I don’t care what your credentials are, I will always treat all guns as if they are loaded all the time.

And mine are loaded all the time except during storage, cleaning, or when being reloaded.

There is nothing wrong with Rule #1.

ADs happen when people violate Rule #1.

I don’t care what your credentials are, I will always treat all guns as if they are loaded all the time.

I do as well.

But I always point it in a safe direction
and keep my finger off the trigger.

Then drop the magazine

Then I expect the chamber.

This for a Pistol.

ADs happen when people violate Rule #1.

All NDs occur when the operator puts
their finger on the trigger.

That's exactly NRA #3.

ADs happen when people violate Rule #1.

ND/AD occurs when the operator violates NRA 2. Damage/injury results if the operator violates BOTH NRA 1 and 2. Merely assuming a gun is loaded means precisely nothing unless you act accordingly per NRA 1 and 2.

If you adhere to the NRA rules, the condition of the gun is irrelevant. If you adhere to Gunsite 1, you can neither clean nor work on your gun.

The Gunsite rules are well intentioned, but the NRA rules require less equivocation.
