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 satisfac-
tion, 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 moved or 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 shooting 
is over....
