Ten Rules For Hunters
Ten rules for safe gun handling. Do not point at what you do not intend to shoot. Do not load when someone is in front. Do not stand in front of someone loading. Keep the face away from the muzzle. Do not cock and pull trigger for fun. When loading keep the muzzle toward the front in a safe direction. Remember bullets can ricochet off hard surfaces. Do not shoot at flat hard surfaces. Carry gun over shoulder with muzzle up or stock under arm. Keep gun loaded only when hunting and lock it afterward.
