RULES OF GUN SAFETY

Like all tools, they can be dangerous if not used properly. A power drill could easily mess up your wrist if not gripped the right way. Debris could get into your eyes if without eye protection. Impact wrenches can be loud and hammers can stub your fingers or even break bones. You probably get the point. With firearms, you have to know these four essential rules of gun safety which could save your life and the lives of your friends or loved ones.
1. TREAT EVERY FIREARM AS IF IT WERE LOADED.
The difference between the average tool at home and a gun is that one might just really hurt you and the other one could take a life. Always check to see, if a gun is loaded. Anytime you are around firearms, you should treat them as if they were loaded. This teaches you some obvious practices like avoiding muzzles pointed in your direction or looking down a barrel
2. DON’T POINT AT ANYTHING YOU DON’T INTEND TO SHOOT.
Negligent discharges and guns going off accidentally are more common than one would think. Avoid the regret of shooting anything on accident!
3 KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU’RE READY TO FIRE.
The most important rule for firearm safety is to have good trigger discipline. Unless you’re about to or are already shooting, their index finger is resting on the frame and not the trigger. This is the first thing everyone should be taught when new to firearms regardless of age or even if your kids are just playing with Nerf guns.
Remember to follow these rules of gun safety religiously because things can still go wrong even when you do everything right. It could be the difference of life and death for someone.
