The Golden Rules of Firearm Safety
- Treat every firearm as if it is loaded
- Never point a firearm at anything you are not prepared to shoot – even if you believe it is unloaded
- Your finger stays off the trigger, until your sights are on target (on target – on trigger, off target – off trigger)
- Know your target and what is beyond your target
- The most dangerous gun is the one you haven’t personally checked clear
- Always point the muzzle of your firearm in a safe direction
- Always wear ear and eye protection when handling a firearm, whether on range or in the field
- Pass or accept only clear and unloaded firearms
- Always keep firearms secured away from children
- Don’t rely on safety catches alone – they can wear and break over time
- Always thoroughly check a firearm before cleaning and disassembling
