I was about 13 or 14 and sitting in the duck blind with my Dad. We were waiting on legal shooting time, and had been sitting quiet for a little while as there were ducks in the decoys. I don'y know why, but I pulled the trigger on the shotgun (thinking the safety was on), and it went off. I was expecting all heck to break loose, but my Dad just had a serious talk about weapons safety--one that really sunk in! 18 yrs later, and carrying weapons for work and recreation--my finger never goes into the trigger guard unless I'm going to shoot----PERIOD. I think about this from time to time and often wonder what would have happened if I was as negligent with muzzle awareness as I was with trigger safety?????????
