"If you can't follow simple rules, why should you have a gun?"
That's so... logical...
Yes, so logical. But also so Swiss. I mean, I usually don't cross the street at a red light because I know I would probably feel bad about it ;-)
Technically we have similar policies. Commit a felony and you can’t own a gun. Problem is, there are plenty of misdemeanors that you can commit which should disqualify a person from owning a firearm.
@@RevanLaughs but it seems to me that this is not enforced.
It starts with the purchase, as far as I know, there are states where you can buy a gun with just your drivers license.
But all the effort might be futile by the many unregistered firearms present in the states
Yes and no, i mean a traffic violation or possession of soft drugs(For own use) shouldn't equal having your guns taken away.
Also, there is a backside to all of these guns.
As gun related suicide's are unfortunately higher than the rest of EU.
@@Orcawhale1 You just named two reasons for which gun must be taken away.
In case you are wondering what the 4 rules are:
-Always treat a gun as if it's loaded.
-Never point your gun at something you don't wanna shoot.
-Don't hold your finger on the trigger as long as you are not aiming for your specific target.
-Always be aware of your target!
That's what they tell everyone in the military.
America is great...I love America but it is not a country ,it is a corporate,,it works differently .For example we have the 8 richest and biggest ammunition factories of the world ,we supply ammunition,and we show gun culture and glamorize it in videos,movies and in all sort of children's entertainment with the message of compete,bring your competitor down,no mercy and we have been showing it in our foreign policy ,we are not a country but a big corporate.
That's what they tell anyone handling a gun
*always be aware of your target and what is beyond it

“You learned from a mistake, and made an improvement in the law, that’s so Europe” 😂😂😂 That was my original comment so calm down everyone honestly
No ww3! They do learn from the mistake.
Well, just because WW3 hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it's not going to, eventually we will have another large conflict. Hell, we have to invade britain after brexit hits and force them back into the fold. 😜

Aye, as a kid in Switzerland they literally told me about jaywalking, that if I grow up to be a jaywalker, another kid could see and imitate my behaviour, and I'd be responsible for the downfall of society in steps.
Whenever I was about to do something bad or criminal as a youngster, this one lesson held me off. Because I understood what the meaning of it was. If not for me, even If I don't care about myself and do silly things, I should at least do it for the sake of humanity and society as I am a small piece of that, what contributes through every action to the world we live.
damn dude, inspiring text. We are far too egoistic as human being but we shouldn't be. It's in our nature to live in communities, with other people yet it seems like we have far driven away from that in the past 3 centuries
@@Dadendrangg Basten, Thank you for your reply, I fully agree.
Interesting I am Norwegian but we are kind of different in the socializing. I think you Swiss are more into following rules than us. We are a bit more anarchist. But Norway is still a very peaceful place, but that is because there is a lot of emphasis from young age in Norway to learn how to compromise, do conflict resolution. But this goes all the way back to Viking times. Viking era Norway was very violent and there was no central power to keep order. No police or anything like that. To keep the peace people had to learn how to do conflict resolution and find compromises.
This I find is the biggest difference for me when in the US. In the US I feel like the attitude is always "my way or the high way!" Stand your ground and take no shit from anybody seems to be the ethos. When you got people armed to the teeth that is kind of a receipt for disaster.

That's why people like Trump call Europe anti-American cause they're opposite to and better than us. All we Americans do is create problems. We run a close 2nd to Britain in most hated country in the world. All the violence and conflicts ongoing in the world today are the result of Britain and USA.
@@ReyBeats It has to do with attitudes. When I was a kid I started shooting for sport. I was also taught to respectbrules, life and people. If we got mad we yelled but we did not use violence.
I raised my family around guns without issues. Now all I see are people who demand their own way, have no respect for laws or people and no problem being violent. I have a .357 mag I have had for thirty years......it has never shot a human being.
I come from a Swiss family and I'd say, well, its just a different culture and context is everything in this debate. America has too many crazies and too much violence. With the prevalence of guns, its a toxic combination.
After X shooting (so many I've lost track) I remember Obama saying "America doesn't have a monopoly on crazy people." And the gathered press laughed, until they saw he was serious, and he reiterated that other countries have mentally ill people, but America is the only place in the world these things happen.
well america pretty much stopped having asylums since kennedy so they just out here
As i was in service, I was with full package, weapon and helmet on sunday evening on the mainstation, waiting for the train. Half of the travellers on this daytime were, like me, on the way to the military education or repetition course.

@@Alystas Germany literally walked right through. Switzerland was neutral. Didn't care who crossed borders pretty much. Germany did make plans, and it would have been quicker a capture than even France, Netherlands and Poland were. Swiss ain't all that. A few million people in mountains not named Afghanistan is all it is.
@@Destin65 That's why the Swiss army took down both Allied and Nazis aircrafts crossing their borders? Just wondering..
Well, Swiss here. We have something called "Jungschützenkurs", in english course for young shooters. You can participate at the age of 14, and they train you how to shoot and take care of a standard swiss army rifle (sig sauer p550). And I'm 16 now, participated in it and when I see Americans and how amateur they act with guns, I see why there are so many shootings in America.
The instructor made an amazing statement, when Michael asked about misdemeanor offenses and gun permits. If you can't follow simple rules of society, how can you be expected to be responsible for guns.
That's a no-sell in "Murica!
Looking around and seeing they type of governing in other countries, I realize that me being born in Switzerland is a huge privilege
As a Hungarian, I couldn't agree more than I do, even if I tried. My dream is to once live there.
True. Me too, I am fully aware of this privilege.
2nd best country for sure 🇺🇸
@Mark Simpson How do you know thats the only point of pride for swiss people?
They probably have more culture than all of the US, they can be proud of that. Nevermind the pride for having a working state
Spain is even better, it's almost impossible to have a gun here. It's so strict, that barely you can have a pistol or a hunting rifle, and even so you need two safes, one for ammo and one for the gun. The police can needs to be aware of everything you do. So no guns, no mass shooting possibilities.
As an American who has lived in Switzerland for the past 15 years I can tell you the difference is violence in American culture. It is just absent here. I have seen men arguing loudly on a few occasions to the degree I expected a fight to ensue, but no, being Swiss one of them eventually gets fed up with the yelling and throws their arms into the air with frustration and walks away. America is just violent in nature and quite stupid in general, which is a volatile mix.

When I bought my firearm, I had to go through a full background check and could not pick it up for about a week. I don't know why people keep saying you can just go to some store, drop money and walk out with a gun. If people can do that in some states or areas, that NEEDS to change ASAP! I just have never heard any of my friends being able to do that as well, so I would like to know who and how people are able to acquire guns that fast?
Pennsylvania you can do it. Any long gun, shotgun/rifle, you can buy in a private sale, (between citizens, not a store) without a background check and immediately take possession. This does not apply to handguns though. They still require a background check at an FFL to be a legal sale.
I worked at a range/shop in Kentucky. I've seen background checks come back in as little as five minutes. But that's the key, THE BACKGROUND CHECK. Don't see why you can't have a gun if you're cleared... Here's a doozy for ya: I sold a pistol AND an AR to a blind guy. Yup. It took me a moment to process (in my head).
@@everythingisaworkinprogres5729 And you call yourself a responsbile gun owner? In what world is that a responsbile thing to do...
@@Orcawhale1 perhaps you could do a little research (or sounds like a lot in your case) before you go on about someone... Do you really think I could have sold the firearms if it wasn't legal?
@@everythingisaworkinprogres5729 private sale is legal in many states, but makes up less than 1% for all firearms transactions. Thats not what the video is saying. They are making the case, as many of the comments for this video also suggest, thats for a large amount of the US where little or no check is done. Which is just false, especially considering that most gun crimes are committed with illegally obtained firearms. And the ones that do obtain them through legal mean usually pass a background check.
Sounds like to me that they have a society of people that have some sense. And respect for laws and each other.
In the city of Zurich there is an old tradition where boys and girls of the ages of 13 to 17 compete in a shooting competition using the Swiss Army assault rifle (in single-shot mode).
While I never competed, I know that gun safety as Thor here tries to explain is taught before the shooting starts, so these young people know how to handle a gun at this young age.
It's not fear we want, it's respect. These things can easily kill, and that's what we're taught.
The rules of handling a gun are:
1. Always treat a weapon as if it were loaded and the safety off.
2. Never point the weapon at anything you don't want to kill.
3. The finger stays away from the trigger until the weapon is pointing at the intended target.
4. Be sure what you're about to shoot: Be sure that nothing is behind your target, hidden by it but still in the line of fire.
Follow those 4 simple rules, which can also be boiled down to the term "common sense", and no accidents can possibly happen.
This comment has gotta go on top :) Thank you for writing!
Thank you, sir.
Nice way to explain Knabenschiessen in english and the four rule i like ure translation of "seines Zieles sicher sein"... till 19 i was a so called "jungschütze" (its a programm where u learn to shoot with the swiss military rifle), and my brother as our teacher used to repeat those rules every single saturday multiple times
People here treat gun culture like they treat sports. Common sense tends to go out the window.
You forgot rule #5: always buy a Sig Sauer ;)
I am neither an American nor a Swiss, but just
In my opinion, the weapon in the USA working like tool of personal freedom.
In Switzerland, the weapon is a tool of loyalty and duty to defend its homeland.
It's cuz they are all white and their government doesn't pit them against each other, the government here does it so much now the police are even shooting white people
@@juliangomez-fuentes869 not really Switzerland has one of the most diverse groups of people, from Africa Arab and Eastern and southern Europe.
@@jdd5886 hard to get current info but 24% are foriegers and looks like half of that is white Europeans, so not even close to US.
But it's not just the diversity, our government uses the diversity to kedp us fighting with each other to keep us distracted. Look at the Twitter of Republicans vs Democrats same gibberish for years that's why they keep 2 parties. keep everyone arguing and shooting each other and we don't notice the top 1% gain 21 Trillion the last 30 yrs, while bottom 50% loses 1 trillion during that time. Finally figured out why we have a problem others don't. we have more diversity and our government uses it to divide.
Julian Duran what are you talking about?
@@randonlando418 He's one of those "both sides are equally bad, I hate the entire concept of government" people, who thinks racists are somehow being brainwashed by the government, instead of just being shitty people who are enabled by his own rhetoric.
This is the real reason Switzerland is always neutral in wars, they're too OP to join either side
So OP they have won exactly 1 gold medal and 1 silver medal in olympic shooting. While the United States this olympics alone won 3 gold medals 2 silver and a bronze.
So just to clarify in one olympics the USA won more medals than Switzerland has won in history.

Switzerland has culture and education and respect to other nations, you can’t compare it with USA.
@Soso Mama Actually about 25% of the people living in Switzerland aren't citizens and many of the citizens have foreign roots. So there is definitely diversity. Switzerland is similar to the U.S. in a way that it is a magnet for immigrants because it promises better chances and better life quality. However I'd say the biggest difference is the education system. I've worked as a teacher in both countries and I just can't get over how many people seem to fall though the cracks and end up really uneducated and frankly I'd even call it narrow-minded. May I ask if you had the chance to visit Switzerland? Just curious... 😊
Switzerland is also tiny.... and mostly white.... now that immigration has exponentially increased so has their crime
Justin Maddox wow I guess that you have been there and visited my country very often to say such thing regarding mostly white. In Geneva only, more than 140 languages are spoken, also more than 25% of the population in Switzerland is from foreign countries...the difference is on the integration of those individuals that are willing to know the country and its culture, it is also what we are getting the refugees into, by mingle them with the population giving them jobs so the money they get from the state is not a due but more like a salary making them responsible to earn it, therefore less segregation and more mixing so they do not feel left aside or ostracized unlike the US where if you do not have a bit you are nothing to be worth knowing.
@@justinmaddox1068 What does people being white have to do with crime?! Basically you are assuming that someone from Switzerland, Russia, South Africa, Australia and the U.S. who could all be white, are somehow inherently different from a black person who could be American, Caribbean, South American, African or even Swiss? You are talking about many completely different countries, cultures and upbringings! Race doesn't tell you anything about a person and it definitely doesn't tell you anything about crime rates!
It also has a population of one medium-sized city in the US.

The NRA argues that Switzerland is proof that gun ownership doesn't automatically to firearm deaths, which is statistically true. But we really need to emphasise that Switzerland has the most educated people in the world. Where as, the USA .........
Switzerland is proof that idea can be true. America is proof that it can only happen in Switzerland.
As far as i can tell they also have the most regulated bullet laws on earth.
You're argument is, "Only educated people should have access to their Natural Rights." Sounds like you should educate yourself about your free speech, or maybe not use it.
@@RickStewart1776 The point was that their education on gun safety is a lot better than in the US. Hence why they have fewer shootings. So yeah, you can own a gun, but shit dude people should have to take a gun safety course before their allowed to own one; or at least make it more difficult to get one. Otherwise, as you can see by watching the news, you get people killing others in mass.

While I wouldn’t say that gang violence doesn’t happen, I really think you need to look into the data more. The vast majority of shootings in this country have nothing to do with gangs.

crime „didn‘t exist“. Yeah right.. I live in switzerland and I can definitely say that‘s the problem with foreigners. They think just because the average payment is one of the highest and that we have a stable economy that our country is perfect. But that doesn’t mean we don‘t have crime.

Switzerland is great, the citizens with guns can defend the country, no mass shootings, if only other countries can cooperate like this
I don’t get how people keep going on about how in most states you can get guns with no paperwork or background checks. Which states are these?
If we made buying a firearm as difficult as some states make it to register to vote then we might not have a gun problem.
boom
Or charge 100 bucks for each bullet... Somebody being shot people like "well, he must have done something, I guess." 🤣
Not doing much good here in CA, but the strict laws are so screwed up and have more to do with harassment of law abiding gun owners than crime and mass shootings which we still experience.
Registering to vote really isn't hard for most people (there are some definite exceptions though, the system could be better especially in some states).
Contrary to popular belief on the anti-gun side, purchasing a gun actually isn't that easy. It requires completion of a thorough ATF form and background check. If your background check does not come back clean or you lie on the form, your purchase is denied. Only exception is used gun sales in some states (my state required going through a dealer though, even for used guns).
OR, vote with your guns.
It's almost as if training, discipline and sensible legal regulations create a culture in which a large proportion of the people are able to own guns responsibly. Crazy how that works, isn't it?
No guns works even better.
@@TruckTaxiMoveIt That would be impossible in America. There are 103 guns for every 100 Americans. In Australia when they banned them they had 13 guns for every 100 Australians. We can however put in place universal background checks, laws to prevent domestic abusers and those with poor mental health from having guns, a federal bureau responsible for cataloging and understanding who has the guns and create a license to own a gun. Basically all the things we aren't doing now.
@@laughingjack85 there are laws that literally do all those things already. . .guess what we still have mass shootings.

@@thrawn-ys9hf No there aren't. Only 18 states require background checks for personal gun sales. Only 8 states have a gun registry. And by federal law you are required to give background checks on guns you sell as a licensed dealer only according to Printz vs United States local law enforcement are not required to enforce these laws. Only 15 states require a permit or gun license to buy a gun. And there exists no universal background check.

My first time in Switzerland, I was buying a coffee....only to look over and see a woman with a SG 550 casually slung over her shoulder. Was so weird,, but everything was so calm friendly that it was fine.
[Edit: I have since been informed that this isn't a common occurrence, and as such should not be viewed as representative of Swiss gun culture]
Reminds me of Utah.
@@russetwolf13 Utah in 1886 👍 Was good times back then I bet.
Hehe :D loved this
@@WeylandLabs no I mean, like, yesterday at the supermarket.
@@WeylandLabs though the 1880s were good times. John Browning had just started working for Winchester, that railroad thing was really taking off, we weren't a state yet but it was just around the corner. Ogden in particular was doing great in the 1880s, soon it would be the Crossroad of America, at least until the highway system started construction.
How can Switzerland have so many guns and not so many mass shootings? Because guns don't fire themselves, that's why.
And to properly use one you have to have proper training lessons. So you only should be able to use one if you can prove that. Same with driving, if us freeways were like the Autobahn death rates would drastically increase.
@@flx6807 but the accident rates of us drivers are astronomical compared to germany.... hey can even get higher?
Flx yeah half of the assholes getting proper training have PTSD, are mentally retarded or are overly emotional ‘men’. I’d prefer a school shooter that can’t aim whom I can line of sight, then point his gun up and beat him to death with the back of it. Over a tactically trained one any day, and most of this ‘training’ is common sense when shooting a gun. Don’t point it at somebody, keep it down the range, and don’t aim it unless you intend to kill with it. We in America however have too much gang violence and many mental health issues. We have to asses those issues now, because it aint the guns. It’s the people behind them.
@@Malik-hz5fg yeah, but that trained shooter wouldn't be shooting the place up in the first place because to have a gun he would have to prove he is capable to hold back from going on a killing spree
Because Switzerland doesn't border a genuinely dangerous country like the US does, has great mental health care, no real poverty and virtually 100% white people in it. That's why
Would a single one of the laws mentioned stopped a mass shooter in America?
Common sense, that's not our strong suits.

The thing is here you get arrested for everything, there are many things that aren't crimes but statutes. You can be arrested for driving without a license, which is against a statute not a crime, a crime has to have a victim. I'm sure they don't arrest as many people. Here a portion of the law enforcement budget depends on it. Probably why we have a police force and not a police service here.
It’s mentality, not only regulation. A shift in the wild west mindset.

I always love when people who have clearly never bought a gun talk about buying guns, like " I can just go to the store and buy one" umm no not exactly there bud. Gotta love the daily shows diligence when it comes to research, particularly on topics for which they have clearly no bias towards.
It showed video of a 13 year old buying a gun without background checks?
Swiss have a more homogenous culture and national identity, have strict gun laws, lower poverty rate, more affordable higher education, and less gender inequality (which is associated with less toxic masculinity). All these result in less crime, less violent crime, and less shootings.

By far the best comment here.
@@richsackett3423 The worst, exchanging logic with ideology and political rhetoric isn't safe. Switzerland has just as many corporations.

Christian Cristof Except their corporations dont run their country. Money is everything in this country. Money can give you power to influence laws. Money can give you the power to bypass the law. This country isn’t by the people for the people it’s by the elite for the elite.
People forget that the main reason why Switzerland has so many guns is because every man has to do compulsory military service and then takes his rifle home so that he has one if Switzerland is invaded and he joins the militia. But he can’t just get ammunition, and has to pass a gun safety / shooting test every few years to keep it.
And the New Zealand shooter? Did he have to get a license to purchase each of his TWO assault rifles -- the ones he used to shoot up that mosque in Christchurch?
These procedures are not the reason why there are fewer mass shootings or lower gun crime overall in Switzerland.
The Islamist terror attacks in France, carried out several years back, involved assault rifles brought to France from the Balkan countries.
The AVAILABILITY of firearms (legally or not) has NOTHING to do with the murder rate in a country. If the gun controllers' theories were correct, then Switzerland's homicide rate should be much closer to America's or Mexico's or South Africa's ...rather than Japan's.
What the hell they discriminate against wemens rights to be equal and serve in the military
This. Exactely right. There are virtually NO gun shops in this country, nowhere to buy guns & amunitions etc. Plus most people would'nt even know how to buy any of them and where to buy them. There are some guns collectors & fans like in every other country, they can use their collection guns in shooting range probably. Apart from that small number of people and variety of guns (collectors) all the guns the Swiss people have at home is their military provided assault-riffle. This goes back to the Minute-Men type of organistion of the Swiss Army to help speed up any mobilisation in case of war. There is regularly (once every 10 years maybe) some sort of case of a guys goes nuts and use is military assault-riffle to shoot at someone, but is is rare and far between. There is no gun culture as such in Switzerland. No one carrying guns in public, no one wants to, and is futhermore forbidden.
Why arnt the wemen also forced into the military and issued guns? Thought wemen want to be equal. And you have been invaded and havent seen any one take up a gun to repel your invaders.

The power of editing. Or didn't find the jokes funny.
It's called a paid actor
He was probably was told before filming that the comedian was going to act that way for the jokes. So he knew to be prepared for it.
It's probably scripted or they did multiple takes because they messed up or something
You really think they would have been able to film that, especially that piece, without ample planning and awareness from all the parties involved? The instructor knew it was a comedy piece and knew what angle they were going on. No one was being disrespected and no one was in danger. It's all an act. Don't believe everything you see on TV at face value.
It was not in the Swiss Parliament; it was in the Zug Parliament.

2. never aim at something unless you plan to shoot it.

@@ChrisAkaMastermind 5: keep your ammo in another state. Be gun safe.

But one last point: Since the new EU gun laws are in. place, it's been getting hard(er) to buy certain guns or parts (SBR, 'high capacity magazines', silencers, lasers and so on).
EDIT: This comment should be in the other thread.
mr.magic I agree, the e.u. Are trash. I really just hate governments that are too controlling. People should be left alone, I'm all for freedom
One big change in the last 50-100 yrs is that we have stopped teaching gun safety. Instead we have media portraying unsafe gun use. This clip even covers the Swiss guy telling the comedian the basic gun safety rules with automatic gunfire sound. Guess it is funny to ignore gun safety?
Exactly! Just like with the police. The media portrays them as racist pigs who look at Minorities as targets. Show me one clip of the media "Mainly leftist" showing cops doing good? Exactly. The media just shows "man killed himself with fire arm" or "Man shoots up a school". It's never "women saved by a man who drew his gun on guys cornering her".
Also the guns became more deadly and ammo became much cheaper. Ammunition was expensive as hell in the Western era and, contrary to what the movies show, many people actually never shot their guns, because it was damn too expensive.
@@CZpersi even today people never shoot their guns. I believe my safety instructor gave me the statistic that the average gun has fired only 10 rounds. 10 rounds not magazines. It's hard to calculate the value of deterrence but with that level of practice I'm not sure if the average gun owner could hit a home invader
Hunger43
A lot of us don't need the media to show that when we and our loved ones have experienced being attacked by racist police first hand. I always see people putting the "media" but they don't even begin to cover how bad it truly is. If white people only knew. And I say this as a white person who didn't really know before marrying someone of a different color and witnessing it with my own eyes. Right in front of me at least twice and then I got all the stories from my in laws that I wasn't there for. I'm not saying all cops are racist, we have some very close friends and family members who are fine officers, but it's the height of hubris to pretend it is not a very real and serious problem.
@@hunger4369 If it bleeds it leads.
And the best thing:
If everybody respects those and other rules, you've got civilization. That's an environment so safe that private gun ownership is pretty pointless...
Private gun ownership in Switzerland is not pointless, in spite of it being a very safe environment. It is not about personal protection or increasing the apparent size of your tackle, it is about protection of the State against invasion - the same reason they have mandatory conscription - a very real possibility for a tiny country like Switzerland.
@@tutekohe1361 I'm not an expert on guns in Switzerland - but the protection of the country against invasion (invasion by whom, anyway??) is done by the army who hands out guns to their active soldiers and reservists.
So the national defence is NOT a valid reason for private gun ownership.
@@notroll1279 Switzerland has been invaded before, as recently as 1719 I think was quoted in the video. During WW2, they were virtually surrounded by conflict and Invasion was a very real possibility. Self-defence against Invasion is an all pervasive doctrine and gun ownership and familiarity with weapons is a part of that concept. Personal defence and genital aggrandisement do not appear to be obvious reasons for their gun ownership laws, so what other reason do you propose for an otherwise very safe and regulated society?
@@tutekohe1361 I don't speculate about their reasons for gun ownership.
I suppose, however, that any reservist bringing his private longbow, catapult, AK 47 or Mauser to army exercises will be laughed out of the barracks - the army are surely well equipped by themselves and have the right mix of weaponry, ammo and parts for that. So "defence of the country" really can't be the reason for private gun ownership.

I just wish they didn't glaze over Nikko's 4 rules for the benefit of the gag.
@A1 Steak Mann Thank you!
Mikko*
@A1 Steak Mann pretty sure the last one is be aware of your target and what is beyond
1. Treat all firearms as if they are loaded. 4:30
2. The laser rule: Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction
3. Keep your finger straight, off the trigger, out of the trigger guard and on the frame until on target and ready to shoot.
4. Know your target and what is beyond it; you are responsible for every round. 4:47
Notice if you obey any one of these rules you will completely avoid a negligent discharge! It's a great set of rules. Always follow them. Also, if you break any one of these rules in a formal setting you are liable to be removed.
Well the 4 rules in Switzerland are more or less already mentioned by some other users but it's not only knowing them that is important, but it is to understand them. In the Swiss military we learned following rules:
1. Treat all firearms ALWAYS as if they are loaded
Meaning: each time you pick up a firearm you must do a personal security check. You check if there is a bullet in the chamber and in the magazine. You do that as well by pointing it in a safe direction.
2. Only point your firearms in the direction of a target you really want to hit
Meaning: you never ever point your firearm at someone or something you actually not attempt to really hit
3. As long the aiming sighting device is not pointed at a target your trigger finger must ALWAYS be kept straight and outside the trigger guard or on the frame
Meaning: you never walk around with your trigger finger on the trigger itself unless you are ready to shoot
4. Be sure of your target
Meaning: think first before shooting, check your targets you are responsible for every round
Not the firearm is dangerous but always the User handling it!
