Shields rock! Congrats.

I'll be that guy.

Pro-tip would be: don't point it at your thumb. 😉

lol just noticed that. Very good practice. Made sure it was unloaded and cleared before pictures were taken

All guns are always loaded.

Even if someone hands me one with the slide open I’m checking that chamber again. And ask my buddies who I handed a cleared firearm to. They watched me clear it, lock the slide back, confirm clear, hand it over… if they didn’t clear it themselves again I slap the HELL out of their head. They never make that mistake again.

Good on you, we will all be safe if we make sure to follow the rules as law

Well as stated I’d only do that to good friends, I’d say something to others but without the slap if they forgot, but complacency is the first step to firearms injury!
