if u dont mind ill give my 2 cents on each?!?!

1. i dont care if u just cleared and unloaded the gun, rules 2 3 and 4 still apply like your life depends on it!

2. doesnt matter if ur gun shopping or at the range. NEVER cover anyone or anything u dont wanna kill. Never ceases to amaze me the people pointing or cover employees or shoppers at gun stores. Pisses me off. Also people at the range, some people set thier guns down pointing to the left or right.... those people are idiots and should be banned from ranges. Just becuase the gun isnt in ur hands doesnt mean u shouldnt be mindful of where its pointing AT ALL TIMES.

3. never fails, gun noobies and "veterans" finger automatically goes into the trigger frame before ready to kill. finger should be straight and the finger tip should be AT LEAST touching the seam between the slide and frame, if not higher.

4. do not take the shot inless u know 100% whats behind it. this can even happen at the range. sometimes at my range i find peoples targets lining up behind mine. just realize that if this happens at the range and u take the shot, imagine that u just killed a bad guy.. but in the process took out the innocent kid 15meters behind him too. I couldnt live with that. So just get in the habbit of checking beyond the target.
ohh yes on these rules, my family and girlfriend included have stressed these points to me through the years. i don't even like a revolver that is opened pointed at me and have been very uncomfortable when other people have done the same even though its "Unloaded". i dont like them being pointed at me just like other folks would not want me to do the same. my girl is going to school me, turns out she has a glock 21 45 cal(holy crap). whatever i buy im going to take it to the range often to learn it the best i can. as my girl says dont pull it unless your gonna use it and don't point it unless you want to kill it. something like that.
