TEN COMMANDMENTS OF
FIRE SAFETY
1. Don’t rely on your gun’s safety. Treat every gun as if it were loaded and ready to fire.
2. Don’t shoot unless absolutely sure of your target and what is beyond it.
3. Always be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions. Only carry ammunition of the proper size for the
gun you are using.
4. Never point your gun at anything you do not want to shoot. Watch your muzzle so the other person
doesn’t have to.
7. Never carry a loaded gun, when you climb a tree, cross a fence, jump a ditch or go through areas
where you are apt to slip or trip.
8. Never shoot at a hard, flat surface or the surface of water. Make sure you have a safe backstop.
9. Carry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open.
10. Store guns and ammunition separately; beyond the reach of children.
