1. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction
This is the first and most important rule of gun safety. You should always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction, even when you are not using it. This means that the gun should never be pointed at yourself or anyone else. If you are not sure where to point the gun, always point it at the ground.
2. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot
You should only put your finger on the trigger when you are ready to shoot. Otherwise, keep your finger off the trigger and outside of the trigger guard. This will help prevent accidental discharge.
3. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it
Before you shoot, you should be absolutely sure of your target and what is beyond it. Once you pull the trigger, you cannot take back the bullet, so you need to be sure that your shot will not injure or kill someone accidentally.
4. Keep the gun unloaded until you are ready to use it
You should only load the gun when you are ready to use it. If you are not planning on using the gun immediately, keep it unloaded and stored in a safe place.
5. Know how to properly use the gun
Before you use a gun, you should make sure that you know how to properly use it. This includes knowing how to load and unload the gun, as well as how to safely operate it. If you are not familiar with the gun, take some time to read the manual or ask someone who is knowledgeable about guns for help.
