With the addition of millions of new gun owners in this country over the past couple of months, it is time to revisit a quick lesson in gun safety. Gun safety is not just for the new gun owners out there. Gun safety is for everyone! Carelessness gets people killed. The man in this video is lucky he didn’t kill himself or someone else. Instead, he lost a finger because of his negligence.
Everything about the surveillance video here screams that the police officer shopping for a gun is not paying attention to any of the four cardinal rules of gun safety. To recap, the rules are:

- Keep your finger off the trigger until you have made a conscious decision to fire.
- Do not point the muzzle of the gun at anything you are not willing to destroy.
- Know your target and what is beyond your target.
