Gun Owner’s Responsibilities
Americans enjoy a right that citizens of many other countries do not— the right to own firearms. But with that right comes responsibility.
It is the gun owner’s responsibility to store, operate and maintain his or her firearms safely. It is the gun owner’s responsibility to ensure that unauthorized and untrained individuals cannot gain access to his or her firearms. It’s also the gun owner’s responsibility to learn and follow all applicable laws that pertain to the purchase, possession and use of firearms in his or her jurisdiction. Guns are neither safe or unsafe by themselves. When people practice responsible gun ownership, firearms are safe.
Gun Safety Rules
Gun Safety is everyone’s responsibility.
The three most important rules of gun safety are:
- ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
- ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
- ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
Other Rules To Keep In Mind:
- Know your target and what is beyond.
- Know how to use the gun safely.
- Be sure the gun is safe to operate.
- Use only the correct ammunition for your gun.
- Wear eye and ear protection as appropriate.
- Never use alcohol or drugs before or while shooting.
- Be aware that certain types of guns and many shooting
activities require additional safety precautions.
