Ten Rules of Firearms Safety

  1. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
  2. Treat every firearm as though it were loaded.  Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. 
  3. Always make sure the firearm is unloaded and keep the action open except when actually hunting or preparing to shoot.
  4. Be sure the barrel and action are clear of obstruction and that you have the proper ammunition for the firearm you are carrying.
  5. Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger.
  6. Never point a firearm at anything you do not want to shoot. Avoid all horseplay with any firearm.
  7. Never climb a fence, tree, or jump a ditch with a loaded firearm.
  8. Never shoot at a flat hard surface or water.
  9. Store firearms and ammunition separately.
  10. Avoid alcohol and other drugs before or during shooting.
