2nd COMMANDMENT (cont’d)

Firearms Should be Unloaded When Not in Use and Secured from

Unauthorized Use.

Whenever you are carrying a loaded firearm in the field

, you must unload it before crossing a fence, climbing

into a tree stand or blind or in any other situation where you may not be able to fully control the firearm. Never

pull or push a loaded firearm toward yourself or another person.

Store your firearms unloaded

in a secure place where unauthorized persons cannot gain access to them. Store

firearms and ammunition separately. If you use an external security device such as a cable lock or trigger lock,

you must still keep the firearm unloaded when locked. Whether you utilize a locked gun safe or external lock-

ing device, it is your responsibility to make sure that children and other unauthorized persons cannot gain

access to your firearm and ammunition.

3rd COMMANDMENT

Never Rely on Your Firearm’s Safety Mechanism to Justify Careless Handling.

If your firearm is equipped with a manual safety mechanism

, do not rely on the safety as an excuse for improp-

er or careless handling of the firearm. The safety mechanism is merely a supplement to your proper handling of

the firearm. The safety mechanism may be broken or altered. Even if you think you have previously engaged

the safety in the “safe” position, it may have been inadvertently disengaged without your knowledge while being

carried. Never assume that the safety mechanism is engaged in the “safe” position. Your assumption may be

wrong or mistaken. Treat your firearms safety mechanism like you would treat any other mechanical device - as

something that could break or fail.

Not all safety mechanisms operate in the same manner

. Before using any firearm, know and understand pre-

cisely how the safety mechanism on that particular firearm operates. Never pull the trigger when the safety

mechanism is in the “safe” position, and keep your fingers away from the trigger while loading, unloading, and

engaging or disengaging the safety mechanism.

4th COMMANDMENT

Know Your Target and What’s Beyond It.

Never fire a shot unless

you know exactly where the shot is going and what it will strike. Bullets and shot can

travel great distances with deadly velocity. When hunting game, never fire at a sound, a movement or a patch

of color - an impulsive shot can have tragic consequences. A fellow hunter in camouflage may be mistaken for

game by an impulsive shooter.

In addition to being sure of your target

, you must know what lies beyond the target. In other words, make sure

of your backstop. Also, beware of ricochets - never shoot at water or a hard surface.

5th COMMANDMENT

Use Proper Ammunition.

Every firearm is designed to use only a specified caliber,

gauge or length of ammunition. Use of the wrong

ammunition can cause serious personal injury or death. It is your responsibility to make sure the ammunition

exactly matches the specifications for your firearm.

Use of improperly reloaded ammunition can also be dangerous.

Firearms are designed, manufactured, and

proof-tested to specified industry standards. Hand-loaded or reloaded ammunition that deviates, either inten-

tionally or accidentally, from specified loadings can be extremely hazardous. It is strongly recommended, there-

fore, that you use only factory ammunition from a reputable ammunition manufacturer. If you do reload, you have

assumed the risks and responsibilities of an ammunition manufacturer.
