• Be sure the barrel and action are clear of obstructions.
• Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger.
• Unload guns when not in use.
• Never point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Never climb a fence or tree or jump a ditch with a loaded gun.
• Never shoot a bullet at a flat, hard surface or water.
• Store guns and ammunition separately, beyond the reach of children and careless adults.
