Blue Guns:
I've noticed that the more I have Blue Guns (non-firing plastic replicas) around, the less I treat them with the full respect that a real firearms deserves related to the '4 Universal Safety Rules'.
When handling live firearms, the standard is to always check the chamber and magazine well (both visually and physically) before even considering to put your finger in or around the chamber. Since having blue guns so accessible, like leaving them next to my recliner, I'm becoming mentally sloppy with actual firearms. Anyone else notice this?
I have thought of several antidotes. But wanted to share and get feedback from other shooters first…
