THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF SAFETY
  • Treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun.
  • Carry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open, into your car, camp and home.
  • Always be sure that the barrel and action are clear of obstructions.
  • Always carry your gun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle.
  • Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger.
  • Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot.
  • Never leave your gun unattended unless you unload it first.
  • Never climb a tree or a fence with a loaded gun.
  • Never shoot at a flat, hard surface or the surface of water.
  • Do not mix gunpowder and alcohol.
FIREARM SAFETY – BASIC FUNDAMENTALS
  • Never have in your possession a firearm that is loaded, unless you are holding it and ready to shoot.
