THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF FIREARM SAFETY
1. Always keep the gun’s muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Never pull the
gun towards you by the muzzle.
2. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
3. Never rely on a gun’s mechanical “safety”.
4. The gun should remain unloaded until ready to use.
5. Always wear hearing and eye protection.
6. The barrel must be clear of all obstructions before loading and shooting.
7. Handle every gun as if it were loaded.
8. Store guns and ammo separate and in a locked area.
9. Avoid alcoholic beverages and drugs before and during the use of a fi rearm.
10. Do not alter or modify your fi rearm. Have your fi rearm checked regularly
by a competent gunsmith. Make sure all parts work properly prior to
each use.
Health Warning: Discharging fi rearms in a poorly ventilated area and/or handling
ammunition may cause exposure to lead or lead compounds. According to the
state of California, exposure to lead or lead compounds may cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm. Make sure that you have proper ventilation
at all times. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after shooting, handling
ammunition, or cleaning your fi rearm. Do not eat or smoke during these activities.
