I guarantee there was a lack of trigger discipline at play

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It's way more than just trigger discipline. There's the traditional rules of course:

  • Never point your gun at something you do not intend to kill
  • Be sure of your target and what's beyond
  • Trigger discipline

But there's also reasonable shit beyond the 5 basic rules:

  • Don't willingly put yourself in a situation where use of a gun may be warranted.
  • Property isn't worth killing over, especially in situations where you had to go out of your way to put yourself in perceived danger to protect it.
  • Don't block in the person you are trying to convince to leave.
  • People with guns commit more acts of violence than those who don't. Owning a gun is an irresponsible choice. There are more and there are less responsible gun owners, but owning a gun puts you and those around at a greater risk of violence. When all you have is a hammer ...

lists 3 rules

"beyond the 5 basic rules"

Uh

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There are 5 basic rules for guns:

  • Treat every gun as if it were loaded.
  • Always point your gun in a safe direction.
  • Never point your gun at anything you don't intend to shoot.
  • Keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot.
  • Be sure of your target and what's beyond.

What I posted was a subset of the five then alluded to the full list.
