Last night on Las Vegas (a pretty entertaining TV show if you enjoy cleavage, and let's face it, who doesn't?), James Caan (an actor for whom I once had a degree of respect) demonstrated a spiffy new way to clear an AR:
1. Grasp magazine in right hand. With right thumb, hit mag catch. Remove magazine.
2. Carefully leaving the bolt closed and avoiding the safety/selector, roll weapon over and look up the mag well (to ensure that no more magazines are hiding up there).
3. Toss weapon onto floor, where it can't hurt anyone.
4. Safe!
The really sad part is that wasn't even nearly the stupidest thing I saw about "assault weapons" on TV yesterday….
