obligatory firearm safety reminder:

  • rule one is "keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire"
  • rule two is "never point the weapon at anything you are not willing to destroy"
  • rule three is "always treat any weapon as though it is loaded"
  • rule four is "know your target and what lays beyond it"

only by holding each other accountable can we make sure that everyone stays safe and has fun.

My ccw class taught updated rules that I think are better:

1: always keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire.

2: always keep your weapon pointed in a safe direction. (In a defense situation, the bad guy is a safe direction)

3: always treat as loaded until verified otherwise.(Some firearms need to be dry fired to be cleaned)

4: know your target and it's surroundings. You are responsible for every bullet that leaves your weapon.
