As with anything that could have fatal consequences,
operating a gun requires safety measures. You don’t get to own a gun and just
be trigger happy about it – you need to be responsible as it may lead to life
or death, not only for you but also for the people around you. In some states,
you wont be able to purchase a gun from gun stores unless
you go through a safety course and successfully finish it. It is that seriously
important. It would be best if all the states are to practice this kind of
strict regulation when comes to gun purchases.
Presume that the gun you are holding is always loaded. If
you imagine that you are using a loaded gun, ready to be pointed at something
and shoot, you wont be pointing it to somebody you don’t intend to shoot. Also,
there’s no need for you to look inside the barrel. So unless you are aiming it
at a target you plan to shoot, always remember that it is loaded and ready to
be fired.
A gun is specifically designed to blast holes on things. Do
not point at anything you don’t mean to shoot. It should always be treated with
respect. You don’t put your hand against a power saw, so why point a gun at
something you don’t want to shoot? Again, always imagine that it is always
loaded with bullets and ready to fire. If you respect its power enough, you
don’t fool around with it.
Keep the safety on all the time, unless you are ready to
fire. There are lots of casualties and accidents because of misfires. You don’t
want to add to the growing number of mishandled guns that accidentally went off
because the safety was off. You don’t want to risk your life, or anybody else’s
life for that matter. Be responsible. Keep the safety device on.
Never put your finger on the trigger if you are not ready to
shoot. This is much like the safety precaution said above. Your hands can
sometimes fail you. It is a good practice to keep your finger near the trigger
if you are not about to shoot anything or in a gun range.
Just bear in mind all the things mentioned above so you wont
harm anyone when handling a firearm. Ask help with your gun dealers
about safety. Thank you for being a responsible gun owner.
