Burn them into your consciousness.

RULE 1  All guns are always loaded.

RULE 2  Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.

RULE 3  Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.

RULE 4  Be sure of your target. (Know what it is, what is in line with it, and what is
        behind it.  Never shoot at anything you have not positively identified.)
