Ever since Jeff Cooper and the early years of Gunsite Range exist allow four basic safety rules for handling firearms, accident-free shooting to a very distant time. Unfortunately, the implementation of these safety rules, especially in the authority area usually inversely proportional to the (self-perception of) their own professionalism.
Tom Givens, an American shooting instructor and owner of the school, "Range Master" in Memphis, Tennessee is a very long time in business and with his training program mainly focuses on the individual gun owners. Due to the high crime rate in his hometown, the influx from tears at Ttrainingswilligen not. Tom Givens brings out a monthly newsletter that contains valuable information on aspects of the shooting training but also the mental approach to armed confrontations and to avoid them. In the November issue is dedicated to Tom Givens of some deaths in connection with official shooting training. Mind training (!) - No operations. All deaths are from the year 2010 and were only caused by the violation of one or even several safety rules.

The safety rules
1) Each weapon is loaded. will (no additives. No restrictions.)
2) passes over the mouth only what I shoot well.
3) The user touches only the trigger when I made the decision to shoot.
4) I know my goal and I value what is behind it.
Each weapon is not loaded
This security rule is no reason in the first place. It is the most important of all. Gern rewording the rule or provided with additives and restrictions. For example, it is often modified to: "I consider every weapon as charged." Which in some ways is a restriction the same. Because when I loaded a gun only as a "look", I am unconsciously assume that it is not loaded. The easiest way to see a gun as loaded, it is to load.
It is a question of education, whether a gun owner is taught from the beginning that any weapon loaded. Or that the normal state of a weapon is unloaded and it is loaded only in "exceptional cases".
hundreds of gun accidents happen every year with unloaded weapons. Each one of them could be avoided, it would follow safety rule # 1.
special training variations
Will Force-on-force exercise conducted in which offensive and defensive situations are simulated in partner exercises is essential to ensure that there are no real weapons in space or within range. Each participant of this training must be time for the beginning and thus be present for instruction.
a major security risk represent training sequences, when identifying real firearms in connection with so-called Fireams munitions are used. Connected by these sim-Mun are only painful but not deadly. Nevertheless, every time a risk that is loaded from overzealous or careless a live cartridge.
By far the better alternative is the 6-mm BB system dar.

Conclusion
the 4 safety rules should never be ignored. You may not be the belief in one's own professionalism partially suspended. Before each training session or any other shooting event, there must be a safety briefing in which all participants, the 4 rules are recalled.
