you got that right! Know your "backdrop" and be aware of your surroundings. If there is a hint of doubt you shouldnt be shooting!

There is NO excuse and I dont care if I offend someone either. If my best friend wants to show me their new gun and assures me its unloaded....it still gets checked and treated as if it were, no matter how much I trust them.

Its too bad responsible gun owners once again have to feel the heat of a irresponsible act.

My Dad was a stickler for firearm safety. There were no "unloaded" guns. Ammo was stored properly. You don't need to chamber it for it to go off. I once worked on Police cruisers, some of those guys had shotshells, slugs and 9mm rounds rolling all over the floor. I'd box them up and hand them back with my best"IDIOT BOY!" look. One of the reasons that I gave up hunting was that I couldn't tolerate the casual handling of firearms of others.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

It's quite obvious how casually our VP handles firearms, don't you think?

Beer is the reason we get up each afternoon.
