ALWAYS. No Exceptions.<br /><br />NEVER (ever) alow th emuzzle to point at anything that you don't want holes in.<br /><br />Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target. (Alternate, unforgettalble version:"Keep you booger hook off the bangswitch until you want it to go bang.")<br /><br />Know what your target is and what is beyond it.<br /><br />Kids can remember these.
