4 Universal rules of firearm safety

Always Keep Firearm Pointed in a Safe direction

Never point your gun at anything you do not intend to shoot. This is particularly important when loading or unloading a firearm. In the event of an accidental discharge, no injury can occur as long as the muzzle is pointing in a safe direction.

Treat All Guns as Though They are Loaded

By treating every firearm as if it is loaded, a habit of safety is developed. Whenever you handle a firearm, or hand it to someone, always open the action immediately, and visually check the chamber, receiver and magazine to be certain they do not contain any ammunition. Never assume a gun is unloaded always confirm by checking and clearing the weapon.

Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger until You are Ready to Shoot

Never touch the trigger on a firearm until you actually intend to shoot. Keep your fingers away from the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you are ready to engage your target.

Always Be Sure of Your Target and What’s Beyond It

Don’t shoot unless you know exactly what your shot is going to strike. Be sure of the backstop and sectors of fire.
