Safety is paramount when handling guns and unfortunately complacency can get the best of us. As gun owners, it’s important for us to not only keep ourselves safe but also protect those around us.
If you need a refresher:

Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
Make sure you know what your target is and what’s beyond it.

Additionally, model good gun behavior at the range by wearing proper ear and eye protection.
2. Properly Store Guns When Not In Use and Record Serial Numbers
