The ConcealedCarry.com Firearm Safety Rules:

  1. Know the condition of your firearm and always treat it as a potentially dangerous tool.
  2. Always be attentive when handling a firearm and know where the muzzle is pointing.
  3. Keep your finger out of the trigger guard unless you are on target and prepared to fire.
  4. Identify your target, all surroundings, and be prepared for changes.

    Some of the traditional rules have irked me, and the revisions described here mostly addressed my objections. Nice work.

    However, I’m surprised the revised rules have not been posted in the podcast description here.
