Rule One--All guns are always loaded.
Rule Two--Keep your finger outside of the trigger guard until you're ready to fire.
Rule Three--Never point the muzzle at anything you're not willing to destroy.
Rule Four--Be sure of your backstop, and what lay beyond it.
It ain't that hard, folks, but people, especially drunks, managed to screw it up all the time.

I was a State Licensed Youth Hunter Safety Instructor in Kansas in the 70's when I was in USAF. Kids caught on a lot quicker than their dads. I have been the safety officer in every gun/hunting club I've ever been in. Safety is so simple that when I read something like this, I say, "Murder"..

I have seen many trap houses, that have been shot.
Keeping a gun pointing down range is so important.
Many trapshooters use release triggers, and those are usually the cause.

...and Bobby Knight managed to seriously wound his hunting buddy in Northern Wisconsin.
Thus, Rule # 5: Don't go hunting w/Bobby Knight behind you.
