Gun range customer seen on video pointing gun at self, friend while taking selfie

HOUSTON – Lesson number one when shooting at a gun range: Never, ever point a weapon at your friend's head -- or anyone's head for that matter.

Then -- for a second selfie -- he decides to point the gun at his friend's head.
