When someone asks to try your expensive gun

[Alan]

There's always that moment of hesitation when someone wants to shoot your nice rifle or custom 1911. You want to be generous, but you're also calculating in your head whether they'll break it or shoot terribly and blame the gun. Usually I say yes but give a quick safety brief first. Most people are respectful, but that one time someone wasn't taught me to be more selective.

I’ll share it, but after a safety brief and a “you break it, you buy it” reminder

I usually let people try out my nicer guns, but I keep an eye on them. Most people are careful but it only takes one slip-up to make you nervous.

The hesitation is a very real thing. Really nice guns tend to draw in folks who want the experience of handling them but don't quite show them the respect they deserve. A quick safety brief usually sorts out the careless ones..

Nice gear attracts curious hands, a quick safety talk usually separates the careful from the ones you keep an eye on
