simple rules for firearms safty apply to all guns, although they arent lethal the same rules apply for an airsoft gun as well because they are dangerous. Airsoft guns are not toys by any means

1. Treat all guns as if they are cocked and loaded
2. never place your finger on the trigger unless you are ready to fire it.
3. make sure you know what is in the line of fire
4. never point a gun at anything you have no intention of shooting.

following these few little rules ensure that no one is accidentaly hurt
My wife murdered my bathroom mirror because she was handling my .45 improperly, she swears that she only took it from the the drawer to find something,  it was holstered with the trigger covered. My pistol has a 2lb trigger pull but also has a grip safety that has to be depressed to fire so this assured me that she removed it from the holster and had her hand wrapped around the grip before the reigger was touched

You forgot a few rules.

Never store a loaded gun!!!!!!!
guns must be locked up, not just a trigger lock.
A gun and ammo should be locked up in different places.
If possible, guns should be stored with the action opened.


The way I store my rifles is I use a trigger lock, one of those cable locks that go's through the chamber, and I lock the actual gun in a safe in the basement.  I store the ammo in one of those little fireproof safe things, and put that on one of the shelves in the gun safe next to the guns.  It may be anal retentive, but my mirrors thank me.

Also, another important rule, when handing a gun to someone, it should be completely unloaded with the action opened, and the muzzle should be pointed in a safe direction.  The first thing the person receiving the gun should do is check the chamber to make sure it's not loaded. Again, this may seem anal retentive, but you would be amazed at how many "accidents" happen when handing a gun off to someone.  When I took my hunter safety course, we practiced this for an hour, just to make it into am automatic reflex. 

Although in general I am not a serious person, gun safety is something I take very very seriously.  If someone is not willing to follow ALL the rules of gun safety, then they are not mature enough to operate a fire arm.  If someone is with you while you are using a gun, it is your responsibility as a responsible gun owner to tell them all the rules of gun safety and make sure they follow them.
