    Gun person, and you’re correct; incredibly reckless. For the most part, AR platform weapons are drop safe (meaning an impact will not set it off). But depending on factors such as brand, firing pin material, or cartridge primer hardness, an impact to the end of the muzzle can cause a discharge.

    Pretty unlikely, but extremely unsafe. No one with real training would do this. These are deputized dumbasses.
