I am a member of a shooting club in the Netherlands, where the relevant laws
are more strict than in the US. I, as an instructor, always tell people NOT
to wave firearms around and point in a direction other than the target. Not
empty and most certainly not loaded. It is something that to me goes with
gun ownership for sport shooting. But in self defence I would probably think
different!!
