Perhaps a door-to-door campaign among the unbelievers?You know those tracts that Christians pass out, leave in restaurants, etc? We need gun safety tracts (or pamphlets) that we can pass out: the 4 rules, maybe some Cooper quotes, etc...

You tell them:
"Muzzle" or "I am NOT a safe direction!" (Guess what their response is in 100% of the cases, come on guess. Ok, I'll tell you, "eet ain't low-dead" with gun shop teeth)
The proper reply is: Do know what people say when they accidentally shoot someone?

I think the Pope has said 4 rules isn't nearly enough. We need to convene a council and take a couple hundred years to develop the policy, then another couple hundred to implement.I think we need to get with the Chick Publishing people and make this happen.
If we can defame the Catholic Church in the process, we might be able to get them to do it for us.

I have a friend who is really bad about waving guns around in his home. I know they're unloaded but it really freaks me out. It's terrible safety practice and I want to say something but I really do not want to cause offense.
Is there a good way to bring this up without causing offense?
I am socially-inept too often for my own comfort so that doesn't help...
For that matter, is there a tactful way to say this in a gun store? I have seen it a lot, especially during sales at bigger stores. Cabelas' opening days were really bad for that.
This is a good guy and a long-time friend and I really do not want to hurt his feelings or embarrass him. But I think I have to say something next time I'm over if firearms are at all present. It really does freak me out. And the mentality will transfer over to the range and other folks too so it's really to his advantage to think that way.
Thank you all for the thoughts.
We used to have a neighbor like that. His garage faced ours across the alley. He was always showing off his stupid guns. I "tactfully" said, "Hey! Quit pointing that sh*t at me!" And of course, he replies that he never carries with one in the chamber. I answered that with, "I don't give a sh*t, don't point it at me!" Thankfully, we finally made him mad enough to stop speaking to us.
