Number 3 should be to always treat every firearm like it is loaded. It doesn't matter if you always unload the firearm, treat it as though it is loaded ANYWAY.
Treat every firearm as if it were loaded. Never point your firearm at anything you do not intend to shoot. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire. Keep your weapon on safe u til you intend to fire. Know your target and what lays beyond. There are no rules about keeping your gun unloaded until you are ready to use it. That is an incorrect rule.
Always keep your firearm LOADED AND CHAMBERED unless you have children. An unloaded firearm can be even more dangerous for you and is as worthless as a baseball bat. With that said I only recommend this at a certain level of training. If you have enough training and start EDC then you will be where you need to be. Always loaded and chambered in a holster anywhere anytime. Keep away from children and lock in safe. But keep it loaded.
Or go by ACTS the vital four commandments for gun safety A-assume every firearm is loaded C-control the muzzle direction at all times T-trigger finger must be kept off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until ready to fire S-see that your firearm is unloaded prove it safe PROVE IS another abbreviation involving gun safety
It's always interesting to me to see how people change Jeff Cooper's rules. When I teach someone new, I also have the first two the same as you do. It makes so much more sense to me to teach them in that order before you introduce a version of "treat every gun as if it is loaded." You seem to have substituted that rule with keeping the gun unloaded until ready to use. Why did you make that change?
Rule number 3 is the worst price of info you could give someone, it’s like saying don’t worry about filling up your cars fuel tank they have gas stations when you need them
Put the rule into context before reaching a conclusion. Context means you need to apply such particulars as 'who', 'when', 'where', 'Why, and 'how it is significant'. For example, not all firearms owners are the same so the word 'use' has different connotations. Recreational shooters without a CCW would not transport a firearm to the range and load it until they were absolutely ready. Competitive shooters would not load until they were instructed by the RSO to enter the stage and given the command, 'Load and make ready''. Defensive shooters would make sure they were loaded and ready before going to bed to defend their families and the gun was ready to 'use'. Concealed carriers and LEOs make sure of the gun's status and keep it loaded and ready to 'use'. This is why context is important because 'use' varies across the board depending on the context of 'who', 'when', 'where', 'why' and 'how it's significant. Does this make more sense now?
@@edwinthorell1573 Context is everything.....I got it immediately. A CCW holder, or someone carrying for self defense, is in the process of "using." They are "using" the entire time they are carrying. And, must be especially aware of the other rules while doing so. :)

Treat a firearm likes it is loaded is the first one on the actual physical list u can find online
You sound like the announcer in the pacer test
he prolly is
An unloaded firearm is useless in the event you need to use it. Keep it loaded and treat every gun as if it’s loaded
Wow, only 1/4 correct. Well done.
Yea #3 is trash, keep it loaded and stashed or locked but don’t keep EVERY firearm unloaded, what if you need it 🤷♂️
My callous is causing trouble with my trigger pull or squeeze. Any tips? I started sanding it down IT WORKS so ... Anything will help tips tricks

I'm sure it was clickbait to get us to comment. Commenting and subscribing.

Actually a baseball bat is better than nothing if you’re in really close quarters. Or out of ammunition.

Never point your firearm at something you dont intend to destroy “okay” *puts in hilt which has a hole which points at foot*
Oh wow, keep the firearm unloaded? That makes sense for safety, but sounds inconvenient.
