THE BASIC RULES OF SAFE FIREARMS HANDLING
We believe that Americans have a right to purchase and use firearms for lawful pur-
poses. The private ownership of firearms in America is traditional, but that ownership
imposes the responsibility on the gun owner to use his firearms in a way which will
ensure his own safety and that of others. When firearms are used in a safe and
responsible manner, they are a great source of pleasure and satisfaction, and repre-
sent a fundamental part of our personal...

A safe direction must take into account the fact that a bullet may penetrate a
wall, ceiling, floor, window, etc., and strike a person or damage property.
Make it a habit to know exactly where the muzzle of your gun is pointing
whenever you handle it, and be sure that you are always in control of the
direction in which the muzzle is pointing, even if you fall or stumble. Keep
your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
3. FIREARMS SHOULD BE UNLOADED WHEN NOT IN
USE
.
Firearms should be...

5. BE SURE OF YOUR
TARGET BEFORE YOU
SHOOT.
Don’t shoot unless you know
exactly where your bullet is going
to strike. Be sure of the bullet
stop behind your target, even
when dry-firing with an unloaded
gun. If you are in the field hunt-
ing, do not fire at a movement or
noise. Take the time to be
absolutely certain of your target
before you pull the trigger.
6. WEAR SHOOTING
GLASSES AND HEARING
PROTECTORS WHEN
YOU SHOOT.
All shooters should wear protec-
tive shooting glasses and ade-
quate hearing...

8. DON’T SHOOT AT A
HARD SURFACE, OR AT
WATER.
Bullets can glance off many sur-
faces like rocks or the surface of
water and travel in unpredictable
directions with considerable
velocity.
9. NEVER TRANSPORT A
LOADED FIREARM.
Firearms should always be
unloaded before being placed in a
vehicle. A suitable carrying case
or scabbard should be used to
carry an unloaded firearm to and
from the shooting area.
10. AVOID ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES WHEN
SHOOTING.
Don’t drink until the day’s shoot-
ing is over....

ABRIEF ACCOUNT OF AN EXTRAORDINARY
ACHIEVEMENT: RUGER FIREARMS
One of the few American firearms manufacturers whose management
has remained unchanged since starting in business, Sturm, Ruger &
Company, Inc., had its beginning in a small machine shop occupying a
rented frame building in Southport, Connecticut. In January, 1949, with
an initial investment of only $50,000 and an idea, William B. Ruger and
Alexander M. Sturm started production of a .22 caliber autoloading pis-
tol–a design which was so...

WHY NO WARRANTY CARD HAS BEEN
PACKED WITH THIS NEW RUGER FIREARM
The Magnuson-Moss Act (Public Law 93-637) does not require any
seller or manufacturer of a consumer product to give a written war-
ranty. It does provide that if a written warranty is given, it must be
designated as “limited” or as “full” and sets minimum standards for a
“full” warranty. Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has elected not to pro-
vide any written warranty, either “limited” or “full”, rather than to
attempt to comply with the...
