Firearm Safety


ALWAYS REMEMBER
  1. Treat every firearm with respect. Ensure that the muzzle is always pointed in a safe direction.
  2. Treat every firearm as if it is LOADED until you have personally proven otherwise.
  3. Clear your firearm before handing it to someone else.
  4. Clear the firearm after receiving if from someone else.
  5. When a firearm is unattended, it must be left in a safe and stable position.
  6. Never throw a firearm to someone else; this is stupid and dangerous. Do not attempt to catch a firearm thrown to you.
  7. Never shoot at a hard flat surface, or at the surface of water, as there is the possibility of ricochet.
  8. Always carry the firearm with a definite purpose, always having complete control of the firearm.
  9. Never POINT ANY firearm, LOADED or EMPTY, at anyone.
  10. Do not cock the firearm or place your finger inside the trigger until you are ready to fire.
  11. Be sure of your target. Always identify your target before you fire.
  12. Never fire whilst running. Always stop and take aim before firing.
  13. Every time a firearm is handled for any purpose other than firing, unload and visually check to ensure the firearm is safe.
  14. Check your ammunition. Old ammunition is not reliable.
  15. Store your firearm in a dry, secure place.
  16. Maintain your firearm in A1 condition.
  17. Remember, guns and alcohol don’t mix.
