GUN SAFETY RULES

BEARING ARMS IS YOUR RIGHT, PROTECTING YOUR FAMILY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

Guns are dangerous when they are not handled or used properly and can easily injure or kill you, and those around you. There are no second chances with a gun and the rules for safe gun handling must always be followed to avoid accidents.

 

THE GOLDEN RULES FOR SAFE GUN HANDLING

• Always treat the gun as loaded.

• Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.

• Always keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

• Never point the gun at anything you don't intend to destroy.

• Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before loading and shooting.

• Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

• Be aware of your surroundings when handling guns so you don't trip or lose your balance and accidentally point and/or fire the gun at anyone or anything.

• Always use proper Ammunition.

• If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, hold your shooting position for several seconds; then with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, carefully unload the gun.

• Don't rely on the gun's safety to keep it from firing.

• When in Doubt; Don't shoot.
