Firearm Ownership 

Understanding Firearm Safety: Rules Every Gun Owner Must Know

Owning a firearm is a serious responsibility. Whether you're a first-time gun owner or a seasoned shooter, safety should always be your top priority. At [Your Store Name], we believe education and responsible ownership go hand in hand — and that starts with understanding the core rules of firearm safety.

✅ The Four Fundamental Rules of Gun Safety

These rules are universal. Whether you’re on the range, cleaning your weapon, or simply handling it at home — always follow them.

1. Treat Every Firearm As If It’s Loaded

Even if you "know" it’s not loaded, act as though it is. This mindset prevents complacency and accidental discharges.

2. Never Point the Muzzle at Anything You’re Not Willing to Destroy

Always be aware of where your muzzle is pointing. Even when dry firing or practicing, never aim at people or valuable property.

3. Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger Until You’re Ready to Shoot

This rule is especially crucial under stress. Train your finger to rest on the frame — not the trigger — until your sights are on the target.

4. Know Your Target and What’s Beyond It

Bullets can travel much farther than most people think. Whether at a range or in a defensive situation, always be aware of your surroundings.

🔐 Safe Handling & Storage Tips

Even when you're not using your firearm, safety still applies. Consider the following:

• Use a gun safe or lockbox to keep firearms inaccessible to children or unauthorized users.

• Unload your firearm when not in use, and store ammunition separately.

• Use cable locks or trigger locks as an added layer of security.

• Educate everyone in the household about gun safety — especially children.
