Mack McKenzie of Critical Defense Group outlines three fundamental firearm safety rules. These include maintaining muzzle discipline by always pointing in a safe direction, proper trigger finger placement by keeping it straight and off the trigger until ready to fire, and the imperative use of mechanical safeties or decockers on applicable handguns during reholstering, reloads, or in crowded environments. This simplified approach aims to enhance retention and daily practice for firearm owners.
