What sort of egregious handgun misinformation/myths do or have you heard?


Good news, guys!! I have finally got my new carry gun. It's a compact RIA 1911, in .45 ACP of course.I like it a lot, I shot it pretty accurately for someone who's largely unfamiliar with the 1911 platform, and knew I had to buy it before some other vermin snatch it up. Very happy with my purchase.However, the guy behind the counter (who says he was in law enforcement for over 20 years) told me "Now, remember, you shouldn't carry this thing cocked with the hammer down! That's how you have an ND!".Of course, this has long been disproved, but apparently a surprising amount of people still spout this bit of misinformation. I wonder how many other people he's told this to who simply didn't know better, because that sort of misinformation could potentially cost someone their life if you really think about it.What other bullshit have you guys heard about handguns? I'm curious. via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/3BlRy4o
