THE 4 RULES TO GUN SAFETY
The Gun Is Always Loaded! Treat every gun as if it is loaded even when your 100% sure it is not!
Never Point A Gun At Something You're Not Prepared To Destroy! Are you 100% sure your not loaded?
Always Be Sure Of Your Target And What Is Behind It! Did you see those kids behind the tree?
Keep Your Finger Off The Trigger and Out of the Trigger Guard Until Your Sights are on the Target and your Brain Sends a Signal to Shoot!
