bucket $3.00--sand free---- piece of mind PRICELESS
piece of mind PRICELESS
...many police departments use the bucket of sand shows, imo. that it can provide a useful function. They have officers loading, unloading, checking clear, etc.... hundreds of times a day...
Well there's some in the Midwest. Our local PD has a fire barrel used for loading/unloading; I've even seen the oncoming shift using it.This must be an east coast/west coast thing. Here in the heartland, I don't recall seeing even one 'clearing barrel' at any agency.
Wouldn't it be a whole lot easier to just check the gun to see if it is loaded? chris3
Gunsmiths commonly have one. Gun stores & pawn shops as well; some guns are a little more challenging to clear definatively, like muzzle loaders. They are handy to check function in a misbehaving arm as well.I'm a little confused...putting a bucket of sand in your house to point an unloaded gun at to pull the trigger in case the gun goes off?

Hindsight is kind of like that.
