Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the 4 FIREARMS SAFETY RULES?
1. Treat All Firearms as Loaded at All Times! Make no exceptions. Don't "pretend" that this is true; be deadly serious about it.
2. Never let the Muzzle of your Firearm cover anything you are not willing to destroy. Discipline: Always keep your muzzle pointed in the safest direction and never intentionally cross anything I am not prepared to shoot.
-A Safe Direction is one where NO injury and only minor property damage could occur if an unintentional round is fired.
3. Keep your finger off the Trigger till your sights are on target: Keep your trigger finger straight on the frame of the gun unless the muzzle is pointed at something your are prepared to shoot. Keep the trigger finger outside the trigger guard when moving and when not actively engaging a target.
-The trigger finger is only placed into the trigger guard and on the trigger when coming on target just before firing. When you stop firing, take the trigger finger out of the trigger guard and lay it straight on the frame.
