Excellent post. When I teach beginner classes, the first thing I do is clear every gun in the room, and make them verify the clear. Then I start with the 3 NRA rules, and hammer them about them. After that, every time they touch a gun, I remind them of the rules.

Since we go to a range after class, I also stress the typical rules of a firing range. One benefit of this, is that I find myself being very conscious of not only safety at the range, but also the actual rules I teach. It's easy to get sloppy, so we must all act as if an instructor is watching us.
