Today:  Firearms safety isn’t anyone’s favorite topic, but we could all use a reminder from time to time.

Rule number 4 is the hardest to teach, reinforce, and implement in the real world.  And it’s the most boring to talk about, but we could all use the refresher.  I’m talking to myself in this podcast as much as trying to remind you.
