Now that I have your attention, you can choose to go on or leave and stay away. This subject comes up a lot on INGO, usually in threads about negligent shootings. I thought I would give it a place of its own.
As many of you know, I used to be a four rules guy until I critically examined the four rules and I now believe NRA's three rules are superior because they succinctly describe observable and correctable behaviors that ensure safe gun handling.
For your reading pleasure (or agony!) I provide a link supporting my position:

Can we possibly discuss this in a civil and grown-up manner without calling each other spear carriers or other derogatory terms?
Bottom line is we all want to be safe with our firearms and we want those around us to be safe. We want to use the best methods available to teach others how to be safe as well. How we get there should be discussed openly and in a spirited fashion without people acting like they are protecting their own turf. This isn't about Colonel Jeff Cooper, Hickok45, or anyone else. It's about keeping people safe.
Please engage only if you have something constructive and on-topic to add. Thanks.
