My ABCs of gun safety.
Always Assume every gun is loaded and treat it as such.
Be sure it's unloaded by checking the action visually and also by sticking your Bogger hook into the chamber.
C for yourself whether a gun is loaded or not. Don't assume nothing no time. Remember what "assume" will make out of both u and me.
And of course, there's that other "B".
Keep your Booger hook off the Bang switch.
