Arguing over the four rules adds nothing to the thread or the reminder to treat guns as though they are loaded for the safety factor.
The four rules work, are widely accepted as the standard, and are great for teaching gun safety to new gun owners.
Bottom line is if followed they will keep you out of trouble.
And kind of like the English language, there can be exceptions that are easily understood, unless one insists on over thinking it.
Are they perfect? Is anything? Do they work? Yes they do.
