Then put a bottle cap on the floor and aim at that. Whatever floats your boat or powers your M3.
I hope you don't live in a condo.
You never ever want to point a gun at anything that could be a risk if it discharges.
Sure you can bang out a full "clip" worth at the floor first, but I still don't believe in pointing guns randomly around.
I know its a magazine...I still use clip.
Nothing wrong with dry firing as exercise as long as the gun is cleared first. Personally I like to have no ammo in the area just to be on the safe side. I often dry-fire at the TV as practice.

Same. But I still assume a bullet is going to leave the barrel and aim at something that I'm OK if it's destroyed and what's beyond it.
Not criticizing, but that's one of the rules I never break. Even though I know there is no bullet in there. Even though I know it's OK, I don't let the barrel point at something I don't want destroyed especially if I pull the trigger or put my finger on it. Just something I grew up with and good safety. If my finger goes into the guard, it's pointed in a safe direction including whatever part of the house the imaginary bullet would be going to.

I edited it once. Not sure why you think I edited one post 3 times.
Dry firing is not for economics, dry firing is an important part of firearms fundamentals. Since you're too 'alpha' to see anything beyond your own blind ignorance, feel free to alpha along somewhere else where your idiocracy will be appreciated.
Edit: Don't dry-fire rimfire firearms though, that will destroy the firing mechanism. Dry firing is only for centerfire cartridge firearms.
QFT.
IMHO dry firing doesn't solve the 'flinch' problem if you have it.
You know your loaded or unloaded...
I never had a problem with flinching though, I didn't grow up in this new generation though.
If you are still flinching after going through 200+ rounds at the range, maybe gun ownership is not wrong for you.
LOL at alphamyst. Dry firing is a good way to learn when the trigger breaks, when it resets and it doesn't cost a damn thing.
200 rounds isn't even getting started
Dry firing is great to learn the trigger
Yeah, u mad.
As long as you aren't aiming haphazardly, sure.
Again, it's a cost issue, if money is no object then I am sure dry-firing would be laughed at. Also I am sure most are not really dry-firing. I don't know of anyone I know that can honestly say they are taking each shot like they are at the range. Especially if you are just shooting things in your living room while watching The Simpsons.
When my dad was young and in the army as a marksman, if he wanted ammo to shoot; they gave it to him.

What a brain-dead post.
Dry firing has little or nothing to do with cost - it has to do with the ability to practice much more often, at home. I could afford to go to the range every day if I wanted to but have neither the time nor the inclination to do so.
The best way to diagnose flinching is to have a buddy load several snap caps at random points in a magazine. Pay attention to what you're doing each time you pull the trigger. if the gun moves when you hit one of the snap caps, you're flinching.
Dry firing is great for smoothing out an action, building muscle memory, and mastering a trigger. It's an essential part of training IMO.
no you cannot.
However; dry-firing is more about the soldiers now.
It doesn't break basic gun rules that you don't point a gun where you don't want to shoot.
If you really could afford the ammo, you'd be at a range. It's not really a time-saver.
There are apparently a lot of folks posting which outline why people want guns banned.
Even those bragging how they have weapons that can take down body armor.
