Beginner fishermen have been known to point thier gun at other people but after a scolding, they stop or they are no longer invited.

I always treat the gun as if it could fire randomly at anytime. I do not see any other way to safely deal with a loaded gun. Relying on a safety is risky. In other words, treating the gun as if it is somehow it is impossible to shoot as long as the safety is on.
How about we have a poll to see if Gerald Perry is being a self righteous D*ck pounding on some guys for an incident he has no personal or direct knowledge of?

Dude, give it a rest already!! If your speargun senselessly went off for no reason as much as your mouth, everyone near you would have sucking chest wounds.

How is pounding on these young men helping anyone??? Do you think your narcissistic rants will assist them in understanding the mistakes made better than the event itself.

F-ing Monday morning quarterbacks....... you gotta love it.
