Before running off and writing a bunch of rules, I suggest you research 
the local laws.  I think it's a bit pointless to create rules when there 
are already applicable laws.

This isn't specific to firearms either.  Creating rules that are already 
covered by laws and ordinances just adds to the paperwork and increases 
the chance that someone's eyes will glaze over trying to read them.
