Background

Firearms are like any other dangerous tool and should be treated with the care and respect they deserve. Here are some basic rules to follow when handling firearms:

1. Treat every firearm like it is loaded (even if they are not, treat them as if they are).

2. Keep it pointed in a safe direction and never point it at something you don't intend to shoot.

3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

4. Always keep the firearm unloaded until you are ready to shoot.

5. Keep your firearm locked up and in a safe place until ready for use.

6. Wear eye and ear protection when shooting your firearm.

There are other rules, but this covers the basics.
