I'd say being able to hit an intended target and not just praying and spraying is part of firearm safety. Errant bullets can cause a lot of damage. It's been over a decade since I've owned a firearm but it wasn't for nothing that one of the four fundamental rules of firearm safety I was taught is "be sure of your target and what's behind it".

in the firearm safety course, you learn not to shoot if there's anything behind the target you do not intend to destroy. Even if you hit the target, the bullet can pass through it. So it really makes no difference for gun safety whether you hit.

I’ve been taught “treat, never, keep, keep” as the four rules. How do yours go?
