Most often gun related injuries or deaths here in Finland are just because people were careless, not having the safety on or assuming a gun is empty when you start cleaning it and then you accidentally shoot your mate. I haven't been around guns that much but I don't think it's rocket science to treat a gun with respect and a healthy dose of fear.

Yeah, that happens a lot - Stupidity and guns rarely end well.
Firearm safety isn't a difficult concept to grasp but there's always those few who think those rules don't apply to them and that often ends in death or injury.
I don't fear guns, never have...But I respect them and don't compromise on safety; This is why I am so strategic when instructing new shooters; I never cut corners.
