•ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FIREARM POINTED IN A
SAFE DIRECTION. Never point a firearm at anyone
or anything you do not intend to shoot whether or not
it is loaded. This is particularly important when loading,
unloading, or field stripping the gun. ALWAYS control the
direction of the firearm.
•ALWAYS TREAT EVERY FIREARM AS IF IT IS
LOADED AND WILL FIRE IF THE TRIGGER IS
PULLED. Do not take anyone’s word that the firearm is
unloaded – always check for yourself. Never pass your
firearm to another person until the cylinder or action is open
and you visually check that it is unloaded. Keep your
firearm unloaded and safely stored when not in use.
• NEVER PLACE YOUR FINGER INSIDE THE
TRIGGER GUARD OR ON THE TRIGGER UNLESS
YOU INTEND TO FIRE. Ensure that other objects do
not touch the trigger.
• AL
WAYS BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT
IS BEY
OND IT.
Always be sure of where the bullet
will strike and shoot only where there is a safe back
stop free of obstructions, water or other surfaces
which can cause ricochets. Do not fire into the sky.
• NEVER CROSS OBSTACLES SUCH AS FENCES
OR STREAMS WITH A LOADED FIREARM.
