what are one of the rules of gun safety?
Know your target and what is beyond.
Be absolutely sure you have identified your target beyond any doubt. Equally important, be aware of the area beyond your target. This means observing your prospective area of fire before you shoot. Never fire in a direction in which there are people or any other potential for mishap. Think first. Shoot second.0 -
Thank God that in my ignorant younger days I never hurt someone with my recklessness. 0 -

The snake should be charged with the death, if it had come down out of the tree when first confronted shots wouldn't have been fired. 0 -
