MAJOR FAIL at LGS in KY (on several levels)

The Four Basic Rules of Safe Gun Handling"

1. Treat every firearm as if it's loaded.

I was taught this at a very early age and got my ass beat the very first time I violated that rule.
I never violated it again....maybe that's a "Southern thing"..

Exactly that io=s your first and most important Weapons Safety Rule. Treat every weapon as if it were loaded. A Gun should always be cleared (racking the gun and seeing an empty chamber) when a gun is handed off and when it is received.

NF I'm with you. If I ever go into an LGS and see the clerk hand someone a gun without clearing it, I'll be leaving immediately and not coming back.
