21 TEACH AND SUPERVISE FIREARMS SAFETY TO ALL
MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY, ESPECIALLY TO CHILDREN
AND NON-SHOOTERS.
Closely supervise newcomers to the shooting sports. Encourage
enrollment in hunting and shooting safety courses.
22 NEVER DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR TAKE ANY
TYPE OF DRUGS BEFORE OR DURING SHOOTING.
Your vision, motor skills and judgment could be dangerously impaired,
making your gun handling unsafe to you and to others.
23 READ AND HEED ALL WARNINGS IN THIS OWNER’S
MANUAL, ON AMMUNITION BOXES AND WITH ALL
ACCESSORIES THAT YOU INSTALL ON YOUR FIREARM.
It is your responsibility to secure the most up-to-date information on
the safe handling procedures for your FNH USA firearm.
We assume no liability for incidents which occur when unsafe or
improper pistol accessories or ammunition combinations are used.
24 PRACTICE PERIODIC MAINTENANCE, AVOID
UNAUTHORIZED SERVICING.
Your firearm is a mechanical device which will not last forever, and as
such, is subject to wear and requires periodic inspection, adjustment
and service. FNH USA firearms should be serviced by our service facility
in Arnold, Missouri.
We cannot assume any responsibility for injuries suffered or
caused by unauthorized servicing, alterations or modifications
of FNH USA firearms.
15 DO NOT SNAP THE FIRING PIN ON AN EMPTY
CHAMBER: THE CHAMBER MAY NOT BE EMPTY!
Treat every pistol with the respect due a loaded pistol, even though you
are certain the pistol is unloaded.
16 KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER AT ALL
TIMES UNTIL SHOOTING IS IMMINENT.
17 BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND BACKSTOP,
PARTICULARLY DURING LOW LIGHT PERIODS.
Know the range of your ammunition. Never shoot at water or
hard objects.
18 ALWAYS UNLOAD YOUR FIREARM’S CHAMBER BEFORE
CROSSING A FENCE, CLIMBING A TREE, JUMPING A
DITCH OR NEGOTIATING OTHER OBSTACLES.
Never place your firearm on or against a fence, tree, car or other
similar object.
For law enforcement and military personnel, refer to the procedures of
your department.
19 BE DEFENSIVE AND ON GUARD AGAINST UNSAFE GUN
HANDLING AROUND YOU AND OTHERS.
Don’t be timid when it comes to gun safety. If you observe other
shooters violating any of these safety precautions, politely suggest
safer handling practices.
20 BE CERTAIN YOUR FIREARM IS UNLOADED
BEFORE CLEANING.
Because so many gun accidents occur when a firearm is being
cleaned, special and extreme care should be taken to be sure your
firearm is unloaded before disassembly, cleaning and reassembly.
Keep ammunition away from the cleaning location. Never test the
mechanical function of any firearm with live ammunition.
