Treat every weapon as if it were loaded.
Hever point a weapon at anything or anybody that you do not intend to shoot, or in a direction where an unintentional discharge may result in damage to property, injury or death.
Mover place your finger into the trigger guard Until you are ready to fire the weapon.
Be sure of your target and of what's behind it before firing! At 25 meters, even a 9mm projectile can easily penetrate wood or plasterboard walls or a car door and may travel more than 1 mile!
Ensure that all parts of your hands and body are kept away from the muzzle of the weapon at all times!
Always wear eye protection (with side protection when firing on steel targets) and ear protection when firing any firearm.
Clear every weapon before handling it.
