GOLDEN
RULE of firearm safety:
always treat a firearm as if it is loaded! If you are not
sure of how to empty,
load, and fire a weapon
- stop, don't take any chances, and ask someone for some basic instruction.
handed
to you, to always
make sure the firearm is unloaded. That is, for a pistol
1)
remove the magazine, 2) pull the slide to the rear, and 3) look into the
chamber to make sure a round is not left in the chamber, and for a revolver
1) open the cylinder, and 2) look into the cylinder chambers to make sure
rounds are not left in the chambers.
Remember, you didn't think the weapon
was unloaded - you actually followed the above procedures to insure
your safety and that of others.
Rule #2 - It
is your responsibility,
whenever you pickup a weapon or one is handed to you,
to
always keep your finger off the trigger until
you are ready to shoot. The finger should be placed
outside the trigger guard along side the frame.
Remember, a weapon, in good mechanical
repair, by itself posses no threat. It takes an individual to
pull that trigger.
Rule #3 - It
is your responsibility,
whenever you pickup a weapon or one is handed to you,
to
always keep the weapon pointed in a safe direction.
Common sense tells you which direction is safe;
at the range it is down range, at home, generally speaking, up, and not
at people.
Rule #4 - It
is your responsibility,
whenever you pickup a weapon or one is
handed
to you, to always
know your target and what is beyond.
Never point your weapon at a target you do not intend to destroy.
