Line 38:
* ''[[D.Gray-man]]'' has Devit and Jasdero who are constantly pointing guns at each other. {{spoiler|Though, they are toy guns and it is how they combine to form Jasdevi, so this might be subverted.}}
* In the "Go for It! Pass it!" episode of [[Upotte!!]], the girls are participating in a live fire exercise. The targets? ''Balloons floating just above their heads.'' Granted, the girls are anthropomorphized guns and aren't all that affected by gunshots beyond minor bruising, but it's still jarring, considering all the other ways in which guns are depicted accurately.
* In ''[[Lupin III]]'', expert marksman Daisuke Jigen is almost never unarmed, and it is something of a mystery as to how he gets his guns past airport security when he flies commercially, something he does rather often. A common fan theory is that he has set up hidden checkpoints at every conceivable airport where he could travel to where he could deposit them before boarding and pick them up after arriving.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* ''[[Super Dickery]]'' provides an example: [
* ''[[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Tag & Bink: Revenge of the Clone Menace]]'' Parodied: [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Revenge_of_the_Clone_Menace.jpg on the cover], where one of the titular characters is scratching his head. ''With a deactivated [[Laser Sword|lightsaber]].''
* ''[[The Boys]]'': Butcher is confronted by a couple of street hoods. One lifts his shirt to show off the gun in his pants waistband. Butcher just reaches out and pull the gun out before either hood can react, then crushes the gun. This is rather tame for a Garth Ennis comic, frankly. Butcher could have just as easily grab the gun, then pull the trigger, blowing off this guy's nuts. And demonstrating how stupid it is to walk around with a cocked gun - in your pants!
Line 51 ⟶ 52:
* Averted for Akane and Shampoo in ''[[Desperately Seeking Ranma]]'' -- when getting training for stuntwoman positions in L.A., both go through rigorous gun safety training. And we see that they adhere to it both on the range and later when they're performing stunts for their "job interview".
* The ''[[RWBY]]'' fic ''[[Emergence]]'': Not unlike the Vale cops near the end of V1, Ruby casually points a loaded rifle at Sam and Joe with her finger on the trigger. She gets thoroughly scolded for it. It could be justified from her point of view in that with Aura, Remnans are pretty much bullet-proof, and thus wouldn't have as much need for safety practices, but still...
* Safebooru has over a hundred pages of [https://safebooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=finger_on_trigger fan art and professional art with the tag "finger on trigger",] showing that the artists did not illustrate proper [[Trigger Discipline]]. It has over three hundred pages of images with the tag "trigger discipline". (Interestingly, it has four pages of images with ''both'' tags as of early 2022.)
* Averted in the ''[[Worm]]'' [[Alternate Universe Fic]] ''[[Mauling Snarks]]'': In their roles as Wards and to qualify for carrying sidearms, Taylor and Missy both take the PRT firearms courses, which include a great deal of gun safety instruction.
<!--* ''[[Pretty Cure Heavy Metal]]'': During any of Shugo's temporary [[Face Heel Turn]]s in the second half of the first season her finger will always be on the trigger of her gun, and she will aim as though she was confused as to who she's aiming for. Thankfully, she'll only spend approximately one minute (usually; she was reckless with her gun for the entirety of episode 45) as a Heel before going through the [[Face Heel Revolving Door|revolving door]] to the Face side. As for the aforementioned episode 45... her [[Face Heel Turn]] lasted for the duration of that episode (during which she's a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] whose quarry is a Satanist), only ending when [[Heel Realization|she realizes she had recklessly endangered her own friends in chasing the Satanist]].
Line 263 ⟶ 266:
** '''Caitlyn''' is shown with her rifle held over her shoulder. Presumably, whenever she does this it's not loaded or she has safety off. However, she takes a rifle and ''holds it in one hand'' while using one of her special attacks. In real life, this is ''asking'' for a sprained or broken wrist.
** '''Miss Fortune''' uses [[Guns Akimbo]], but whenever she runs, she quickly holsters them.
** '''Tristana''' likewise always keeps her [[
** '''Gangplank''' however has a pistol in hand and has it perpetually pointed up unless he brings it down to fire or use Parrrley. He does this to signal his ship to fire on a target location with his ult, and ironically even used to shoot his own men.
* ''[[Galaxy Angel (video game)|Galaxy Angel]]'' During your first meeting with [[The Gunslinger|Forte Stollen]], she is seen demonstrating her skills with a [[Revolvers Are Just Better|Revolver]] in the [[Cool Ship|Elle Ciel]] shooting range. After, presumably, firing every bullet in the chamber she turns around and ''playfully aims'' the gun at [[The Hero|Tact]]'s face, whom naturally reacts with fear. It's quite jarring, seeing as she is, otherwise, responsible with the handling of firearms.
Line 275 ⟶ 278:
** Cassie is just as bad in ''X'', despite actually being in the military, often ignoring the [[Gun Safety| third rule of gun safety]]. She's worse in ''XI'', where she twirling guns in her intros ''as she loads them''.
** Erron Black is pretty bad at this too, but given his whole [[The Gunslinger| gunslinger shtick]], it's kind of expected.
* Lara Croft from ''[[Tomb Raider
