10. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT ANY OTHER SHOOTERS
OR BYSTANDERS ARE WELL CLEAR OF YOU WHEN
PREPARING TO SHOOT YOUR PISTOL. EJECTED
CARTRIDGES CAN CAUSE INJURY TO ANYONE
STANDING IN THEIR PATH. NEVER OBSTRUCT THE
EJECTION PORT ON YOUR PISTOL BY PLACING
YOUR FINGERS IN FRONT OF IT.
11. ALWAYS WEAR ADEQUATE SHOOTING GLASSES AND
ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME.
UNPROTECTED EYES MAY BE INJURED BY POWDER GAS,
CARBON RESIDUE, LUBRICANT, METALLIC PARTICLES OR
SIMILAR DEBRIS THAT CAN DAMAGE EYES AND EVEN
CAUSE BLINDNESS.
12. ALWAYS WEAR ADEQUATE EAR PROTECTION AND
MAKE SURE THAT OTHERS IN YOUR VICINITY DO THE
SAME. REPEATED EXPOSURE TO SHOOTING NOISE CAN
LEAD TO CUMULATIVE, PERMANENT HEARING LOSS.
13. ALWAYS CARRY YOUR PISTOL EMPTY WITH THE SLIDE
LATCHED OPEN UNTIL PREPARING TO FIRE.
14. NEVER CONSUME ALCOHOL OR TAKE DRUGS PRIOR
TO SHOOTING. IF UNDER MEDICATION, SEEK A
DOCTOR’S ADVICE TO BE SURE THAT YOU ARE FIT
AND ABLE TO HANDLE A GUN SAFELY.
ALWAYS EMPLOY SAFE HANDLING,
LOADING, AND SHOOTING METHODS.
REMEMBER A LOADED FIREARM HAS
THE POTENTIAL TO KILL. INTELLIGENTLY
HANDLED IT CAN BE USED SAFELY.
