Member, not Member, don't care, you exhibit or allow that level of negligence with a weapon especially one you know without any doubt is hot, you need to be called out and get an ass chewing.
I would want to be corrected on that behavior, not only unsafe, but potentially lethal. bad juju

Sorry dude, but if you are not in a real "fighting for your life" situation, there is absolutely no way in hell anyone should get swept with the muzzle of a loaded gun. I don't give a sh!t what sort of training you are doing, or how tacticool you're trying to look. That level of negligence is beyond stupid and is incredibly risky. It's a wonder nobody got shot.![]()

As for me, I've have not taken a CQB course yet. That being said I have taken very basic to moderately advanced shooting courses and depending on the level of the shooters different range rules are followed. (Some are always followed 1 - 4, however) For example, in very basic courses if someone is forward of being parallel of you a ceasefire is called. Other courses, more advanced, we ran drills that had people forward, but never less then a 45 degree angle of you. Considering this, those guys in the video should not be in this kind of a course. Just from what I can judge with my limited experience they need to work up to this level. The full responsibility, however, falls squarely on the instructor(s). He should be vetting his students before excepting their money. I would have walk away as soon as I was told to do something I thought was not safe. And what is up with a course like this not requiring body armor and a ballistic helmet?
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

Don't train advanced skills with people who have no background doing (much less teaching) those skills.
