,2 || |P | a | g |e
illegal. A bullet fired into the air can return to the ground with
| | | | | | | | | | | |
|enough
speed to cause injury or death.
| | | | |
• Do not shoot at water, flat or hard surfaces. The bullet can ricochet
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
and hit
| |
someone or something other than the target. | | | | | |
• Hand your gun to someone only after you verify that it is unloaded
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

verify

that it is unloaded and the cylinder or action is open.

| | | | | | | | |
|substances
are likely to impair normal mental or physical functions and should
| | | | | | | | | |
not be
| |
used before or while handling guns. Avoid handling and using your
| | | | | | | | | |
gun

| | | | | | | | | | | |
wear ear
| |
and eye protection when shooting a gun.
| | | | | |
A safe practice when handling a
| | | | |
gun is to rest your finger on the
| | | | | | | |
outside of the trigger guard or
| | | | | |
along the side of the gun until
| | | | | | |
you are ready to shoot. - ANSWERS--True
| | | | | |
To "know your target, its
| | | |
surroundings and beyond," you
| | | |
must consider that if the bullet
| | | | | |
misses or completely passes
| | | |
through the target, it could strike
| | | | | |
a person or object. - ANSWERS--True
| | | | |
