    Lets break it down… (mostly for the non-americans who aren’t used to guns)

    • Gun was loaded. You shouldn’t be storing a loaded weapon. So he either loaded it there or is an irresponsible gun owner.
    • Gun was pointed at a person. Never point a gun (loaded or not) at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
    • His finger was on the trigger. No trigger discipline at all. Index finger should be planted on the frame while doing literally ANYTHING other than meaning to pull the trigger.

    This is the basics… Anyone who’s taken any gun safety course would know, any responsible gun owner would know and religiously follow…

    1. Treat every gun like it’s loaded
    2. Keep your finger off the trigger
    3. Don’t point at anything you don’t plan to shoot
    4. Be aware of what’s behind your target
