Rules that are verbose tend to be ignored because they can’t be under-
stood. Our shooters aren’t stupid people and can’t be treated as if they are.
There are four rules, the primary rules, that govern all conduct with fire-
arms—-at the range, at home, at the station, at the hospital, or at a shopping
mall, in training or in operational activities. Espoused by Jeff Cooper, posted
at Gunsite, and copied in every book on the subject there is——in one or another
form-—they are universally accepted and must be ingrained in the user.
Rule #1: All guns are always loaded. This is not a fantasy. There are those
who point out that the statement is untrue as written. All guns, they argue,
have to be unloaded sometimes. That presupposes that unloaded guns are
safe. That is crap.
Gun accidents are nearly always followed with the exclamation, “It was
unloaded!” It seems the empty ones are the problem. So, none are empty.
Ever. They are always handled with the respect given a loaded gun.
