatally or maiming them is not difficult, having that on your conscience and living with that is.

strongly agree with that bhai hence my dua that it never comes to that :) and in sha Allah it will never.

[Riz Khan]

Wajahat bhai another thing from my fathers advice gems :)

NEVER give your gun to anyone its not a toy. BUT, if you must give your gun to someone to inspect take out the mag/bullets and hand an EMPTY gun over - then if they ask to inspect the bullets politely and gently but surely take the gun from them before handing the mag/bullets to them :)

[Riz Khan]

damn, buy saying guns are not toys i just disagreed with Brother canik's signature ;p

also thought of something about not using scratched ammo lol MAKE sure that you don't scratch it trying to carve your initials in the bullets to give them a personal touch lol

[Riz Khan]

hahaha! +1 rizzy

my friends find it highly annoying to when i recheck the gun even if they hand it back to me, my own philosophy is that even with an empty weapon "SHAITAAN" goli daal deta hay ;)

ROFL - Subhan Allah - Love that Logic - keeps you and others safe :) - Ek to Shaitaan ne jaan Azaab Kar Rakhi hai lol

[Riz Khan]

hahaha!

fortunately for blokes like u up in the motherland (UK) posessing a hand gun is illegal so ur safe any ways :D

in sha Allah soon will be in Attock, Pakistan. Definitely will be visiting Karachi cause i have to give Syed Aziz Agha (an old friend) of Kingfishers a good competition in Deep sea Fishing :)

And my licences will be ready before i land in sha Allah (that is if they are not closed lol)

[Riz Khan]

well rizzy i am not into either fishing or sea food however you are more then welcome to grace my table with your presence over dinner whenever u r in khi :)

jazaak Allah Khair - in sha Allah - and i might bring a nice fish for the table depending on the month i am there.

and sorry moderators - i think we have gone to far off topic :)

[enge.ashfaq cheema]

very nice and helpful onfo

[AMP11692]

@Wolf Hunter I cannot agree with you more.
@Wajahat Bro i agree with what you said, it is wise indeed. But dont you think sometimes display of firearms can discourage any potential danger? I am not experienced in guns and would like your opinion and anyone else who has an opinion about this.

I agree with your words, I will give my friends example which happened very recently, we are recent graduates from university, and one of my friends passed out from pma last year, 5 of us went to TOSS 2012 Islamabad which was like a month agi, 2 of friends were new to weapons and started acting like lunatics, they picked up the pistols at the stall and started dry firing them, at few times pointed straight at my head, i asked them not to do it and they said its empty, i knew it this thing and even i knew that firing pins were removed, but you never know mistakes happen, if they do it here tomorrow they can do it at some other place, and god forbid if its loaded? Heck i had to explain to them that what if someone else loads the bullet and hand it you and say its empty, you fire it at me then?.....had to give them a long lecture on gun safety
