“He forgot to follow the first rule of gun safety.
#1) Always, always, always, always, always, always assume a gun is loaded no matter how unloaded you think it is.”
Amen, brother. To be followed by rule #2) Never point a weapon at an animal or person unless your intention is to kill.
Got my safety training via a boot in the ass. Still flinch if I even come close to making a mistake.
