SAFE STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION CONT’D.
• NEVER ASSUME THAT A “HIDING” PLACE IS A SECURE
STORAGE METHOD. Others may be aware of your storage
location or come upon it by chance. It is your personal responsi-
bility to use common sense when storing your firearm and
ammunition and to always make sure they are not accessible to
children or other unauthorized persons.
•
NEVER TRANSPORT A LOADED FIREARM. When transporting
your firearm, be sure it is unloaded and locked. Safe and secure
transportation of your firearm is your responsibility.
•
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE LAW! Many jurisdictions have
laws that make it a crime to keep a firearm unlocked and
in an area accessible to children or others. Keeping a
firearm locked and unloaded when not in use is not only
common sense safety practice... IT IS THE LAW. You
must be familiar with all local, state, and federal laws
regarding the safe storage and transportation of your
firearm. Failure to know and follow the law may result in
unauthorized access or use of your firearm by another.
Obey all laws relating to the storage and transportation of
firearms. Your local police department or gunshop can
furnish you with available information on storing and/or
transporting a firearm safely and legally.

YOUR FIREARM IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
.
You must prevent your firearm from being stolen or from
being used by untrained or unqualified individuals. Keep it
locked, unloaded and secured when not in use.
