Do the NRA rules and Colonel Cooper's rules address the same situation? Seems to me the NRA rules apply to hunting, while the colonel's rules apply to self-defense? So to say one set is superior to the other may be misleading?

Perhaps. But both involve shooting only what you want to shoot, and I think both are more general than either just self defense or hunting. NRA "mindset" probably leans more towards hunting and target shooting, Cooper to self defense and military type situations.

Jeff's rules were developed in WWII(1941 - 1945) by Jeff for grunts and dogfaces in foxholes.
As Jeff is on the board of directors of the NRA his rules were the first rules used by the NRA.
After years of ADs & NDs the Training Department, using learning methodology developed the current rules which have been the official training rules.
The current rules have significantly reduced ADs & NDs.

NRA Safe gun handling rules

Rule 1 Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
Rule 2 Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
Rule 3 Always keep your gun unloaded until ready to use.

Jeff is not my icon for safety or combat training.

I prefer Massad Ayoob who endorses the NRA rules.

And OBTW is a better combat shooter and instructor than Jeff.
