1. I didn't know the gun was loaded?

Guns, not dangerous until someone picks them up.

3. I have next to nothing to do with guns

but the one gun safety lesson I remember from when I was a kid was that you always assume a gun is loaded and you treat it accordingly.

Seems like a pretty damn simple rule to remember.

4. Same here, raised in a gun house, always know the gun is loaded until you check that it is not.

but that logic is always lost on some "responsible" gun owners...

5. When I pick up a firearm at a gun store or show ...

I check to see if it is loaded.
