For New Gun Owners or Carriers

I started out with a training officer who beat the following into our thick skulls...

"If at all possible, look out for yourself and keep yourself safe. If you get put out of commission you can't possibly help anybody else."

I always thought that was a good rule of thumb.
 
OldMarksman,

Thanks a million for such a great post :D
I thought I was fairly knowledgeable, but you made me rethink some of my own actions and also those of others around me. I am planning to repeat some of your info in a discussion this weekend when we all get together to shoot. I think it will make for a safer, more enjoyable time for all. Most definately, +1 for STICKY!
 
A CCW Credo... nice

this is one of the reasons i like TFL so much. in between the banter and bickering, there are so many pearls of wisdom. Such as this.
 
I am overwhelmed by the positive response to this. I had expected suggestions of additions, edits, etc.

To give credit where credit is due, the source of a lot of what is distilled in the above list was found in comments posted by people on this forum, including a number of those who have already commented.

Again, if this helps anyone, it has been worth the small effort involved.
