Firearms Safety Review
Before we move further into laws and carrying practices, this section reviews the core principles of firearms safety. These apply whether you’re at the range, in your home, or carrying in public.
🔒 The Four Universal Rules of Gun Safety:
- Treat all guns as if they are always loaded.
- Never point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you are ready to shoot.
- Be sure of your target — and what’s beyond it.
📌 Additional Key Safety Points:
- Always perform a visual and physical check when unloading
- Use the correct ammunition for your firearm
- Never rely solely on a mechanical safety
- Store firearms securely and out of reach of unauthorized users
Safety is not a switch — it’s a mindset. Whether you’re at the range, in public, or at home, safety comes first.
