I own, ah, several boomsticks, and one of The Rules is There is no such thing as an unloaded gun.
You point it in a "safe" direction. Always. Until and unless it's disassembled and lying in a pile of pieces on the table.
This guy demonstrates how NOT to follow "trigger protocol." (http://reason.com/blog/2011/01/05/he-was-the-only-one-in-the-roo) Trigger protocol is another one of The Rules: Don't put your finger on the bleeping trigger until you're ready to fire.
(For those unfamiliar with the Glock, it has a "trigger-integral safety" that is on the front of the trigger face. No separate safety=you had damn well better remember trigger protocol.)
Just like with automobiles: if everyone follows The Rules, nobody will get hurt.
Oh, amen to that.
