Wow, thesheepdog, I don't believe those are quite the safe rules we were discussing or are quite a set that I have seen before, but your variant introduces yet another problem to the equation, doesn't it? Is everyone using the same set of rules? Coopers' rules are here...http://thefiringline.com/Misc/safetyrules.html
There are the 3 NRA rules http://www.nrahq.org/education/guide.asp. Canada's rules - ACTS. Remington's 10 commandments http://www.remington.com/pages/news-...mandments.aspx . I am sure there are some other sets out there as well.
I see your rules pretty well preclude the use of many belt holsters, pocket carry, thunderwear, pagerpal ,etc. too.
The notion of never loading until you are ready to start shooting sounds like it would make a lot of armed defense fairly useless, and even if it just applies to rifles, would make many hard to use properly and effectively for patrol or for hunting.
I have never seen #4 before anywhere. I guess that would be the "everybody is a RSO" rule.

Mine are "Range Rules". Not at all self defense rules; but the OP was regarding "general safety rules".
The most important rule is "every gun is loaded, always".
Here is what constitutes a safe rifle:
1. Magazine out.
2. Bolt back and locked.
3. Safety on.
4. Chamber flag in (if on a range)
5. Rifle Grounded.
6. Nobody is touching your rifle.
