removed when walking, climbing trees or fences, transferring the gun from one
person to another, leaving the gun unattended, etc.
5. Never lean a loaded fi rearm against a wall, tree, vehicle, or other surface. Any
fall of a loaded gun may result in an accidental fi ring of the gun, which may
result in severe injury or death.
6. Never transport a loaded fi rearm in any type of vehicle. A gun is considered
loaded until all cartridges are removed.
7. Never store a loaded fi rearm. The guns should be unloaded and the barrel and
mechanism cleaned before storage.
8. Never attempt to load a fi rearm without fi rst making sure the barrel is unloaded
and unobstructed.
9. Use extreme caution when hunting from a tree stand. The accidental dropping
of a fi rearm may cause a discharge, which may result in severe injury or death.
Be sure the fi rearm is unloaded before raising or lowering the fi rearm.
10. Never rely upon a mechanical safety! Mechanical features can and do fail.
Firearms must always be handled as if ready to fi re, regardless of the position
or condition of the mechanical safety.
11. Always use proper cleaning procedures. Firing of an improperly maintained
or corroded fi rearm may lead to unsafe pressure conditions and/or cause the
barrel to rupture resulting in severe injury or death.
12. Never allow the barrel to point at anything that you do not wish to see destroyed.

with your rifl e or pistol and to learn to properly manipulate the breeching lever,
hammer and trigger functions before attempting to load or fi re your gun.
