The two groups would then be set out into the firearms world for a complete count of accidents, negigent(sic) discharges and near misses.
Only then would you be able to claim that one group of rules is “better”.
From the study, the decision to depart from Cooper rules took place. Use whatever rules you want when you shoot, but don't presume they are When you try to teach others defective safety rules, you place their lives Of all the unsafe situations that I have ever been in it was always precipitated So much for rule one ! I made up my mind to never be on an unsafe range nor hunt with unsafe shooters. As I have attempted to explain before on numerous occasions,
the study that you call for took place twenty to twenty-five years ago.
It started with the NRA having used the Cooper rules for many years,
finding that the number of NDs had not declined, the NRA began a study
to make all shooting safer.
It was loud and personal, as Col. Cooper had been and as was a member of
the NRA board. He used all of his bullying power to prevent the adoption
of the current NRA rules. He took it very personally. In his pride, he
ignored the safety of others who would be killed and injured due to his rules.
The current NRA safety rules were not adopted until the NRA board of directors
were convinced over the loud and bullying objections of Col. Cooper.

by a P.O.S.T. Instructor. They would wheel around and sweep everyone behind them.
When called on the issue of safety, the response was always "the gun is unloaded"
And I attempted to explain to you that a study in the number of ND had to be accounted for in both groups.
This will be the second time I had asked you for this study that took place. Can you site a link to this?
As far as the bullying tactics of Col. Cooper, he wasn’t bullying anyone. That was his natural demenor even if you asked him what time it was.
