- Treat All Guns as If They Are Always Loaded
- Why? Even if you believe a firearm is unloaded, treat it as if it’s loaded to avoid accidents.
- Never Point the Muzzle at Anything You Are Not Willing to Destroy
- Why? Accidental discharges can happen, and a gun’s muzzle should never be directed at people or objects.
- Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger Until Ready to Shoot
- Why? Unintentional trigger pulls can lead to tragic consequences.
- Be Sure of Your Target and What Is Behind It
- Why? Bullets can penetrate walls and other barriers.
Remember, these rules apply whether you’re a beginner or an experienced shooter. Always prioritize safety when handling firearms.
