Okay, so I might be a safety geek, especially having worked in the outdoor recreation safety industry for the last eight years or so. However, as long as we always keep gun safety in the forefront of our minds, shooting and hunting will remanin two of the safest sporting activities.
As a reminder, here are the Four Rules of Firearm Safety as devised by Jeff Cooper, founder of Gunsite:
1. All guns are always loaded.
2. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
4. Always be sure of your target.
If you ALWAYS follow ALL FOUR rules, you will never have a shooting accident.
Also, don't forget your eye and ear protection... now get out there and turn show powder into noise!
