Important
The safest firearm is one that is fully unloaded. This means that the safety is
in the center (load/unload) position, the action is open, and the chamber has
been checked visually to insure that a cartridge is NOT present.
The Commandments of Firearms Safety
ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
ALWAYS be sure the gun is safe to operate and the barrel is clear of any obstruction.
ALWAYS use proper, factory-made ammunition for your particular gun.
ALWAYS know your target and what is beyond it.
ALWAYS wear eye and ear protection when shooting.
ALWAYS store guns and ammunition in separate, locked containers so they are
secure and not accessible to children or unauthorized persons.
ALWAYS treat every gun as if it were loaded, never rest a gun against a wall or fence.
NEVER use alcohol or drugs before or during handling of a gun.
NEVER bring a loaded firearm into a building.
NEVER transport a loaded firearm.
Safety Mechanism
What you should know about manual safety mechanisms:
Never completely trust any manual safety mechanism. While your rifle is
equipped with an effective, well-designed safety mechanism, NO SAFETY
MECHANISM IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROPER GUN HANDLING. Any
safety mechanism can break down or malfunction. Even when the manual safety
is “ON”, your firearm could fire when dropped. YOU, AND YOU ALONE,
ARE THE ULTIMATE SAFETY MECHANISM.
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Teach other members of your family, especially children, safe gun handling.
Ignorance and carelessness are the major causes of gun related accidents.
Whenever possible attend a “Hunter Safety” course or “Firearms Safety” course
in your area. This is an investment in your future. Encourage others to enroll
with you.
