Larry glad you shared. That was a very unfortunate incident. These days with all these gun clubs and NRA classses gun safety/handling is paramount. You know that gun rule "Treat your firearm AS IF it's loaded"? I would rather "Treat it loaded" and never have to second guess it. I ingrained that into my son at an early age AND never point at someone's head. Even when he would play with his Nerf guns. He's now 18 and takes firearm safety very seriously. No sweeping of the barrel and always keep pointed down range, finger off the trigger and know what you are shooting and beyond. When one gets complacent that's when accidents happen. Common sense is also a major factor as well. Some people just should not handle firearms.
How was it back then in the 1930s and gun safety? I am just trying to understand from a perspective of growing up with guns being used as tools. I did not grow up hunting like others. Forgive me if I come off the wrong way. Not intended.
