NAGR's "Four Rules of Gun Safety."

[fredball]

1) all guns are always loaded
2) never let the muzzle point at anything you're not willing to destroy
3) keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on your target & your ready to fire
4) know what's in front of & behind your target at all times

I was at a range not long ago and another guy and I (no one else was there) got to chatting and handling and firing some of each other's firearms. That guy swept me with each and every gun he touched.. thankfully they were indeed unloaded but dood. I did jump out of my skin each and every time and called him on it but dood.
He was about the very worst I've ever seen end really didn't seem to have a clue. nice guy though.. I shoulda probably socked him for the sake of humanity.
Back in the old days, I didn't have near as much compa.. I woulda learned him quite severely, one way or another.
