DON'T BE THIS GUY! ! !
Handgun safety is not a joke, it is not an accident and it should not be taken lightly!
There are two basic sets of firearm saftey rules. Whether you adhere to Jeff Cooper's four Rules of Gun Safety or the NRA's three Gun Safety Rules, the need to pay attention to what one is doing is paramount. The difference between Cooper's Rules and the NRA's Rules is nominal. The point is that one must always be diligent about gun safety.
NRA GUN SAFETY RULES:
1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.

JEFF COOPER'S RULES OF GUN SAFETY:
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, and what is beyond it. (You are responsible for any bullet that leaves your gun until it stops.)
