Four Simple Rules
These are the four basic rules of gun-handling. Follow them always and all of the time and no accident will ever happen. Break one, and the damage from the accident will be comparatively minimal. Break two at your own peril.
1. All guns are always loaded.
1. Always keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you are ready to make the conscious decision to fire.
1. Never point the muzzle at anything you aren't fully prepared to destroy.
1. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
I label them all "number 1" because they are all equally important.
Every "gun accident" I've ever seen or heard of has one thing in common - somebody did not follow the rules. Guns don't just "go off." It's amazing to see people realize this when I take them shooting for the first time.
