Golden rule of firearm safety
Published: January 8th, 2008
The golden rule for firearm safety is usually attributed to Jeff Cooper.
RULE I: ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
I was reading the book “ Cautions to Young Sportsmen” by Thomas Frankland, which was published 207 years ago. The golden rule has not changed.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!
