The 2 Types of Gun Owners Most Likely to Shoot Themselves

About this video

Colion Noir discusses the two groups of gun owners he believes are most prone to negligent discharges: beginners and experts. He argues that beginners lack knowledge and experience, while experts become complacent through familiarity. Drawing on a friend’s close call, Colion describes his own strict home safety protocols—keeping defensive guns untouched and loaded, handling practice guns only when unloaded, and never pulling triggers inside his home to build muscle memory against complacency.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that beginners and experts are the most likely groups to have negligent discharges, while intermediate shooters remain most cautious due to fresh training and healthy fear.
• Colion teaches that experts can become dangerously complacent, operating on autopilot and losing the micro-awareness and rigor that prevent accidents.
• Colion recommends establishing strict personal protocols: designating defensive guns as untouched except for maintenance, never chambering rounds in practice guns at home, and never dry-firing indoors to prevent complacency-driven negligent discharges.
