Caption: Many people do not understand that putting a gun on safety usually means simply that the trigger can't be pulled, that rapping the butt of the gun sharply on the ground may set it off even if it's on safety. A fall or any sharp jar can set off a cartridge in a gun. Leaving a loaded gun on safety may not prevent an accident. Treat all loaded guns with respect, whether they're on safety or not. (Old Chinese Proverb: Man who fools with loaded gun may wind up saying, "That's me all over.")
