Why Firing Blindly Is Always a Bad Idea

In firearms training and self-defense, deliberate action beats reckless reaction. At LA Guns and Range, we teach that firing blindly is never a safe or effective strategy — and here’s why.

1. Risk to Innocent Bystanders

Without positive target identification, you risk injuring or killing innocent people. In high-stress situations, it’s critical to stay calm, identify threats, and act decisively.

2. Legal Consequences

Firing without clear justification and target verification can result in serious legal repercussions, including criminal charges and civil lawsuits.

3. Tactical Disadvantage

Blind firing reveals your position without guaranteeing a hit. It wastes ammunition and increases your vulnerability to counterattack.

4. Breaking Core Safety Rules

Fundamental gun safety requires you to know your target and what’s beyond it. Firing blindly violates this critical rule and can lead to tragic outcomes.
