Universal Safety Rules

There are several versions of the Universal Safety Rules. Here are the ones that We use

  1. All guns are always loaded
  2. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are on target and ready to fire.
  3. Never point your muzzle at anything you are not willing to destroy.
  4. Be sure of your target, the backstop, and what is beyond.

I put a heavy emphasis on these rules in all of my classes. They are applicable in every circumstance, whether it is out plinking with the kids or in the fog of war.
