      Yeah, i mean, the two things you mostly NEED to know are "do not EVER have your finger inside the trigger guard unless you plan to shoot the thing" and "do not EVER point a firearm at anything you do not intend to hurt real bad". Oh, and "know whether the safety is on or off".

      I mean, if you need to use it, yes, you should know how to deactivate the safety if the gun has one. (Revolvers don't with two exceptions you're exceedingly unlikely to encounter at random, for instance.)

      But the four rules of gun safety are: 1. All guns are always loaded. 2. Keep your damn finger off the damn trigger. 3. Never point a gun at anything you are not willing to kill or destroy. 4. Always be aware of your target and what is behind it.

      You could argue that 1) and 2) boil down to being the same rule in practice, as do 3) and 4) Like they're restatements of the same principle, like the first two rules of Fight Club

      Replying to @arthur_affect @sapphixy and

      There's some controversy over the fact that the "first rule of gun safety" is "the gun is always loaded", like it's not actually literally true but it's phrased in a way to make sure newbies understand the appropriate amount of fear

      I mean it is true that it's not possible to, say, disassemble a Glock without pulling the trigger so the striker is no longer in firing position If you literally believed there was a round in the chamber, then you simply could not disassemble it

      But the point is to emphasize that even though you are intentionally pulling the trigger with the understanding the gun isn't loaded because you just unloaded it yourself and cleared the chamber, you still point the gun in a safe direction and pull the trigger braced to fire

      Yup. I once had a gun I knew I'd cleared make a bang when I pulled the trigger. I found a spent casing nearby but never found a bullet hole, and it was in a place where it would have been easy to find one. We never did figure out what happened.

      I was on a film set once where people were jokingly messing around with the prop guns and we all knew this was a gun-free shoot - no working firearms, a promise made in writing to the actors and the insurance company The one real pro actor still clucked in disapproval

      "A gun is a gun is a gun, man I've been in all kinds of fights, had all kinds of injuries I fucked up and shot my fingertip off with a blank round once and it is an entirely different level of pain That happens to you, you stop thinking it's funny"

          (It was kind of a humblebrag since honestly none of us other actors were ever likely to be in a position to fire blanks in a movie or even be in the kind of movie that could afford the insurance to have blanks fired in it)

          There was an actor who died by discharging a blank into his temple. What they don't tell you is that blanks may not have a bullet in them, they have to pack in WAY more gunpowder to get the guns to cycle. And that expanding gas is hot and generates a LOT of pressure.

          In movies made now, they often won't even bother with blanks, they'll dub in the sounds and use VFX to create muzzle flashes. But it's why in movies before that became more cost effective the recoil on a .50AE Desert Eagle is like a .22LR target pistol.
