Commandment #6
If Your Gun Fails to Fire When the Trigger Is Pulled, Handle With Care
If a cartridge or shell does not fire when the trigger is pulled, follow
Commandment #1 and keep the firearm’s muzzle pointed in a safe
direction. Keeping the muzzle pointed away from your face and anything you do
not intend to shoot, wait at least 30 seconds (to ensure that the ammunition is not
delayed in firing) before carefully opening the action, unloading the firearm and
disposing of the ammunition safely.
Commandment #7
Always Wear Eye and Ear Protection When Shooting
Exposure to shooting noise can permanently damage hearing and flying
debris, such as powder residue and ejected cartridge cases, can injure
your eyes.Thus, it is only common sense to wear both eye protection (such as
shooting glasses) and ear protection (such as a sound muffling headset) whenever
shooting. Also, wear eye protection when cleaning or disassembling your gun, to
ensure that cleaning solvent and tensioned parts (such as springs) do not come
into contact with your eyes.
Commandment #8
Be Sure the Barrel Is Clear of Obstructions Before Shooting
Discharging a firearm with an obstruction in the barrel can result in
personal injury, property damage or death.Before you load your firearm,
check the chamber and magazine to ascertain that no ammunition is inside.
Also, check the inside of the barrel (called the “bore”) to ensure it is free of
obstructions. Even a small amount of mud, snow or excess lubricating oil or grease
in the bore can cause excessive pressures resulting in a bulged or burst barrel
which can injure or kill the shooter and bystanders. It’s a good idea to make a habit
of cleaning the bore and checking for obstructions with a cleaning rod just before
each shooting session. If the noise or recoil experienced upon firing seems low or
weak, or something doesn’t feel “right,” cease firing immediately and check to make
sure that there is no obstruction in the barrel. Placing an undersized shell or
cartridge into a gun (such as a 20-gauge shell in a shotgun chambered for 12-gauge
ammunition) can result in the smaller round of ammunition falling into the barrel
and acting as an obstruction. When a round is subsequently fired, the barrel may
burst, causing injury to the shooter and bystanders. For reference, re-read
Commandment #5.
Commandment #9
Do Not Alter or Modify Your Gun and Have It Serviced Regularly
Firearms are complex mechanisms that are designed to function properly in their
original condition. Any alterations or changes made to a firearm after its
manufacture can make the gun unsafe and will void its warranty. Do not jeopardize
your safety or the safety of others by altering the trigger, mechanical safety or
other mechanisms of your firearm. You should have your firearm periodically
checked for proper functioning and serviced by a qualified gunsmith.
Commandment #10
Learn the Mechanical and Handling Characteristics of Your Firearm
Not all firearms operate the same way. The method of carrying, handling and
operating firearms varies with the mechanical characteristics of each gun. Thus, you
