AD is the polite and incorrect way of saying ND. I know and have recently had one. Thank god nobody was hurt due to my NEGLIGENCE. Safety is the most important part of our sport. It doesn't mater if you can hit the 10X if you don't do it safely. Just my humble opinion.Originally Posted by FortySecondWarrior

Yup, safety is non-negotiable. The good news is that the rules and procedures are pretty basic and straight forward. What seems to be the tough part sometimes is that we need to do all the right things the right way, every single time.

No human made object is by itself dangerous. Only the user of it is. If someone wants to cause serious or even fatal injuries to someone, he does not necessarily need a handgun. He could use even an ordinary pen! Yes, a pen!
I wish most of the people I know could understand this. Ok, I know what is the primary reason of guns but again, by themselves, there is nothing they can do. And, even an unloaded gun can cause harm if someone wants. Imagine a Desert Eagle straight to your head! (joking)
Guns do NOT kill! People Do!

Firearms safety rule #1: Always assume the gun is loaded.
Nagin Makes a Bad Point
(sorry... pic too big to post directly, but, trust me, you safety instructors don't want to miss this gem!)
And the rule properly state is: "All guns are always loaded." It's a small point, but that's the way Jeff Cooper taught it, and that's the way they still teach it at Gunsite.
It's a matter of perspective and mindset. If you say, "Assume the gun is loaded", or "Treat the gun as if it's loaded", you are admitting the possibility that it may not be. And thus some lassitude may creep into your gun handling.
But in contrast, the desirable mindset is that the gun is, in fact, actually loaded. If you look at a gun and say to yourself, "That gun is loaded", you are not acknowledging any possibility that it is not.
So if you are going to handle a gun, remember that it is loaded and act accordingly.
