need i say what everyone who owns a gun is thinking... you treat EVERY gun as if it is loaded, and you don’t point ANY gun at anything you don’t intend to kill. PERIOD. There was no excuse for this tragedy.
What you said. It’s the first thing my father taught me.
I don't treat EVERY gun as if it were loaded. I make it a habit to check any gun that I pick up, or is handed to me to see if it's loaded. If not, then I can relax with it. If I don't know whether or not a gun is loaded, I treat it as if it is.
Every gun I own has a round in the chamber. I know they are loaded.
