Every firearm that I have ever purchased new has always had this most important rule cleary stated on the first page or two of the owner's manual. Several manufacturers had the rule printed on the outside of the box. In addition, each owner's manual/box contains the words "keep out of reach of children" and/or "only use with adult supervision" or some variant.
