First rule of gun ownership. Never point a gun at something you dont want destroyed. Second rule of gun ownership. Keep finger off of the trigger until ready to fire.

Seeing someone get shot is NOT funny, even if they shoot themselves.

I'm sorry but this is wrong. There's a video out there where a guy shoots himself in the head at what looks like a press conference. I nearly pissed myself laughing. THAT is how you troll people. Instead of doing it at home where it doesn't traumatize people, do it out in public in front of as many people as possible.

The NRA lists the 2 primary rules of gun safety as follows.

1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances.

2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger.

I like to use the following:

Always treat every gun as if it were loaded and never point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot (destroy just sounds dumb IMO-guns don't "destroy" things, they discharge bullets which tend to just put holes in things). Followed by, always keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target and you are READY to shoot.

The 4 safety rules are as follows, endlessly reproduced and stated in different orders/wording.

- All guns are always loaded.

- Never point the muzzle at anything you aren't willing to destroy.

- Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target and you are READY to shoot.

- Be sure of your target and what is beyond. We do not shoot at sounds or shadows.

Here's a YouTube video for those who can't read:
