Responsible firearm safety starts before the range.

Core safety principles

• Treat every firearm with consistent respect and caution.
• Keep control of muzzle direction at all times.
• Keep your finger indexed away from the trigger until ready to shoot.
• Know your target, surroundings, and what is beyond.
• Use proper eye and ear protection at the range.

Responsible ownership

Safety education should include storage planning, safe transport, local-law awareness, maintenance discipline, and a plan for keeping unauthorized people away from firearms.
