I agree the broken open gun is safe but still, I never point or like to have pointed at me gun barrels.
I once shot a round of skeet at a range where the other shooters were a group of dicks who showed up with one gun for four guys. You could tell none of them had much experience, and the fact that they were more focused on 'having a good time' than shooting made me very nervous. Especially as the gun (a pump) was pointing all over as they handed it to each other and joked around. I stood far away and afterwards told the skeet-thrower guy who worked there he shoulda told them to watch it.
