The Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety
1. Watch that muzzle! Keep it pointed in a safe direction at all times.
2. Treat every firearm with the respect due a loaded gun. It might be, even if you
think it isn’t.
3. Be sure of the target and what is in front of it and beyond it. Know the identifying
features of the game you hunt. Make sure you have an adequate backstop --- don’t
shoot at a flat, hard surface or water.
4. Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot. This is the best
way to prevent an accidental discharge.
5. Check your barrel and ammunition. Make sure the barrel and action are clear of
obstructions and carry only the proper ammunition for your firearm.
6. Unload firearms when not in use. Leave actions open/ carry firearms in cases and
unloaded to and from the shooting area.
7. Point a firearm only at something you intend to shoot. Avoid all horseplay with a
Gun
8. Don’t run, jump or climb with a loaded firearm. Unload a firearm before you
climb a fence or tree, or jump a ditch. Pull a firearm toward you by the butt, not
the muzzle.
9. Store firearms and ammunition separately and safely. Store each in secured
locations beyond the reach of children and careless adults.
10. Avoid alcoholic beverages before or during shooting. Also avoid mind- or
behavior altering medicines or drugs.
