Which Safety Rules Were Violated?: Three workers at a Pennsylvania meat
plant go to one's car to admire the car owner's handgun. Two get shot in
the process, including the owner. The rules:
1. All firearms are always loaded
2. Never let the muzzle cross anything you're not prepared to shoot.
3. Keep your finger out of the trigger guard, up on the frame, until
your sights are on the target and you're prepared to fire.
4. Always be sure of your target and what's beyond it.
5. Maintain control of your firearm.
