NRA Gun Safety Rules Conscientious attention to these rules will prevent most, if not all, gun accidents. Be aware that ignorance and carelessness lead to accidents in all walks of life, including the handling of firearms. |
|
If the gun should discharge, it should not harm any person or destroy any property. Careful attention to muzzle direction is key to safely handling a firearm. Be aware of what objects can stop a bullet, and what ones cannot.
In our NRA courses, and on the shooting range, we will explain and point out the safe directions available. |
|
Under normal conditions guns do not discharge unless the trigger is pulled. When holding or manipulating a gun, hold the grip firmly and place the trigger finger along the frame or receiver, not inside the trigger guard.
|
|
Guns cannot be discharged unless they are loaded with live ammunition. There are many uses of guns which permit them to be loaded, but they must always be under your control.
Guns not in use but stored should have the action locked open so that anyone may inspect the chamber and magazine for live ammunition.
When handing a gun to another person, Lock open the action (if possible) and check the chamber and magazine by sight and feel to ensure that no live ammunition is present. The person receiving the gun should also check. |
