This is the primary rule of gun safety. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances.
- ALWAYS Keep Your Finger Off The Trigger Until Ready To Shoot: When holding a gun, rest your finger alongside the frame and outside the trigger guard. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger.
- ALWAYS Keep The Gun Unloaded Until Ready To Use:
If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does.
