I agree totally.
Numerous times I have made a presentation at my Daughter's Christian school showing them several military weapons. I always start it by saying "there are three rules to keep in mind when handling guns: Safety...safety...and safety".
Then I go over the famous Four Rules. I start by showing them a 1911 Colt. Ask for a volunteer. Then I lock the slide back and ask him to look to see if it's loaded. Always says no. I tell them he's wrong. I say Rule #1 is "Treat all guns as if they are loaded". I say "I always change that to There is NO SUCH THING as an unloaded gun, even if you have checked it and double checked as I always do".
It made a good impression an all of 'em, plus it was fun.
