There are many rules, but always treating a firearm as it's loaded is tied for first place. Situational awareness is up there as well.
I'm not even anti-gun, but it sure would be nice to see some other pro 2A people acknowledge when someone else has done something poorly, such as used their gun as a flashlight.
That seems stupid, using a gun as a flashlight I mean. I don't know anything about that situation, but I suppose I would come to that same conclusion if I found any articles about it, or had even heard about it.
Call a spade a spade. If the cop was being an idiot, he was an idiot. I simply cannot speak to every story I hear about though.
When it comes to my own stuff, I go to a private range and the people there are serious about safety. Anyone I associate with would likely also take a gun away from an idiot as quick as I would and nobody would give two-fucks if they were a cop or not.
