Firearms Safety

 

Safety is the primary goal

 

Conscientious attention to these rules will prevent most, if not all, gun accidents. Be aware that ignorance and carelessness lead to accidents in all walks of life, including the handling of firearms.

 

Although there are many good safety rules that can be applied, these four are excellent and are also the required learning and knowledge within the South Carolina rules.

 

Treat all firearms as if they were loaded!

 

Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction!

 

Always keep your finger off the trigger until you have decided to shoot!

 

Know your target and what is beyond it!
