Hemi, just using my own experience on cases I've worked. The idea of shooting a drunk 15 year girl who stumbled into the wrong house is with me today and forever. Your house is NOT a freefire zone contrary to what the GSCs think. Identify your target.
As for the rules:
1. All guns are ALWAYS loaded;
2. Never point the muzzle at anything you are willing to destroy;
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until the sights are on target and you are willing to shoot;
4. Know your target and backstop.
The rules always apply--in the gunshop, on the square range, in a fight.
A fight is not what you want it to be, it just is. You may not fight in your house. One may have to fight on unfamiliar ground where you are uncertain of who is foe and who is friend and what they are doing, see, e.g., Diallo. Bring a light; it may be dark.
Plus, you can look cool when someone needs it (I've also heard young, nubile women like guys who carry lights around).
