3 WHENEVER YOU HANDLE ANY FIREARM, OR HAND IT TO SOMEONE,
ALWAYS OPEN THE ACTION IMMEDIATELY AND VISUALLY CHECK THE
FIREARM’S CHAMBER TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE FIREARM IS
COMPLETELY UNLOADED.
Make certain the firearm does not inadvertently contain any
ammunition. Remember, merely removing the magazine does
not mean the chamber is unloaded. Always keep the chamber
empty and the “safety” in the on safe position unless shooting
is imminent.
4 ALWAYS WEAR EAR AND EYE PROTECTION WHEN SHOOTING.
Unprotected, repeated exposure to gunfire can cause hearing
damage. Wear hearing protection (shooting earplugs or muffs)
to guard against such damage.
Wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes from flying particles.
Allow proper distance (eye relief) between a scope and your
eye when firing a scoped rifle, shotgun or pistol. Do not use
unorthodox shooting methods that could cause the rearward travel
of the slide or bolt of a firearm to contact your eyes, face or hands.
Always keep a safe distance between the muzzle of your firearm
and any persons nearby, as muzzle blast, debris and ejecting
cartridges could inflict serious injury.
Always wear eye protection when disassembling and cleaning any
firearm to prevent the possibility of springs, spring-tensioned
parts, solvents or other agents from contacting your eyes.
5 KEEP ALL FIREARMS UNLOADED DURING TRANSPORT, EVEN
WHEN STORED IN A HOLSTER, GUN CASE, SCABBARD OR
OTHER CONTAINER.
6 DROPPING OR JARRING A LOADED FIREARM CAN CAUSE
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE.
This can occur even with the “safety” in the on safe position. Be
extremely careful while hunting or during any shooting activity
to avoid dropping any firearm.
