Default Three simple rules.

On Monday night a coworker who I was particularly close to was shot because his father did not follow these rules. If you love someone educate them.

"The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the shooting death of a Venice man.

A witness called 9-1-1 to report a shooting at 607 Dolphin Road on Monday afternoon. The caller then told the operator they were leaving the house to transport the victim to Venice Regional Medical Center.

Witnesses reported that the victim, Zachary Dubay, DOB 11-10-87, and some friends were preparing to go to a firing range in Charlotte County when his father, Eugene Dubay, DOB 4-16-61, handed him a pistol and it accidentally discharged.

Zachary later died from his injuries."



1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances.

2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger.


3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety device if possible, and, if the gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and looking into the chamber(s) which should be clear of ammunition. If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does.
