Treat every gun as if it is loaded, never point a gun at something you are not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target, and be aware of your target and what is beyond it.

Only use your firearm for self-defense, never practice with live ammunition, always store your firearm loaded and ready to use, and keep your firearm away from children.

Always keep your firearm in the holster, never handle a firearm without gloves, always aim your firearm at the ground, and never load more than one bullet at a time.
