You should see how many safety pages there are in my camera manual.
Do they advise you to store the camera and the batteries separately?

One of the few times to follow the store separately advice is when transporting in a vehicle, some states require non residents and such to do so when traveling through.

Yes. In fact, yes it does.

And that is for protection against state laws rather than from the gun.

I can understand why mothers and fathers of criminals don't want the law abiding citizens armed, or even trained to be effective with a weapon.
Government has the very same fear.
They should.
Which makes all the more important to take up training ,making it a priority to set aside the opportunity to be further trained and practiced.
One thing in training no one ever included was that during the preliminary moments of being aware of an event before getting started ,do some stretching and loosening up you muscles if you have been in bed or sitting at a chair for some time.
I remember doing a simulation with my son, we had been sitting a while and I did not do any stretching before hand, and found my self on the ground with the worst charley horse ,in that event I would be dead.
Especially if your older and have the remote possibility if muscle cramps , KNOW you weaknesses .
There is no calling "time out" with reality.
Obviously if your already on your feet a while your circulation is up, and in public places you'd best be on your toes any way .
If I've been sitting a while , I get up and stretch my legs and arms.
I spend an hour or so at starbucks and stretch 2-3 times in that place .
Every one is use to me doing it ,some times I see others do it as well .
There is a gym just across the way.

Don't want that camera to start snapping pics of its own accord...

Correct

I've had little formal training, other than with my Dad when he shot for the Navy. I bad to take a CCW class its a requirement in NV, to get my permit, bug other than that, it's been only thousands of hours of practice. When I was competing heavily, I'd burn 3-500 rounds 5 days a week. I had no trouble passing the CCW class. Lol. That aside, formal training is a good thing. There's ALWys something to be learned, even for seasoned shooters.

At least it makes them easy to spot

I got most of my weapon handling training when I started work for Sig Sauer, most of what they provided I already knew as I had been CCing for years before that. True common sense will go a long way.
Wow, working for Sig. Awesome . I went to the Sig store while working up there on a submarine at the base. Like a kid in a candy store.

Was only there a couple years, not as fun as it sounds. Got to shoot some cool stuff though, development stuff that would have steel weights welded to the slides for tweaking/testing. Had a couple days that were literally dumping mags at the indoor range all day, with peons doing nothing all day but loading more mags for me. Hard on the wrists

Now that you mention it...

... about a year ago, my cell phone was lying on our dining room table why my wife and I were in the adjacent kitchen having a discussion.

Then my phone signaled that it had taken a voicemail. I went into the dining room and checked it. The sender of the voicemail was my phone number. When I checked the voicemail, it was low and garbled, but when I listened closely, it was the conversation my wife and I had just been having in the kitchen.

Somehow, the phone had turned itself on, recorded our conversation, then called me with the recording.
Hmmm. Maybe it was supposed to have called NSA instead of me.

Nice. Maybe if you had stored the phone and battery separately as recommended by safety experts
