SECTION 1
SAFETY FIRST – IT‟S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
Above all – remember that a firearm is a mechanical device. It can not think, it can not act on its own
– it only does what YOU MAKE IT DO. A mechanical device has no way to know if your actions are
safe or if they will result in injury or death – THAT‟S YOUR PART! It only takes one careless second
to result in a tragedy that you will have to live with the rest of your life. MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT,
owning and/or using a firearm puts YOU in full control of its actions and THEIR CONSEQUENCES!
