So I was reading through a Taurus manual, and found this lovely string of warnings:

WARNING:
Securing your firearm may inhibit access to it in a defense situation and
result in injury or death.

WARNING:
To prevent injury or death, it is imperative that you must keep your gun
unloaded, uncocked, and securely locked, with ammunition in a separate
location. In addition, take any other reasonable steps to limit the possibility o
theft, accident, or suicide.

WARNING:
Failure to properly secure a firearm may result in injury or death.

So if I secure my firearm, it may result in injury or death...
but to prevent injury or death, i must unload and secure my firearm...
and if i fail to properly secure my firearm, it may result in injury or death.



Wow.

Lawyer speak.
Trying to cover all the angles.
Just makes it confusing, and sounds like they don't know anything about which they speak.

I will have to give you a pat on the back for actually paying attention to that portion of the manual. I usually skip anything that doesn't directly relate to the care and feeding of my particular pet.

Anything you do can get you killed. Including nothing.

Me too, Hyunch! I'm going to look through some of mine when I get home and see if they have anything wierd like that. I don't have a Taurus of any kind though.

I have seen those before, except for the first one.

It reminds me of warnings on medications. I have taken many different drugs for migraines, and all of them have had warnings for the possible side-effect of headache. Or death...

This could get off topic but legalese language that contradicts itself is everywhere in the world we live in. Instructions with a new electric waffle iron:
1. Wash in hot soapy water prior to first use.
2. Do not immerse in water.

I always skip thru the first few pages of the owner’s manual and go to the maintenance – field strip section. If you read the other sections you will hurt yourself running in circles.
