Gun Safety
4 Safety Rules for Firearms
Treat every gun as if it were loaded.
Always point your gun in a safe direction and never at anything you don't intend to shoot.
Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
Be sure of your target and whats beyond.
Safe Gun Handling
When ever you pick up a gun, and you are not sure it is load, treated as though it is loaded. Always point it in a safe direction with your finger off the trigger. Engage the safety if it has one and remove the magazine. Open the action and visually and physically inspect the chamber to determine if the gun is loaded or not.
If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the firearm, leave the gun alone and get help from someone that does.
