For new sportsmen or firearm owners these simple guidelines can assist in preventing NDs (Negligent Discharges) and more serious events.
These have been modernized into the following rules
- Treat all firearms as if they are loaded.
- Never point a firearm at anyone or anything you are unwilling to destroy.
- Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until you’re ready to fire
- Know what your target is and what’s behind your target
This modernization is important as we re-evaluate everyday carry and home defense.
Whether you own firearms or not it is important that you teach your family about proper handling. You or your family member might prevent a horrid event from occuring.
