Basic Rules of Safe

Gun Handling

Page 9: Safe Gun Handling

Treat every gun as if were loaded

† You should NEVER relax when handling a gun because you THINK it is not

† Reasons:» You could be wrong, it could

be loaded» You might have forgot to

unload it» You might have forgot that

you already loaded it

Page 10: Safe Gun Handling

Never point a gun at anything you do not intend to destroy

† This is primarily for other people. In some places it is against the law to point a weapon at someone else.

† Someone might shoot you first out of self defense

Page 11: Safe Gun Handling

Know your target and what is behind it

† The bullet may miss or through the target and hit whatever is behind it

† Be aware of ricochets off of hard surfaces or even the flat surface of water ( bullets can skip off of water like a stone )

Keep your finger safe and off the trigger

until you are ready to fire

† You may not be thinking and squeeze the trigger accidently and harm or KILL someone without intending to

† You never want the gun to go off prematurely

Page 13: Safe Gun Handling

Keep your gun on safe until

you in tend to fire† If the weapon is dropped, it

could cause a misfire

† Same as previous slide

Page 14: Safe Gun Handling

Keep your gun pointed

down range† This is primarily used at a

firing range where

† Down Range = Targets

† Up Range = People

unloaded until you are on lane at a firing range
