Given the topic of this forum, I think i'll include some things about firearms and firearm safety.
First off, the rules.
1. Always point the muzzle in a safe direction.
2. Always keep the weapon unloaded until ready for use.
3. Do not horseplay with a firearm.
4. Keep your finger off the trigger and safety on until you are ready to fire.
5. Do not take custody of or do maintenance on firearm unless it is visually inspected and is clear & safe.
6. Do not draw a weapon unless you intend to use it.
And here's a bit of lingo for firearms so you under stand the weapons condition.
Clear & Safe-Safety on, slide/bolt to the rear, no rounds in chamber, no magazine in the magazine well, or rounds in magazine tube (shotgun). Weapon should always be visually inspected to be clear & safe before taking custody or handling the weapon.
Condition 4-Inspected clear & safe, safety on, slide/bolt forward, no round in chamber, no magazine in magazine well, or rounds in magazine tube.
Condition 3-Safety on, slide/bolt forward, loaded magazine in magazine well, or rounds in magaizine tube.
Condition 1-Safety on, slide/bolt forward, round in chamber, loaded magazine well, or rounds in magaizine tube.
