Laws of Gun Safety:

Always treat a gun as though it is loaded
Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction away from people and pets
Never put your finger in the trigger guard unless you are legally authorized to kill in self-defense or legal hunt
Always know what is beyond your target (i.e. Children, propane tanks, etc.)

1. Handling and Control:

When handling firearms, always treat every gun as loaded, regardless of its actual status. This principle ensures that you remain cautious and avoid accidents. Additionally, keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction is crucial—always aim the firearm away from yourself and others. It’s also important to keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot, preventing accidental discharges and ensuring control over the firearm.

2. Awareness and Responsibility:

Awareness and responsibility are key to safe firearm use. Ensure your target and what lies beyond it to prevent unintended harm. This careful consideration ensures that you only fire at intended targets and avoid any potential danger to others. Furthermore, never handle firearms under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Being clear-headed is essential for making safe decisions and maintaining control.

3. Storage and Education:

Proper storage and education are fundamental to firearm safety. Always store firearms unloaded and securely locked away, with ammunition kept separately to prevent unauthorized access. Equally important is ensuring that you and anyone handling the firearm are properly trained in gun safety and operation. This education helps in understanding and adhering to safety practices, reducing the risk of accidents, and promoting responsible firearm use.
