From the time an individual picks up a rearm, that individual shooter becomes

a part of a system over which he has complete control. He is the only part of

the system that can make a gun safe – or unsafe. Hunting and target shooting

are among the safest of all sports. This booklet is intended to make them even

safer – by re-emphasizing and reafrming the basics of safe gun handling and

storage and by reminding each individual shooter that he or she is the key to

rearms safety. You can help meet this responsibility by enrolling in hunter

safety or shooting safety courses. You must constantly stress safety when

handling rearms, especially to children and non-shooters. Newcomers in

particular must be closely supervised when handling rearms with which they

may not be acquainted. Don’t be timid when it comes to gun safety. If you

observe anyone violating any safety precautions, you have an obligation to

suggest safer handling practices, such as those in this booklet. Please read

these rules carefully and follow the safety procedures outlined. Firearms safety

is up to you. Make no mistake about it.
