I like the wording...
...on rule #1. I know a lot of shooters say instead "All guns are always loaded!". The only reason I can't bring myself to say that is because it simply is not a true statement. Now, don't get me wrong, I understand why they say that; they want the rule to be more...insistent...if you will. More definite. But I know for an absolute fact that as I type this message, my guns are not loaded . However, that still will not stop me from checking them when I next pick them up, as I always do, even if I put them down and walk away for only five minutes. You just never know...
Nothing replaces common sense. At least for those of us at The High Road!
