FOUR
RULES
of
GUN
SAFETY
 
                     
 

No mechanical device has a will of its own. A gun never "goes off" unless something causes it to do so. The aspect of safety is central to gunhandling.

Memorize the four principles of firearm safety. Treat them with absolute seriousness. Burn them into your consciousness.

 
                     
  RULE 1: All guns are always loaded  
                     
  RULE 2: Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.  
                     
  RULE 3: Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.  
                     
  RULE 4: Be sure of your target.
(Know what it is, what it is in line with, and what is behind it. Never shoot at anything you have not positively identified)
 
                     
  HOW TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS:  
                     
  DON'T KEEP GUN SAFETY A SECRET!  
                     
  If you've recently purchased a new firearm, read the manufacturer instructions and safety precautions included.  
                     
  Firearms are as safe or dangerous as YOU make them.  
                     
  Put safety first every time you pick up a gun to prevent accidents.  
     
  Make sure each family memeber knows how, when and WHEN NOT to handle a gun.  
     
  For more personal shooting and safety instruction, consult with your local dealer or gun club.
