I recently came across this video of a guy catching hot brass down his shirt who then goes on to negligently discharge his firearm towards a range employee sweeping brass behind him TWICE! (See: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2018/04/12/double-negligent-discharges/)
Every gun forum I've ever seen preaches the four rules religiously. Most gun ranges have at least the four rules and usually twenty more. On the plus side, unintentional firearms injuries are around 17,000-18,000 a year in a country with over 300 million firearms and 100 million gun-owning households. So, clearly safety efforts are working for the most part... but what can be done, if anything, to reach more people?
