[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 2575568, member: 24583"] Woa, what an experience, had a friend whos brother was similar to Ronnie. bad deal. I started my daughter and both my grandsons out with pay attention to the end of the barrel. It does not matter if you think the gun is loaded, cocked, empty, off the gun, etc. The end of the barrel is where stuff happens. Do not be there or let anyone else be there, unless you would like to take a chance on them getting shot. I tried to emphasize on them, most likely more people (civilians) have gotten shot by "unloaded" firearms than loaded ones. If you are going to be in a position to be looking or pointed "down the barrel" be sure you are expecting to see your finger at the other end. Think about that in the back yard with your friends, at the range with others, or cleaning your guns. Like my mom said when my Dad gave me my First BB gun at age 7, "Do not shoot your eye out with that" I took that as my eye, or anyone elses eye. Guns do not kill people, the end of the barrel after someone pulls the trigger does. Point it in the direction of the target, pull trigger, it will kill. Many firearms are built different ways, but they all have a common safety. The TRIGGER. It is the same on all fire arms no matter all the other stuff, rack, slide, bolt, fork, ratchet, even on an aircraft little finger red sw on the stick after clicking a toggle switch. Pull the trigger, and stand back, stuff might happen in a milisecond. The ultimate Safety. [/QUOTE]
