This is why guns are equipped with a SAFETY, a small switch that can
prevent the inadvertant firing of the weapon.

Firearms safety courses teach that the SAFETY should not be disengaged
until just before firing and then reset immediately after firing.

I was 8 years old when I received my first rifle from my father, 10 when I
received my first shotgun, and 11 when I received my first handgun.  Each
time I was drilled in the proper use of the weapon and flicking the safety
off and on became second nature.  I will pass the same knowledge to my son
as he grows as well.
