Never let the muzzle point at anything you are not willing to destroy

Yup. My dad was a small town doctor. When he was teaching me how to use my .22 rifle, he took me to the hospital and showed me a guy's gun shot wound. Never forgot that lesson. (Probably a .38)

My dad took me to the hospital and into the emergency room one night to watch him stitch up a guy whose scalp had been ripped half off in a drunk driving accident.

I don’t recall how old I was, but I was pretty young.

It does have an educative effect. From that point on, I had a pretty solid practical understanding when watching cowboy and Indian shows of how scalping worked. These are invaluable life lessons.
