[quote=P95Carry;63208]True enough Bruce, as really are they all. I still tho stick by that #2 as the ultimate saviour of life and limb as if someone did let #1 slip by them, #2 would at least limit things to red face
I had a high school teacher who was cleaning a .22 rifle after a day of shooting. He was pointing the muzzle in a "safe" direction but had failed to check the chamber. The gun discharged. The bullet struck a pill bottle on the kitchen counter, ricocheted and struck his wife in the abdomen. She didn't make it. The bottom line is this...
While you should always keep your muzzle pointed in a safe direction you should also realize that safe is a relative term.
