Somethign I never thought I would see is in the Taurus revolver manual and hits a point I have always never understood.
Warning: Securing your firearm may inhibit access to it in a defense situation and result in injury or death.
Warning: To prevent injury or death, it is imperative that you must keep your gun unloaded, uncocked, and securely locked, with ammunition in a seperate location. In addition, take any other reasonable steps to limit the possibility of theft, accident, or suicide.
The first warning just follows good common sense and good gun handling if you want to protect yourself: keep it loaded and ready for use.
While the second one just completely baffles me as to why they would include the second warning. To me it feels like they play into both the anti gun theory of keeping it unusable, and into "guns make you shoot people/kill yourself"
