Remember the good old days when most of our fathers were avid hunters with many of them veterans of war and the vast majority of us were taught proper "Firearms Safety" at a young age cause just about everyones home had firearms of some sort in them?..and wether it be at home with dear old dad when we got our first Daisey BB gun?..or Boy Scouts..or Military..or at the local NRA Range?..even in some schools..we learned..
Rules and mindset
Gun safety training seeks to instill a certain mindset and appropriate habits by following specific rules. The mindset is that firearms are inherently dangerous and must always be handled with care. Handlers are taught to treat firearms with respect for their destructive capabilities, and strongly discouraged from playing or toying with firearms, a common cause of accidents.
The rules of gun safety follow from this mindset. There are many variations, and one of them is the Four Rules introduced by Colonel Jeff Cooper, which are:
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.Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
