BE CERTAIN YOUR RIFLE IS UNLOADED BEFORE CLEANING. Because so
many gun accidents occur when a firearm is being cleaned, special and
extreme care should be taken to be sure your gun is unloaded before
disassembly, cleaning and reassembly. Keep ammunition away from
the cleaning location. Never test the mechanical function of any
firearm with live ammunition.
10.
ALWAYS UNLOAD YOUR RIFLE WHEN NOT IN USE. Your responsibilities
do not end when your firearm is unattended. Store your rifle and
ammunition separately and well beyond the reach of children. Take
all safeguards to ensure your rifle does not become available to
untrained, inexperienced or unwelcome hands.
