My verbiage can be improved, for sure, but I think we are on the same page. If you need to clean it –clean it, if you got to train with it –train with it. Some people cannot stop fidgeting with the controls though, the rule is for them.

Very true, “playing” with a firearm - in any state - is stupid. One needs to learn to properly, safely, handle a firearm, and as you stated, the best way is to not handle it, except only when necessary. It is easy to learn bad habits, unlearning them is much more difficult.

#5. Know your firearm very well and respect it
#6 Be discrete
#7 Leave arrogance at the door and remain responsible and humble
#8 Shoot holistically: using your mind (logical thinking, aiming with sites, concentration, observation), your heart (pure intention), your physical body (strength, stamina, posture, etc)
#9. Remember your ‘why’.
#10 (Because if there is a 9, there needs to be a 10)…Knowledge + skill + practice = safety and protection

#11. Buy the most expensive, badass gun you can. Bragging rights at the range are important too.

#14. Triple check everything. It’s ok to be OCD about gun safety.

I really like that. Someone I know had an accident. No 1 got hurt physically, but it drastically changed my ideas around handling. Making it my mission to teach. I never want anyone to ever experience an accident.
