Remember Firearm Safety

Everyone is a Range Safety Officer, if it seems unsafe call

Treat all firearm as if it were loaded.

Never point a firearm at anything you're not willing to destroy.
Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until ready to shoot.
Know your target and what lies beyond.

In addition:

Ensure the weapon is safe to fire, a gunsmith is cheaper than a hospital visit.

Only use the ammunition type stamped on the barrel or listed in the user manual.
Wear eye and ear protection.
Alcohol, legal and illegal drugs, and firearms are never a good combination. Do not mix!
Keep weapons out of the reach of children, criminals, and other prohibited persons - it is your responsibility to protect your firearms!
