The Basic Rules of Firearms Safety

Rule 1

Treat all firearms as if they are loaded.

Rule 2

• Never point the muzzle at anything you are not willing to destroy.
• Always point the muzzle in a safe direction, away from yourself and others.
• A safe direction is where if the gun accidentally fires, it wouldn’t damage or injure anyone or anything.

Rule 3

Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are aligned on the target and ready to fire.

Rule 4

• Always be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
• This includes making sure nothing is beyond your target that you don’t want to destroy.

A Certificate of Training is available with successful completion of the final exam.
