Those are the two most important things I was taught about guns, when my dad got one to keep in the house. I was 4-ish. And I still remember.
Ah, the things you remember from childhood.
Another little factoid was, if I got lost in the woods, I should head downhill. If I ran across a stream, I should follow it downstream, and eventually I would come across a settlement and could ask for help.
