If only someone on INGO had warned us about playing with guns in the bathroom. If only.
He was in the bathroom coon fingering his gun. Weird.

It would have been okay if he was cleaning the gun, right? We can forget the four rules then, right? Right?It just keeps happening: Police: Accidental shooting at South Towne Expo Center during gun show | KUTV
The Four Rules are life. Golly, it's like I know what I am talking about or something.

It's better to leave in the holster when you can, but sometimes for some people, that's not a viable option (regardless of what Kirk believes).
If you do choose to unholster and then reholster (whether for bathroom duties or otherwise), there are some simple concepts to apply that will prevent both a negligent discharge and the ensuing injury and property damage. Simple things like not pointing the muzzle at stuff you don't want to shoot, keeping your finger and everything else out of the trigger guard, use a properly designed and constructed holster, etc. I know I'm preaching to the crowd, but there are certainly people reading this who could use the reminder (including me).
I just get the impression that too many people think that compulsively adhering to safety protocols is merely slavish devotion to rituals that aren't really necessary. We all need to embrace that it's not about obeying rules or whether or not you think they apply to you. It's all about not shooting stuff that not's not supposed to be shot. To reach that goal, obeying the safety rules is an integral part of the path.

I agree. I know we are fighting ODD, but embracing the Four Rules will not only help us by cutting down on the number of holes we have in our bodies, but the gun culture as a whole.
(Guns of course) as they are not really toys although we refer to them as such on occasion.

Quality post, but no rep to give.
Blue Falcon is dead on. Complacency and a failure to understand the reasoning behind and use of safety protocols is a killer, no matter what dangerous equipment we are dealing with.

I won't poop anywhere but at my house. Not only is pooping in public restrooms gross, but I prefer to poop in the nude for maximum comfort and there was this one time when I first pooped and wiped alone out in public at school when I somehow got crap on the back flap of my older brother's old shirt I was wearing that was too big and had to tuck it in super tight for the rest of the day at school. Now I only poop at home and in the nude.
