Manual

22. NEVER SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER OR PUT YOUR
FINGER IN THE TRIGGER GUARD UNTIL YOU ARE
AIMING AT A TARGET AND READY TO SHOOT. This will
prevent you from firing the pistol when it is pointing in
an unsafe direction.
23. ALWAYS BE ABSOLUTELY SURE OF YOUR TARGET
AND THE AREA BEHIND IT BEFORE YOU SQUEEZE THE
TRIGGER. A bullet could travel through or past your
target up to 1 + miles . . . if in doubt, don’t shoot. THINK!
What will you HIT if you MISS the target?
24. NEVER SHOOT AT A HARD SURFACE SUCH AS
ROCK, OR A LIQUID SURFACE SUCH AS WATER. A bullet
may ricochet and travel in any direction to strike you, or
an object you cannot see, causing injury, death, or
damage to property.
25. NEVER DISCHARGE A FIREARM NEAR FLAMMABLE
MATERIAL. Flame and sparks erupt from the firearm
when discharged. They could start a fire or cause
flammable liquids and gasses to explode.
26. NEVER FIRE YOUR FIREARM NEAR AN ANIMAL
unless it is trained to accept the noise; an animal’s
startled reaction could injure it or cause an accident.
27. NEVER INDULGE IN “HORSEPLAY” WHILE HOLDING
YOUR PISTOL as it may be accidentally discharged.
