[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 4274173, member: 6281"] The three top rules and repeat them 3 times when telling him. 1. Always treat the gun as its loaded, all guns are always loaded. 2. Never point the gun at something you dont want to kill or injure. 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you address the target. Repeat these to him at least 3 times and he wont forget. It will become muscle memory in short order. These three basics will always prevent a wrongful shoot. I knew a Veteran state trooper who shot himself cleaning a .22 rifle, he violated 2 of these rules and paid for it. He lived but had a cleaning rod stuck through his gut. [/QUOTE]
