#5: You are financially responsible for whatever happens once the bullet leaves the barrel.
pravetz
Rule 6: move to a country with a sensible gun policy. Like anywhere except America.
benicetoyourparents
Rule 7. Double tap.
powerrangerpl
Rule 5: Don't buy a gun.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
"Know your target".. dammit, I hate social interaction!
cyan0t1c
Don't shoot people in the dick. That's just messed up, bro.
thisismyusernamepleaseloveme
No, know what lies between you and your target and beyond it.
notanotherusernamequestionplease
rule 0: don't own a gun
Residentsmartass
My ex argued with me in the store when we were discussing rule 1. She didn't get a gun that day.
PrincePlatypus
Good. She didn't deserve one that day.
CapitalNick
Jesus. Why do people argue about that all the time? "But if I KNOW it's unloaded, why can't I point it at someone?" REALLY?? You're serious?
RichardHughes
I once had a friend look down the barrel of a shotgun to check the quality. It was unloaded and had a chain through it, but still!
kutku
You do that to check for corrosion and such before a purchase.

Stay alive: safety off, hammer back and one in the chamber.
sammysixshooter
We have 7 firearm rules
Gemini4Dignity
Double rack the slide and finger bang the bullet hole for maximum safety before you decide to dry fired.

Is that Army or Marines?
ODST16
Never heard this dumbshit line once until I got out. Only heard morons trying to look cool say it.
KozakyOfTheDankWorld
I used to load my gun and point it at myself and pull the trigger. great way to scare friends. Firing pin was always removed before handlin
frankletank
Been shooting since I was 5, did 7.5 years in the Infantry and I think that has to be one of the dumbest fucking things I've ever heard
KozakyOfTheDankWorld
I won't argue with you there. Not everyone is as sane as you are.
Sonicdahedgie
I wish this was taught to kids. I rewatched Static Shock, and they taught kids to basically "run away and freak out" if there's a gun
radman2014
4) keep your weapon on safe until you are ready to fire Unofficial 5th rule) know your target and what lies beyond it.
PrincePlatypus
Agree!
west2aw5772
Keep your weapon on safe until you intend to fire
p4th0g3n
Nope
crimsonslate
This isn't a rule. Half my guns don't have safe toggles
west2aw5772
The glock 19 I carry doesn't either, this rule is just drilled into my head from the Marine Corps
Reidsworth
rules 2 and 3 do not apply in combat
CarBENbased
How so? It seems to me that in combat they still apply. You point at things you're willing to destroy, and you're always ready to fire.
Reidsworth
If you are always ready to fire your finger is on the trigger
CarBENbased
Precisely, rule still applies/is satisfied.
PhailRaptor
This should be required training somewhere during K12. Probably more than once.
OmenRider
Thankfully the Boy Scouts gave my brother and I basic firearms training; the very idea of pointing a gun at a non-target is alien to us.
Goose1981
As an Australian, i'm thankful i never had to learn these.. or practice what to do when someone was shooting up my school.
Bbbrrr000ccckkk1
It's ok you don't need guns. In your country you can just lock people outside and eventually some bug or snake will happen by & do the job.
CarBENbased
You've never had to learn these yet. Can you guarantee that you won't ever need to know them? Pray that remains true, I'd rather be prepared
Goose1981
Can definitely guarantee i won't need to learn what do to when someone is at my school going from class-to-class gunning down my friends.
Goose1981
Gun safety in general though? Thankfully will never need to learn these as a child (since i'm no longer one).

RULE 5: Never bring a gun to a knife fight.... Wait that doesn't sound right
panicdemic
bring an octopus to a knife fight, confuse them, then win or escape
superkuper
RULE 5: ALWAYS bring a gun to a knife fight.
secondtrumpet
Rule 6: ALWAYS bring a knife to a knife fight too.

Treat Never Keep Keep Know*
apsck12
Know your target is kind of an unnoficial rule (at least when I learned it in the military) but yes still important to always remember
onkelginger
or be like denmark and make it harder to own a fucking gun
CarBENbased
If you outlaw firearms, only outlaws will have them.
onkelginger
I never said that firearms should be outlawed I just said that it should be harder to own one
twsx
Golden rule: Don't have a gun if you don't need one.
CarBENbased
Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
bluetractor
If you have a misfire, keep your barrel pointing downrange for at least 20 seconds before attempting to investigate the issue
lysani
To add on to that... NEVER resume firing until you've cleared the firearm and checked the barrel for obstructions.
crimsonslate
Very important rule. They had a blown up M16 hanging on the wall at one of the ranges i qual'd at, someone didn't do this and lost a hand.
JerfyMcGriddles
Shouldn't Rule 4 - knowing your target and what's behind it - come before Rule 3, which implies moving your finger over the trigger?
baconsmellsreallygood
Its missing "keep your weapon on safe till you intend to fire"
CarBENbased
Not all firearms have a safe.
superkuper
Order doesn't matter, it's all 4 or nothing.
Mcmcman
I don't know if these are in any particular order
JerfyMcGriddles
Well they are numerical, so

Never play Russian roulette with a semi auto
Wazzamaniac
I saw somewhere that two kids tried that, the survivor was tried for murder
howdoesoneacquire
Why not? That way, everybody wins!
zenoshogun
No the rule is, if you play Russian roulette with a semi auto never go first.
NeoAnonymous
Didn't Cobain play a version of that?
SomeSortaPsycho
no there was a guy in another band who had a reputation for playing Russian roulette and one day stuck a semi-auto to his head and everyone>
SomeSortaPsycho
was like don't do it and he was like relax its not loaded, then he pulled the trigger and blew his brains out
LonelyBrannigan
I remember it being a shotgun
ChuckNorrisAteMySock
Yeah, you could say he had a certain Heming-way of doing things.
coolbigandy
there is a revolver shotgun http://modernfirearms.net/shotgun/rus/mts-255-e.html
NeoAnonymous
Exactly, a version of Russian roulette
superkuper
I know I'm tearing into a joke on top of another joke here, but it actually WAS a semi-auto shotgun
charliegrs
Pretty old school shotgun huh?
superkuper
Yeah, it was a Browning A5, first produced in 1905 but it's technically still in production. No clue how old the one he used was though.
LonelyBrannigan
Well, fair enough then :p
