Because you can never say ^that^ enough.



Important, at the range, always make sure that the dangerous end is always pointed towards the targets, not to the side or any other direction (which is #2). It's not uncommon for someone in a range to be holding their gun and then turn to the side or behind them to talk to someone which means that they probably just swept the muzzle past several other people at the range. That makes everyone very grumpy.

I'm no Higgins or any of our other experts. You want a firm grip on the gun when you're firing. The firm grip helps get back on target more quickly, reduces the possibility of various failures, and helps keep the spoon pointed squarely at the middle of your bowl of soup.
