person.
NEVER handle any gun unless you have passed an appropriate, accredited firearm safety
course, and know how to safely handle the gun. Make sure you have the right holster for
your gun. Be extra careful when you put a gun into your holster, and when you remove a gun
from your holster.
Keep any gun pointed in a safe direction regardless of whether you think it is unloaded.
