Don’t take any alcoholic beverages and/ or drugs before or during shooting activities. Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree, cross a ditch or fence with a loaded gun. Always empty guns before entering a house, car, truck, boat, RV, camp or any building. When receiving a gun, always open the action and check to make sure the chamber is unloaded.
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE If a gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it pointed down range at the target for 60 seconds. Sometimes slow primer ignition will cause a “hang fire” and the cartridge will go off after a short pause. If it still fails to fire, keep muzzle pointed in safe direction and avoid exposure to the breech, as you attempt to unload your firearm. Never let water, snow, mud or other material enter the barrel.
WARNING Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction! Never attempt to load or unload any firearm inside a vehicle, building or other confined space (except a properly constructed shooting range). Enclosed areas frequently offer no completely safe direction in which to point the firearm. If an accidental discharge occurs, there is great risk of death, personal injury or property damage.

D) Using the bore brush with powder solvent, scrub the interior of the barrel and chamber to remove any powder and lead residue in the bore.
LUBRICATION WARNING Firing a shotgun with oil, grease or any other material even partially obstructing the bore may result in damage to the shotgun and personal injury to the shooter and those nearby. Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on ammunition. If the powder charge of a cartridge is affected by the lubricant, they may not fully ignite yet the energy from the primer and/or powder may still be sufficient to push the projectile or wad into the bore where it may become lodged.
