Some observations from a local range this weekend

[LRRPF52]

I think one of the best things we can do is to teach from an early age. Every time I see the opportunity, where kids are running around with toy guns, I take the time to show them the basic NRA firearms safety rules.

That way they can get into the habit of behaving responsibly with firearms, and not pointing them at people unless it's an organized and safe activity agreed to by the participants.

Any time we are involved in a shooting activity, we should start with a safety briefing, read the range rules, and go over them carefully, rather than doing the guy thing where...we already know it all, can't be told.
