CAUTIONS:
!
1. ALWAYS HANDLE YOUR FIREARM AS IF IT WERE LOADED
so that you never fire it accidentally when you think it is
unloaded.
2. NEVER POINT YOUR FIREARM AT ANYTHING YOU DO NOT
INTEND TO SHOOT so that if it fires accidentally, injury, death,
or damage to property will be prevented.
3. NEVER TAKE ANYONE’S WORD THAT A FIREARM IS
UNLOADED; check for yourself with fingers off the trigger
and firearm pointed in a safe direction, so that you never fire
the firearm accidentally when you think it is unloaded.
4. ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR FIREARM IS NOT LOADED AND
BOLT IS LATCHED OPEN BEFORE LAYING IT DOWN, OR
HANDING IT TO ANOTHER PERSON, so that it cannot be fired
when it is unsafe to do so. Do not let anyone stick their
fingers in the ejection port during inspection or operation.
5. ALWAYS KEEP AND CARRY YOUR FIREARM EMPTY, WITH
THE HAMMER FORWARD except when you intend to shoot,
so that your firearm cannot be fired when you do not intend
to fire it.
