THE BASIC RULES OF SAFE FIREARMS HANDLING
We believe that Americans have a right to purchase and use firearms for
lawful purposes. 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 represent a fundamental part of our personal
liberty....

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
hunting, 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
protective shooting glasses and
adequate hearing...

8. DON’T SHOOT AT A
HARD SURFACE, OR AT
WATER.
Bullets can glance off many
surfaces 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 by 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
shooting is over. Handling...

A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF AN EXTRAORDINARY
ACHIEVEMENT: RUGER FIREARMS
One of the few American firearms manufacturers whose management
has remained in the same family 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 pistol–a design which was...

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

designated as “limited” or as “full” and sets minimum standards for a

attempt to comply with the...
