New users that understand and know the rules may be less likely to take things for granted.Fosforos wrote:I keep thinking about how fortunate you were to point the gun in a safe direction when pulling the trigger.

Thank you for posting this. I'm a newbie to guns in general, and I need to be reminded every now and then that if folks a lot more experienced than me can have an ND, I sure could.
Of course its gonna be the folks that have been around a while who get to explain all this safety stuff in the first place.
