Man charged with manslaughter after target shooting death

Four Primary Rules of Firearm Safety​

1. Treat All Firearms as if They Are Loaded​

Always assume that every firearm is loaded. This mindset helps prevent accidents. When handling a gun, always check to ensure it is unloaded.

2. Never Point the Muzzle at Anything You Do Not Intend to Destroy​

Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. This means aiming away from people and objects that you do not intend to shoot. If the gun accidentally discharges, no harm will occur as long as it is pointed safely.

3. Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger Until You Are Ready to Shoot​

Do not place your finger on the trigger until your sights are aligned on the target and you are prepared to fire. This helps prevent accidental discharges.

4. Always Be Sure of Your Target and What Is Beyond It​

Before shooting, know exactly what you are aiming at and what lies beyond it. Bullets can travel far and may hit unintended targets, so ensure that the area is safe.

Zeroth rule. Don't let the government or rust take them.
Second zeroth rule. Have one.

There were still insane asylums around back then too ?
I doubt that recent school shootings are gun safety training related.

For sure. I was just making reference to the fact that exposing young people to the safe use of firearms clearly doesn’t cause the violent crap we see today. Some erroneously think that somehow scenarios such as the one presented in that photo from the 50’s are irresponsible. To the contrary, I believe that the celebration and modeling of violent, anti-social behaviors is what causes the issues we see today.
