ADDITIONAL SAFETY POINTS - Accurate Answers✔✔✔ Never
handle a gun when you are in an emotional state such as anger or
depression. Your judgment may be impaired.
• Never shoot a gun in celebration (such as on the Fourth of July or New
Year's Eve, for example). Not only is this unsafe, but it is generally
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 and
the
cylinder or action is open. Take a gun from someone only after you
verify
that it is unloaded and the cylinder or action is open.
• Guns, alcohol and drugs don't mix. Alcohol and drugs can negatively
affect
judgment as well as physical coordination. Alcohol and any other
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
when you are taking medications that cause drowsiness or include a
warning
to not operate machinery while taking the drug.
• The loud noise from a fired gun can cause hearing damage, and the
debris
and hot gas that is often emitted can result in eye injury. Always wear
ear
and eye protection when shooting a gun.
