The 4 safety rules:
1. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times; what constitutes a safe direction "a direction in the event the firearm were to discharge, the projectile would not harm property, life or person".
2. Do not load until you are ready to start shooting-rifle is pointed in a safe direction
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
4. Make sure others around you are following the safety rules.

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...

There are the 3 NRA rules

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.
