No no no. What I'm saying is it may not be practical to point it in a place that is less consequential because the consequences can vary so drastically in one's mind. Imagine teaching a kid to point it in a place with the least consequences, you leave it up to their own interpretation of what that means. Saying, "don't flag your buddies and civilians, and only point it at a direct threat to your life" would be better. Because it is more direct and leaves the only possible option in a manner of self defence. Making it more practical for those who are mentally inadequate of interpretation

If your kid is too stupid to understand the significance of a firearm and understand what, "direction of least consequence" means, then he's not ready for firearms. That's a case by case basis, and I don't know anyone who would fall into that category at the time they were being taught how to use firearms.
These rules aren't meant to be left on their own - they're meant to be explained and understood.
This is entirely covered in, "direction of least consequence."
