• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

I know that we pretty much have a forum for everything, and we do have a safety section, but has a safety forum ever been considered? I think it would be a good idea for several reasons.

1) I just spent ten minutes replying to a thread where a member kept insisting that you need an external safety on any pistol whenyou have a child! Come on now...I hope that anyone reading this knows better. The real safety is in education and keeping control of your firearms. It's just a shame that the only members to read my rant will be the ones reviewing an already two page long thread.

2) We have many lurkers that never join. They may join and take a larger interest in firearms if they see that safety and proper handling is a major concern of ours.

3) Many of our members might not be 100% sure if something is safe or not. Why not have an area where these genuine questions can be asked?

I am sure there are many more benefits, but I just pulled those three off the top of my head. The hardest part of it is that it would have to remain serious. No jokes or arguments would have any place there. Just something to consider anyway. I'll support whatever decision y'all make. :)
 
I'd visit such a forum

I'm interested in the whole idea of safety... everything from keeping the muzzle of your rifle or handgun pointed in the right direction, to keeping your reloading bench organized (better go clean that area up today...)

Safety at the range is particularly an interest, since I see even "old timers" miss-handling guns all the time...
