   Some of my gunfur friends insist on keeping the guns and ammo stored   
   separately, but a fat lot of good that gun is going to do you if some   
   idiot with a violent streak decides your property now belongs to him.   
      
   Guns are like fire. Respect their power, and respect the gun safety   
   rules that actually make sense. There's no replacement for the "Safety   
   mechanism" of keeping your finger off the trigger finger until you are   
   ready to make people die.   
      
   Also, make sure you never point a gun at anyone you don't want to die,   
   even if the chamber is open and you have checked three times that the   
   gun doesn't have a chamber loaded. Always assume a gun is loaded,   
   because a lot of gun accidents are from some idiot being an idiot and   
   the gun happens to fire because of their idiocy.   
      
   Guns don't kill people. Idiots get people killed. If a gun wasn't there   
   conveniently, the statistic would just be in something else, like a   
   kitchen fire, a gas explosion, or a slip in the bathtub.
