ATTENTION
1.NEVER,
2.ALWAYS treat every gun as if it were loaded.
3.Get instruction from a competent firearms instructor before using any gun.
4.The safety is only a mechanical device, not a substitute for common sense.
5.Keep your finger off the trigger until you are actually aiming at the target ready to shoot.
6.Be certain the gun is unloaded before cleaning.
7.ALWAYS empty guns before entering a place where there are people.
8.NEVER leave a loaded gun unattended.
9.Store guns and ammunition separately beyond the reach of children.
10.DON’T test the safety by pulling the trigger while the safety is on unless you are absolutely sure the gun is empty and you are pointing away from everyone.
11.Be sure of your target and backstop before you shoot.
12.Guns and alcohol or drugs don’t mix.
13.NEVER pull a gun towards you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree or cross a fence with a loaded gun.
14.LOAD and UNLOAD with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
15.If a gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it pointed at the target for at least 30 seconds. Sometimes slow primer ignition will cause a “hang” fire and the cartridge will go off after a short pause.
16.Never shoot at hard flat surfaces or water...bullet may ricochet.
17.When receiving a gun ALWAYS check that it is unloaded (Pistols:Remove magazine and open slide to check if chamber is empty or tip up barrel and check chamber), even if you saw it done previously.
18.Never put your hand over the muzzle of a gun.
