    it’s very ingrained in gun culture to be smart about what direction you fire.

    This is one of those things where 99% of people I see online say it, but like 10% of people I know in real life actually practice it.

    Like wearing protective gear on a motorcycle

      That’s interesting, when I look online, most people seem to think all gun owners are totally careless. I say it because I’ve lived in that culture before, everyone where I’m from has their hunter’s safety training and I’ve never been out shooting with anybody did it carelessly.

      Is this your impression of friends/acquaintances of yours that shoot or have you taken part as well and seen it first hand?

        When I’m in online conversations it’s responsibility and gun safes and trigger discipline.

        When my friends get drunk it’s “let’s go shoot rocks from my deck”
