@Frank Apisa,
Frank, I hate to agree with bill, but he is correct.
If the simple rules of gun safety are followed, a firearm cannot hurt you.
Always assume a gun is loaded, unless you unload it and check it yourself.
NEVER leave a gun where children can get to it.
Never point it at anything or anyone you don't intend to shoot.
As long as those basic rules are followed, that will seriously reduce accidental shootings in this country.
Will there still be accidents?
Of course there will be, people are people after all.
But following those 3 simple rules will greatly reduce accidents.
