NRA Gun Safety Rules
Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction
Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot
Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use
Since a firearm should always be ready for use, I give you COL Cooper's rules.
1. A firearm is always loaded. No exceptions.
2. Never point a firearm at something you do not want to destroy. (Remember, bullets come with lawyers attached)
3. Keep you bugger hook off the bang switch until you want to shoot.
4. Be aware of your target and what is behind it. (Bullets will keep moving until they hit something, like the day care center or your neighbors house.)
