Sadly, it's always the people who give the words more value than the message the words convey that are the most surprised when they have an ND.
But that's sometimes how we have to teach people; we have to dumb the rules down to the lowest IQ person in attendance. Understanding the nuances of the rules is beyond them, so we force them to recite the words.
After 20 years in the AF I became vary familiar with people who know the rules by rote, yet openly disregard them in practice.
Anyone who claims they treat all guns as always loaded 100% of the time are either deceiving themselves or never clean or function check their guns. The same can be said for 'people are shot by unloaded guns' as well.
But we shouldn't discuss it, because often times civil discussions are out of reach for the people that only know the words. They usually get jobs at the gun counter of the big-box stores, mishandle the guns, and we have threads like this.
