10 SHOOTING SAFETY RULES
1
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
There are several safe “carries” depending on the situation. NEVER
ALLOW THE MUZZLE TO POINT IN THE
DIRECTION OF A PERSON.
2
Treat every gun as if it were loaded.
You can never be positive that you were the last person to handle
the gun. Never take anyone’s word about whether or not a gun is
loaded. Always check a gun to see if it is loaded when removed
from storage or received from another person. Even if you have fired
an airgun one or more times and no pellet or BB was expelled from
the barrel, it does not mean that the magazine of the gun is empty of
ammunition. Any airgun can fail to feed for any number of reasons.
Continue to treat the airgun as loaded and ready to fire. ALWAYS
TREAT A GUN AS IF IT IS LOADED EVEN IF YOU KNOW IT ISN’T.
3
Only load or cock a gun when you are shooting.
A loaded gun has no place in your home or
other public place.
4
Check your target and beyond your target.
Be sure all persons are well clear
of the target area before you shoot. Check behind and beyond your
target to be certain you have a safe backstop and that no person or
property could be endangered.
5
Anyone shooting or near a shooter should
wear shooting glasses.
Also, all other persons should remain behind the shooter.
6
Never climb or jump with a gun.
You can’t control the direction of the muzzle if you stumble or fall.
You should safely lay the gun down or hand it to a companion while
you climb or jump over anything.
7
Avoid ricochet.
Never shoot at a flat hard surface or at the surface of water.
Ammunition can ricochet off of water just like a skipped rock.
8
Keep the muzzle clear.
Never let anything obstruct the muzzle of a gun. Don’t allow the
muzzle to come in contact with the ground.
9
Guns not in use should always be unloaded.
Keeping guns unloaded when not in use is critical to the safety of
you and others. When you are finished shooting, put the trigger
safety in the “on” position and unload the gun. Store guns so that
they are inaccessible to untrained shooters and store ammunition
separately from the gun.
10
Respect other people’s property.
Whether you’re target shooting or hunting, if you’re a guest on oth-
ers’ land, you should leave it exactly as you found it.
