Logic and reason do not respect a person's hero status or apply it so broadly as to approach infallibility.
Do so at the peril of those you instruct.
How long will it be before the next person is injured or killed with an "unloaded gun?"
Was watching the Olympics these past two weeks. Many a shooter had his shotgun like this:
Pointed right at the crowd...
Are all guns always loaded?
Maybe you should correct him?
Pointed at the crowd? Was the crowd laying on the ground? I don't see them.
How long will it be before the next person is injured or killed with an "unloaded gun?"
...or by someone who was only "cleaning" his gun at the time.
...I think the position I will take is that I'm the Kung fuiest Kung fuer there ever was.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation supports the four rules and it is also taught at Gunsite Academy.
Why does the NRA not use his rule #1?
Actually, from what I'm reading, and I'm trying to find confirmation from a source, is that Jeff Cooper himself changed his rules later in life...
But they don't teach it.The National Shooting Sports Foundation supports the four rules

But as we've read in this thread it doesn't. Go back and count the posts where INGO'ers say, "all guns are always loaded; so I check and unload it myself, then I do what I want because it's safe at that point."I don't understand why you guys are all hung up on a "rule" that isn't even a rule, but rather a statement and on top of that, a statement that isn't even true.
If the point is to get people to treat all guns as if they are always loaded, I get that. But the man himself rejected that modification.
