A Tradition of Performance and Safety. In 1816 Eliphalet Remington was confident he could make a flintlock that was as good or better than any he could buy. His confidence was well founded. The barrel he handcrafted set a new standard for firearm accuracy and spawned generations of products that have made Remington® Arms America’s leading gunmaker. While performance and style are certainly hallmarks of Remington firearms, one factor ultimately drives their performance. Safety.
2nd COMMANDMENT (cont’d) Firearms Should be Unloaded When Not in Use and Secured from Unauthorized Use. Whenever you are carrying a loaded firearm in the field, you must unload it before crossing a fence, climbing into a tree stand or blind or in any other situation where you may not be able to fully control the firearm. Never pull or push a loaded firearm toward yourself or another person. Store your firearms unloaded in a secure place where unauthorized persons cannot gain access to them.
6th COMMANDMENT If Your Firearm Fails to Fire When You Pull the Trigger, Handle With Care. If a chambered round of ammunition does not fire when you pull the trigger, stop and keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Treat your firearm as if it could still discharge. Keep your face away from the breech. Slowly and carefully open the action, return the safety mechanism to the “safe” position, and unload the cartridge from the chamber. Dispose of the cartridge safely.

Never consume anything that would even mildly impair your judgement or physical coordination while handling a firearm.
