The Ten Commandments of Firearms Safety
1. ALWAYS treat every gun as if it were loaded.
2. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
3. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
4. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
5. ALWAYS be sure the gun is safe to operate and the barrel is clear of any obstruction.
6. ALWAYS use the proper, factory-made ammunition for your particular gun.
7. ALWAYS know your target and what is beyond it.
8. ALWAYS wear ear and eye protection when shooting.
9. NEVER use alcohol or drugs before or during handling a gun.
10. ALWAYS store guns and ammunition in separate locked containers, so they are secure and not accessible
to unauthorized persons.
BECOME FAMILIAR WITH YOUR PISTOL, UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS FULLY BEFORE USING IT.
What you should know about all safety mechanisms
NEVER completely trust any safety mechanism. Your pistol is equipped with an effective, well designed safety
mechanism. NO SAFETY MECHANISM, HOWEVER, IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROPER GUN HANDLING.
Any safety mechanism can break down or malfunction.
YOU, AND YOU ALONE, ARE THE ULTIMATE SAFETY MECHANISM.
Remember, there is no such thing as a "childproof” safety or one which can completely prevent accidental
discharge from careless or irresponsible use.
The best safety is proper and applied training in safe gun handling.
