Don't take one from this guy. This link has been around for a while, but this may be a good time for a refresher view.

Yes kids, listen to the expert! The first rule is that one always assumes that a gun is loaded, but he was dry firing the gun in a room full of kids. That guy is an idiot.
 
Oh no these threads just won't go away :-p

My guns safety classes in junior high were basically just learning how to distinguish between different types of guns eg actions, how to load and unload them, make them safe, and finally how to shoot them. My instructors were great, unlike the one in the clip. One on one instruction, you do something stupid and you're done no second chances.

Haha no kidding. That is probably the first thing I ever learned about guns when I was only like 5 or so.
