Know your target.  And, what is beyond it.  Don’t know what else might be going on there, but from the local news story, we get a Rule 4 reminder that the bullet does not necessarily stop where we want it to.  It is a mindless mass in flight, stopping only when the energy required to move the target from inertia exceeds the kinetic energy of the projectile.  Or something like that.  Don’t shoot at dogs chasing horses when a school bus is passing by, is the more direct message of the story—or you might end up prosecuted, even if nobody got hurt.

Firearms safety is one of those things that is better now, than it was in the good old days.  Our freedom is being restored; it’s up to us to exercise it responsibly.
