with firearms. In the woods. On the range. Or in your home. Please take time

If you observe anyone violating any safety precautions, you have an
obligation to suggest better handling practices. Please read these rules
carefully and follow the safety procedures outlined. Firearm safety is up to
you. Make no mistake about it.

SHOULD BE UNLOADED WHEN NOT ACTUALLY IN USE.

YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEHIND IT.
5. USE THE CORRECT
AMMUNITION FOR YOUR FIREARM.
6. IF YOUR GUN
FAILS TO FIRE WHEN THE TRIGGER IS PULLED,HANDLE WITH CARE.
