    TREAT every weapon like it's loaded

    NEVER point at anything you don't intend to shoot

    KEEP safety on until you intend to fire

    KEEP finger straight and along the receiver until you intend to fire.

    but most these are basically different flavors of the same thing

    Edit: the capitalized words are for the Mnemonic Device used to remember the universal safety rules. TREAT, NEVER, KEEP, KEEP. (TNKK) some people were confused.
