Basic Gun Safety
Everyone should continually review basic gun safety points.
Before purchasing a gun, acknowledge the fact that a gun can cause serious injury or death.
Handling a gun makes each of us responsible for what happens with it while in our possession or control.
Every gun owner must accept full responsibility for safety and security at all times, including other people using our gun and their ability and willingness to handle it properly.
Every gun owner needs to make sure that nobody can steal or use your firearm without your consent.
Basic safety rules include:
Always treat a gun as if it were loaded until you visually check it out.
Never point your firearm in any direction you do not intend to shoot. And especially never in the direction of other people.
Always have your gun pointed in a safe direction.
Before handling a firearm, understand how it works.
Do not assume that a gun is secure. Know for certain.
Do not put your finger on the trigger unless you are ready to shoot.
Keep your firearm unloaded when you are not using it.
Never pass your firearm to anybody until you have checked that it is unloaded. Insist that the other person also check to make sure it is unloaded.
If you have to carry your gun loaded, always point it in a safe direction (e.g., the ground).
Never carry a gun with the hammer cocked.
You should store your firearm and ammunition in separate locked places. Be sure that it is not inaccessible to children.
Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
