Gun safety is definitely an ideology. Those of us who are prior military know the basic four safety rules and how to conduct ourselves on a range. On a military range ... every shooter is a range safety officer. So what do you say to someone on a civilian range? What if the gun in question is a modern pistol with no safety lever?
Safety is not a device. It is a philosophy; an ideology that guides you to do things safely. If you remember your very first Hunter Education class, you heard the instructor say, “The safety is a mechanical device. Mechanical devices do fail. Do not count on your firearm’s safety lever when it comes to matters of life and death.”

I agree with don't depend on your firearm to be the safety for you, I take responsibility for ALL my actions w/a firearm. It needs to be reflexive action.

With any type of weapon without a safety, you still follow the basic range rules. 1. keep the weapon pointed down range, 2. you don't load it until you are ready to shoot it, 3. you keep your finger off the trigger until you have a proper sight picture and are ready to fire. Otherwise the nice range NCO will come by your firing point and slap your helmet with his range safety paddle and chew you a new one.

Hello Sir,
Great to share the same opinion about firearms safety with you. Once that bullet leaves the barrel it's everyone's responsibility. See an unsafe act, yell or scream if necessary "CHECKFIRE" tell that person to remove their magazine, clear the weapon, place their weapon on safe, lay their weapon down and step back until the situation can be squared away. Often a person has picked up some bad habits and doesn't even know they are doing anything wrong.
