Tragic accidental death of child shot by uncle who didn't think the gun was loaded.
(USA. 2014. Relative of child.)
A few general rules.
1 Check whether the gun is loaded.
2 Keep safety catch on.
3 Don't point it at an adult, child, animal, breakables.
4 Point and fire at piece of paper.
5 Even if you think the gun is not loaded, don't point at a person. You could be mistaken. Somebody could load it when you are not looking. A child or adult could copy your action and they could make a mistake.
6 Better safe than sorry.
7 Don't get out guns when other people are around.
8 If you must demonstrate guns, show people guns on the internet.
William Burroughs, the American poet, shot his wife dead.
Safety measures
Prevention is better than cure.
In 2014 the USA is planning legislation to make all guns designed so that they can only be operated only by the owner recognised by something such as a fingerprint. That would prevent passers-by or opponents in conflicts from grabbing the gun. Children could not discover a hidden gun and accidentally kill themselves, their siblings, parents, grandparents nor friends.
