[G.T.]

that had to do with ninga claws! These nifty little pieces of worthless you know what, were advertised as enabling the owner to scale brick buildings and walls, and they even had a picture to that effect! Down below this glowing ad, was a small print disclaimer....it said " Please note, gravity is still gravity, improper use of this item could result in injury or death" Sometimes when collecting, browsing at the gun store, or poking around at gun shows, we seem to fall into a false sense of security on correct gun handling procedure.....as far as I know, these simple facts have never changed, 1) always treat every gun as if it were loaded! 2) always check the chamber of the weapon you are handed, no matter how many times it was checked before being handed to you! 3) always leave the empty action open or out of battery so it is visually appearant that the weapon is in a non-firing condition, (while still observing rule #1) 4)even with all of the above in mind, always know where the muzzle of any firearm in your immeadiate area is pointed...never sweep it by anyone, or take any of the above rules for granted.....I am sure there are more rules, and many ways to remember them, but if you can just remember the most important rules at a time when you become careless, you might save yourself and others from heartbreak and injury! till.....later....G.T.
