Agreed, in the same manner that Henry Ford brought us the Model T, we have since moved on to more efficient methods of modern industry. The model T was and is still an amazing accomplishment, but it doesn't have airbags, therefore has been relegated to being historically significant, yet...
A big virtue of the 3 rules approach is that it doesn't matter whether or not the gun is loaded or unloaded. There is no differentiation to be made, no intellectual gray area to confuse noobies. Just 3 simple rules, 25% more efficient than 4 rules. Systematic, step by step rules.
great post. For the record, I'm a 4 rules guy, however, when I think of safety for the masses, 3 rules makes more sense to me. If we agree that both 3 rules AND 4 rules are safe when adhered to, then it becomes elementary for me. 3 rules, one less rule, same effect, 25% more efficient when...

Feel free to read through the 47 pages of the thread I started in which I debated the virtues of the 4 rule system. I get where you're coming from, I'm just migrating to a different set of core beliefs in regard to gun safety for the masses. It's all good...
The irony is that I was on the other side of this debate not too long ago and have given it considerable thought. I will agree that the purpose is to establish a mindset, but that is not a universal concept. It's apparent that 2 "mindsets" are developed, one with a loaded firearm and one that...
I think this is the perfect example of the 3 rules vs 4 rules debate, IE, people treat handguns differently if they think they are unloaded. The more I think about this, the more I like the 3 rules model.
