The 4 Safety Rules to Live By:
- Treat All Firearms as if They Are Loaded: Never assume a firearm is unloaded—always check and double-check before handling.
- Never Point a Firearm at Anything You Are Not Willing to Destroy: Keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction at all times.
- Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger Until Ready to Shoot: Maintain discipline by keeping your trigger finger outside the trigger guard until your sights are on target.
- Be Sure of Your Target and What Is Beyond It: Always identify your target and what lies beyond to prevent unintended harm.
