You are really creating an argument here from thin air. I don't know where you see that I've been insulting. I will point out that your implication that I am an unsafe shooter IS an insult. I would LOVE for you to explain how one would inspect the bore of any firearm in which you cannot see from the breech end, without placing your eyeball directly in front of the muzzle. Please. Then explain how one loads a muzzleloader or cleans any firearm that does not have a readily removable bolt without doing the same. I NEVER said the safety rules were unimportant or that they should be completely disregarded. It's beyond silly to say that I even implied it.
Are you anal retentive about where your holstered handgun points? Because not only does it point anywhere and everywhere, it's actually loaded!!! Perhaps you are the exact type of person the above Emerson quote applies to?

If this is your position, then why are you arguing with me????????????????? Did you change your mind since the 16th?I look down the bore in a gunshop, with a flashlight, to check for wear, corrosion, and leading. I look down the bore at the range if I've heard an off-sounding round, to make sure I don't have a bore obstruction.
