Manual

A safe direction must take into account the fact that a bullet may penetrate a

wall, ceiling, floor, window, etc., and strike a person or damage property. Make

it a habit to know exactly where the muzzle of your gun is pointing whenever

you handle it, and be sure that you are always in control of the direction in

which the muzzle is pointing, even if you fall or stumble. Keep your finger off

the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

3. FIREARMS SHOULD BE UNLOADED WHEN NOT IN USE.

Firearms should be loaded only when

you are in the field or on the target

range or shooting area, ready to shoot.

Firearms and ammunition should be

securely locked in safes, racks or cabi-

nets, or by using the locking device

supplied with the firearm when not in

use. Ammunition should be safely

stored separate from firearms. Store

your firearms out of sight of visitors

and children. It is the gun owner’s

responsibility to be certain that chil-

dren and persons unfamiliar with

firearms cannot gain access to

firearms, ammunition, or components.

4. BE SURE THE BARREL IS CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE SHOOTING.

Even a bit of mud, snow or excess

lubricating oil or grease in the bore

may cause the barrel to bulge, or

even burst on firing, and can cause

injury to the shooter and bystanders.

Be sure that you are using

ammunition of the proper caliber

and loading for the gun you are

using. If the report or recoil on firing

seems weak, or doesn’t seem quite

right, CEASE FIRING IMMEDIATELY,

unload your firearm, and check to be

sure that no obstruction has become

lodged in the barrel. Never try to

shoot an obstruction out!
