BEING A RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNER

HANDLING GUNS PROPERLY:

Before handling any firearm, you should be familiar with the following safety procedures: Be sure you know how the firearm operates. Not all firearms are the same. Know how to safely open and close the action of the firearm and know how to safely remove any ammunition from the gun or from the gun’s magazine. The manufacturer’s name and location are on every gun – write them for free safety and operating instructions.

It is very important to always keep a gun pointed in a safe direction, away from people. Even when handling an unloaded gun. Always check the to ensure the safety is on. A “safe direction” means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to fire it would not result in an injury.

Nearly all firearm accidents can be prevented by making sure that guns are kept unloaded and locked up when not in use, in a safe with ammunition secured in a separate location.

STORING FIREARMS PROPERLY:

As a firearm owner, you must make it so that guns in your home are stored so that they are not accessible to children or other unauthorized persons. Hiding a gun in a closet, drawer or similar location is not safe storage. Most hand guns come with a box and a key for safe storage.

Unloaded firearms can also be secured with a gun locking device that renders the firearm inoperable. A gun lock should be used as an additional safety precaution.

• Storage methods include keyed locks, combination locks, lock boxes and firearm safes.

• Keep the keys out of reach of children and where others cannot find them.

• Store ammunition in a seperate, securely locked container.

• Use a firearm safety device such as a trigger lock or a cable lock.

Keep all firearms locked in a safe place, away from children and other unauthorized persons, when not in use.

Store ammunition under lock and key, separately from firearms. Read and understand the owner’s manual that came with your firearm. Follow safe gun handling practices:

• Treat every firearm as if it were loaded

• Keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction

• Keep fingers off the trigger

• Keep the firearm unloaded when not in use.
