Bertie The fundamental rules for safe gun handling a 1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances. 2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger. 3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety, and, if the gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and looking into the chamber(s) which should be clear of ammunition. If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does. Bottom line -- only point it at things you don't mind killing. Exactly. of course, you're determined to kill the whole planet anyway, so presumably you're exempt form the above Bertie I am? If so, I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind. |

I used to change my name when I wasn't trolong, but I got too lazy.. What does Dudley have to do with it? Nothing. Matt thinks in his tiny mind that anyone who talks to me is somehow enabling me. It's because he doesn't understand trolling. Bertie Well, I'll talk to you -- but prefer when it's about airplanes. I think on just about every other topic I'd have to go out and buy an SUV or two to reach the desired end-state. Dan Mc |
